Phishing scam- beware emails from a 'Kendall Sullivan" < lladenkall gmail.com>

I got an email from the above, supposedly about a data entry job - sadly i dont remember where it was advertised.

It promises 10% commission for banking cheques from overseas sales agents, and then forwarding money on elsewhere..

THIS IS MONEY LAUNDERING - DO NOT DO IT!

If you get anything like this with a Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo account you can bet that it's a scam. I had one recently about a job with Shell, they even has a valid Shell office address but as they had a Gmail account it was obviously bogus.

Actually it's not money laundering. What they do is give you a cheque to present, you present and they then take the 90% (less the 10% commission) by getting you to use western union or something similar and then the original cheque is returned by the issuing bank leaving you 90% out of pocket and with no way of getting your money back.

I have one yesterday, which had my proper house address in it, which was a bit worrying. "Dear xxx - do you still live at xx xxxxxx, Shoreham ?". Don't know where they matched my house to my googlemail account.

No, it plain and simple fraud. To 'clean' money then the dirty money has to exist in the first place. This 'money' never exists outside the greedy corrupt minds of those who fall for this scam and the minds of the fraudsters.

It's like 419'ers, just a slight variation on that theme.
