Where do we begin? Here we have yet another bogus charity alleging to be collecting donations from people in the US and Canada and need YOUR help, O Noble Stranger, to process the funds. we always want to bitch-slap people who use charities to rob others; how low can you get?

The first two sentences give this away as a scam due to the complete lack of professionalism. Who starts a job offer with "I hope this message meet you in good health condition"? Their grammar went awry in the very first sentence!

Look at the list of information they ask you for. Instead of asking if you're over a specific age, they just ask your age (discriminatory). They also ask your gender and nationality; again, discriminatory, and none of their damn business. The next two pieces of information they ask for are, of course, priceless: do you have a line of credit, and where do you do your banking? They want to know about your line of credit because they want to steal it if you have any, and they want to know which bank you deal with so they know what they're up against when they send you checks to start depositing.

Here's the thing. The checks they send are always fake, manufactured by other money mules who think they're printing payroll checks from home. If you have a line of credit, you'll deposit these bogus checks, withdraw all but percentage you're supposed to keep as a commission, and wire transfer the money to them. You might think you're too smart for all that and choose to wait for the money to clear your bank first, but the bank might make the funds available before they get word back that the checks bounced. You'll have to pay the bank back the money that you wired, which essentially just got stolen from you. Oh, and did we mention that the fake company will harrass and threaten you as soon as you start asking questions or having second thoughts?

Is that really what you were looking for in a job?

Hello Friend,

I hope this message meet you in good health condition.Before I go any
further,I would like to brief you more about the Program.Our Organization is
a foundation which enhances social sensitivity to children with various
problems faced by the less privileged and joining hands together in the
Developing world. We improve the competence of professionals working with
Children in diagnosis and Intervention in cases of children heart
problem.Every year, nearly 10 million children die before their fifth
birthday, and half of these deaths occur in Africa as has been proven by Our
research.

As the Program director, I am in charge of the life saving program and fund
raising for the less privileged, though myself and my life saving associates
travel a lot. Presently, we have just been granted a Trust fund to be used
for a Charity Support Project in the tropical regions of the World starting
with Africa, regarding surgical issues related to heart diseases and
provision of basic amenities in support to humanitarian services to The
Third World Nations and this would be commencing very soon.However, our
funding is by our worldwide donors some of whom are based in The US and
Canada who sends to us the bunch of payments mostly in US Based mode of
Payments(Checks drawn in US ba nks).

We would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be our Payment
Representative back in the United States/Canada, this way our donors could
issue and make these Payments out to you in your name, you could then cash
them easily, you will deduct 10% as your commission for the great service
you have rendered in support of saving lives in the third world and then
send the rest back to various charity homes that would be provided to you
when it is time.You will wire the processed funds via Western Union Money
Transfer/Money gram Money transfer.You also stand the chance of being a part
of our future and the excellence of an Institute in which you will be highly
