Have you ever been asked your marital status on a job interview? In case you didn't know, it's against the law. Discriminatory and all that. Does this message strike you as legitimate? If so, please read through ALL our money transfer/mule scams, because we have had a lot to say about how these work over the years we've been reporting, and you'll find a ton of tips along the way.

Like in this offer, we'd point out a few red flags:

 -- The "employer" is looking for people outside his own country.
 -- He wants to pay you $4-5k per month for PART TIME work.
 -- He wants you (a complete stranger) to receive payments from his customers, cash them at YOUR bank and wire transfer all but a percentage.
 -- In addition to personal information you might not think twice about providing, he asks your marital status.

Say it with us...B-O-G-U-S!
