This offer follows the traditional money transfer/mule scam language we're so familiar with. Only instead of blaming the cost of doing business or tax evasion as the reason they need your help, they blame the rules of the Better Busines Bureau.

Taking checks from a company you work for, cashing them in your personal bank account, and then wiring money to your employer, is just plain WRONG. No legitimate employer would ask an employee to use his or her own account to do company accounting. They also wouldn't impersonate a real company. We know this is a spoof because Alfa Romeo wouldn't ask their job candidates to reply to blumail.org when they obviously have a corporate presence of their own.

Do YOU want to be in the hole for up to $8000 when this all goes to shit?

My name is George Huffman and I am in-charge of the Alfa Romeo Motor's Human Resource department. Alfa Romeo is an Italian Motor Manufacturer and we have several customers in United States of America whom use our cars and presently, most of them require parts that can only be imported directly from Italy and we are unable to receive payments directly from USA due to our Italian Policies.

We receive series of e-mails requesting for parts from our car users, however we are unable to process their request because we are not able to receive US Checks / Money Orders. If we request them to send a Western Union Money Transfer, they will be going against the better business bureau rules because Western Union Money Transfer is based on Cash transactions and costs almost 8% of the amount sent for their sending fee's.

We require you to become our Accounts Receivable agent whom shall assist us towards receiving payments from our customers for required parts, once you receive their check payment, you shall be required to deposit the check and then deduct 10% of each payment received by you as your earning. You will be required to forward the remaining 90% to our Regional Manufacturing Processor via Western Union Money Transfer, if you are interested in this offer, kindly fill the form below:
