The following is an example email for this fake job, otherwise known as a money mule scam. Please forward all fake job emails to scams@fraudwatchinternational.com

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
How are you doing today? I came across your email address and your brief profile through an email listing affiliated with the American Chamber of Commerce. I would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn a lot.
 
Would you like to work from home and get paid weekly? My name is JOHN MENDLES and I have been doing artwork and paintings since I was a child. That gives me about 24 years of experience as an artist and artwork seller. I am now resident in the UK and now run my Gallery and Arts store Bliss Arts in Manchester. I am presently looking for a book-keeper in the United States/Canada. My North American clients make payments for my works and paintings every week in form of Money Order or cheque which are not readily cashable outside the United States, so I need someone in the United States/Canada to work as my representative and assist me in processing the payments from my clients and he/she would be paid a weekly salary. I graduated from Ulianova art factory of the USSR Union of journalists in 1983.My specialty is book graphics. My artworks have been bought by the Institute of Russian economy and culture (Illinois, USA), by a private Gallery in Madrid (Spain), by the Russian Embassy in Ireland and Hungary, by "Rank Xerox" the Representation in Moscow, by "Bayer AG" company. My artworks adorn many private collections in Russia and abroad: in the USA, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Italy, Turkey, France and other countries as well as the office of the first Russian President Boris Yelzin. All I am searching for now is a reputable company or capable individual that will help establish a medium of customer service/relations in United States and Canada. I will like you to look up my webpage http://www.artrussia.ru/artists/artist_s.php? id=421&foa=f to view some of my listed works which will put you in a very right shape and get you more conversant with my work. Most of my transaction and sales are done on phone to ensure the best customer care/relations and I will be referring my North American customers to you and they will send Payment to you first before the onward shipment of artwork to the customers.
Most of my customers in the United States and Canada usually get to see my artwork from the online Russian Arts Adverts and many other referrals from satisfied collectors. I intend to place as many adverts as possible in USA and Canada both online and print adverts. My Clients will be instructed to issue out the Check payments in your name and you get them cashed in your bank, deduct your 10% of the initial capital and forward the balance to my Gallery in our office by Western Union/Money gram money transfer. So all I need from you is your willingness to handle payments and North American sales and forward your information to my clients in the States or Canada and they will contact you before they issue payment in form of money order or cheques then send it via courier or mail to you and in case whereby the customer comes from you will get 10% of sales. I am aware that you would be charged to have the money sent, the extra charges you might incur to be deducted from the balance of the funds after you must have deducted your salary. Please if you are interested forward the following info:
 
1.) Full Names
2.) Home/Cell Phone number
3.) Full Home Address, City, State and Zip Code.
4.) GENDER
5.) MARITAL STATUS
6.) AGE
7.) NATIONALITY
8.) Email Address
 
NB: ALL REPLIES SHOULD GO TO justicelove4real@gmail.com ONLY SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ALONE WILL BE ATTENDED TO.
 
 
Warmest Regards,

John Mendles
