Spelling errors, inconsistencies in company name, responsibilities include reconciliation/billing, targeting English-speaking countries...need we go on? Okay, how about the fact that their sites were registered just this month?

Bottom line: not only is it a money transfer/mule scam, but it's SPAM. It's the DEFINITION of spam. Bulk email with no opt-out. Just because they did a few things right, doesn't mean you should discount the things they did wrong!

Money transfer/mule scams will hurt you. Not only will you lose the money they give you to deposit, but you will lose it twice: first when you withdraw and wire transfer all but what they tell you to keep, and again when the bank reverses the transaction. What else will you lose? Access to your bank account if the bank thinks you're in on it. Your identity, when they sell it to all their scammy friends. The only thing you stand to GAIN in this picture is a criminal record, which is definitely not going to improve your job prospects.

Convinced now?
