Received today, Subject: Job offer - This one is almost silly, when you read the part about their last employee falling sick. . .I counted 7 spelling erors, but likely missed some. What worries me is people actually fall for this. Hello , My name is Dean John and am the Employment Manager of Costa Coffee, a quality coffee company based in the United Kingdom. the company has been setup in Lambeth, London since 1971, supplying all local caterers, major Italian and American coffee shops and around the world, with an exciting coffee, slow-roasted the Italian way. People couldn’t get enough of it and by 1978 the first Costa espresso bar opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road in London. To this day we still use the same method of slow-roasting our coffee beans, serving the brothers’ authentic blend of 6 Arabica beans to 1 Robusta in 500 coffee shops all over the world. The company is always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling our products to Americans because they are always offering to pay with US MONEY ORDERS and US CHECKS which is difficult for us to cash here in the UK since the last person that represents us in the US has just fallen sick and cannot continue the job. We are looking for a representative in the United States who will be working for the company as a Part-Time Representative/Bookkeeper and we'll be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, of course it would'nt affect ur present state of work because you may do it as a PART-TIME work, all we need is just someone who would help us recieve payments from our customers in the states. i mean someone that is responsible and reliable, cause the cost of coming to the states and getting payments is very expensive so for now we need a representative in the United State who will be handling the payment aspect. These payments are in US Money Orders/Checks and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money orders and checks, deduct your percentage(10%) and wire the rest back. It wouldnt cost you any amount, you are to receive payments which will be mailed to you by post from my business patners, which would come in form of Money Orders or Checks then you are to cash it and send the cash to me via western union money transfer all western union charges will be deducted from the money. If you are interested, please fill up the form below and get back to me as soon as possible. Endeavour to send your reply through my e-mail address. NB: If you are interested do not hestitate to fill up the form attached below and get it back to me ASAP. Regards, Dean John.

funny, they can't even spell 'coffee' and it's their supposed business.... and you are right, someone WILL fall for it.....without a doubt
What is an "employment manager" ? Never heard that one. My ex's sister fell for one like this, told all her family about it too... then had to go back and tell everyone it wasn't...
