VSO - Fake Job (Money Mule Scam)

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

Hello,

How do you do?

My name is Robert Penn, Recruiting executive for VSO and i would be very
interested in giving you a part-time paying job in which you could earn as much
as $3000 in a month in your country. This project has been developed in a way
not to affect your present job nor bring you any form of stress but in order to
help take care of those extra costs in the area of Financial Independence, and
also empower you by providing the keys to controlling your income and quality in
life.

VSO is an international development organization that offers support in
developing countries on a structural basis. Our mission is a world without
poverty. A world in which people work together to achieve their development
potential. Our most important weapon in the fight against poverty is passing on
expertise.
In every country, VSO's activities are shaped by a strategic plan which focuses
on two or three development objectives. We work with local partner organizations
to develop programmes to achieve these goals by various strategies. These
include exchanges, funds, workshops and the placement of VSO volunteers.

Presently, we have just been given a go ahead to head a charity support project
in the tropical regions of East Africa regarding Poverty Alleviation which would
commence very soon. However, our funding were by our Australian, Canadians, and
American counterparts which sent me the bunch of payments mostly in US and
Canadian based money orders and checks Getting an accountant in the states and
in Canada or opening an account would have been my best choice but we have a
deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole
lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal with as I would be traveling a
lot. So presently, I would be willing to accept your application on contract
basis to be our Payment Rep.

This way I could issue and make these payments out to you, then cash them
easily, deduct ten percent (10%) of the total amount on these money orders as
your commission for the great service you have rendered in support to saving
life's in the third world and then have the rest wired to me (or directly to my
accountants involved in this project via Western Union Money Transfer. I want
you to read the details of this job and then get back to me by emailing me on if
you are interested and I will provide you with more information and make
concluding arrangements after which I will provide you details and information
on when the job will commence.

I have attached an employment form in this email which you could fully fill on
your computer and send back as an attachment, just so I know who and where I
would be sending my payments out to. Do provide the address where you will be
able to sign for the collection of the payment


Thank You
