Let's itemize the MANY problems with this offer, shall we?

    *  He starts by claiming he's in England. In researching the headers, we couldn't find anything proving that. The headers seem to point to the United States as the origin.
    *  He uses the name Charles Benson, which sounds pretty English. This is a common tactic of foreign money mule offers, which we believe this is.
    *  A Google search turned up Reliances Industries Limited and Reliance Textile Industries, but since this offer doesn't provide a Web site address, we think they're trying to make you believe they're one of those.
    *  Instead of making the claim that they can't cash US checks and money orders due to the inconvenience of foreign transactions, these guys actually claim their usual person is suffering an illness that warrants a replacement person.
    *  They spell out the usual (illegal) money mule responsibilities, which are to receive checks and money orders, cash them in your own bank account, keep a percentage and wire transfer the balance. This usually results in financial loss to those who go through with it.
    *  Their application form is just a summary list of the personal info they want from you, which includes your age, gender, marital status and nationality. It's discriminatory (and therefore illegal) for an employer to ask those questions.
    *  The contact number is European-looking, but can be easily spoofed thanks to VOIP (voice-over-IP) phone service.
    *  The sender email address and reply-to email addres are different.

Have we said enough?
