Wherever I see organise payment by Western Union I think of the Shipping Payment scam. This is where an individual tries to order goods from a company agreeing to pay by credit card (Stolen). He agrees to pay all expenses on this card, however he wishes his shipping company (this is a non existing shipping company very closely named to a large shipping Company) to be paid by yourself (company). The payment is to be with a Western Union Cheque and sent to the sucker who has applied for the above job. It is then his responsibilty to pay into the organisations bank account the shipping cost less his 10%. By the time you realise the scam as a result of bounced credit card you have lost the chance of chasing the Western Union Cheque.
The sucker taking these cheques no doubt would eventually have a lot of questions to answer, but I'm sure that the end reciever of the monies would be untracable. Jeff Goodwin

I received a variation of this e-mail today with a different name at the bottom. An attempt had been made to disguise the origin of the message in the headers. However, one of the pathways shown in the headers ended in .bg, which is of course Bulgaria, hardly likely to be used by a Swiss-based firm. Add to that some strange turns of phrase definitely not produced by a native speaker of English, despite the Anglo-Saxon name at the bottom, and the alleged address of the firm putting street, then country, then town, and you have an odour of very mature fish of a species I've never smelt in Switzerland!

I get this one several times a week. The latest is from sioszr@grungecafe.com.
While I hate scams, I hate stupid scammers more than anything.

I get these emails daily and I'm so tired of it. There's always a different name signed at the end. I decided to look it up and found this site. Is there a way to report them or have this closed down?
