Peter: Scammers always want someone who can follow instructions; that's another clue. By the looks of the free email address, they want someone to print checks.

PhishBucket: Peter's getting really good at spotting stinky phish. He's been reporting bogus Craigslist jobs for a while now and his observations are always spot-on. The checks you'd be printing would be used in money transfer/mule scams. Are the funds real? Sometimes the names and account info are just stolen information that is slapped together, sometimes it's old but *real* account information that doesn't lead to funds. And sometimes the checks are printed using stolen names and account numbers and then sent to mules who cash them and wire transfer funds to the bad guys.

So the moral of the story is, do you want a job aiding and abetting criminals? Do you think the cops will be on your side when the shit hits the fan? We know a hairdresser whose GRANDMA was thrown in jail for this type of thing. Do you wanna end up like Grandma?
