Part time job offer

A reader in the USA forwarded me this scam.  Clearly the writer has never been to the UK.  Be sensible here – nobody is really going to pay $4000 a month for just a few hours work to someone they don’t know.  This scammer is hoping to take money from you.

These scams usually work something like this.  The scammer sends you a “cheque” , tells you to deposit it and forwarded some of the money to someone else.  You do.  The original deposit is then withdrawn by the bank because it was made with a stolen cheque or card.  You are left out of pocket.  Ignore this scammer.
