Cool Is this a scam email?

Hi,I receive this email recently,I would like to find out weather it could be a scam,before I go any further,can anyone help thanks.This is the emails:

COTTON world wide.

orders,cheque or bank wire transfers) from our clients in the USA and
then send the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money
transfer.This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.
HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
10% from each operation! For instance: you receive 3,000 to 7000 dollar
via cheques or money orders on our behalf. You will cash the money and
keep 700 dollar (10% from 7000 dollars) for yourself! And the
beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later it will
increase up to 12%!
ADVANTAGES
You dont have to go out because you will work as an independent
contractor right from your home office. Your job is absolutely legal.

Found two Textile Corporation letters in "Employment Scam Letter Archives." Junior member, Exotica 59405, posted the exact same e-scam on 6-19-07. To find it, click on "Search" tab in the menu bar at the top of the home-page screen. Open "Advanced Search." Once the page appears, type Textile Corporation into the search bar then scroll down and click on "Search Now." This takes you to the two links I mentioned.

See Website Tips in General Scam & Spam Discussions to learn how to use this website's many features. Also, I suggest reading How Nigerian 419 Syndicates Operate in 419legal's Information and Education section, plus Be Aware & Beware in the General Scam & Spam Discussions forum. The more you know, the more you can protect yourself against scammers.

To pavishpurohit:

Missed your question because it was posted as a "Reply" rather than a "Thread." It was hard to spot, so it went unread. United Nations Awared Dept. is an e-scam. Found an example letter posted by Jen529 under Lottery Scam Letter Archives. To check it out yourself, type company name into 419legal's search engine then click on "Go." A "Search" tab is located in the menu bar at the top of each screen page. Open the link that appears.

To get the most from 419legal, scroll down the home-page to General Scam & Spam Discussions. Click on this link then open Website Tips.

Lightbulb Access Insurance Company

I rec'd this email from a woman in the netherlands who claims that she is dying and wants to make me her beneficiary of a security amounting in the sum of $12.5 million USD.

YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE

Please let this not sound strange to you. I am Mrs. Joan Ken from Netherlands, I am 64 years old I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain, according to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I was brought up from motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child, died in a fatal motor accident.

I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $12.5million dollars with a Security Company. Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home where I come from.

I want you use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows; I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you soon.

Calavary Love,
Mrs. Joan Ken

after my response to her she replied,

Dear Beloved Contact The Security Company,

greetings to you in the name of the almighty,first of all i want to thank you for your very swift response to my e mail, and i can not tell you how much pleased just for the fact that you have volunteered to help with this transfer of funds from the security company and then into your nominated bank account.Well i have to be very sincere with you and i hope that you find it within you also to be very sincere and upfront with me during the course of this whole process.
I am seriously counting on you to ensure that at the end of a sucessful and hitchfree transfer of these funds into your bank account, you would be steadfast enough to rebuke any temptation of failing to keep your side of the bargain by disbursing the 80 percent set aside for these victims of natural disasters all what i have earmarked for them.In order words i would dread to think of a situation wherby the money is remmited into your bank account and then you will turn around and decide not to spend the money judiciously as i have stipulated.

This proceedure is pretty straight forward, but before we proceed even further ,i would like you to pledge your full commitment to this project, and also your unalloyed support throughout the course of this transfer. In the event that you decide to adhere to these conditions, please endevoure to make speedy contact , then i will furnish you with the contact details of an accredited firm. luckily the insurance company happens to have done some commendable work for my late husband in the past , iam very positve they can secure all the necessary documentations and paper work to ensure that you are the legal and official beneficiary of the funds.

The time frame for securing all the required documents in my opinion should not take more than a couple of days, so if you search your heart throughly and you are very much convencied that you can handle this transaction and also know that you will be very straight forward, then i will suggest you get back in touch as soon as possible so that i will immediately forward to you their telephone, email address and other vital information.

Please ensure that you are very polite with the firm when you finally make contact requesting to represent me in making this transfer legitimate, and also state to them that it is a matter of urgency and that as a result you would appreciate if he could secure all the necessary all that is neccessary for transfering the funds deposited by me ,stating and informing them that you are the beneficiary of the said funds.

Once this is done the security company will then contact you ,to enquire from you what exactly you intend to do with the funds , you will then inform them of you wish to have the funds wire transferred into the bank account of your choice. this is the informations you are to forward to the security coampany so they will know a you are the on i nominated to be my next of kin below:

Obviously at this point you would think this would stop him but after at least 15-20 calls from him from different locations, I should guess that this so call Reverand is indeed a scamming specialist from Nigeria and should be stopped. How can I get the word out about him and what he is doing.

Wink to protect yourself

if you find it useful to protect yourself from some of these email scams get a free account at either 9Y Secure Email Service - you@9y.com Short Address with Email Encryption or Hushmail - Free Email with Privacy

you must activate these free email accounts at least once every 3 weeks. however,if you receive email there they have a 'built in' detector of phony emails from whether the headers match or the return route matches the forward router in the computer. it "picks up" scam emails at once and alerts you of that when you open the email in question.. best of all it is free
