Just recieved this email this AM. Is there somewhere to report these SCUMS? Is this what you call phishing?
Good day,
I'm Mr Peter Benitez and I own a company Based on Chinese and African
textile and fabric material in the United Kingdom,I'm in search for a
trustworthy representative in United States that can help as a
link between
me and my clients over there.I just reviewed your email through my
email
search I would like to know if your are interested to work from home
for us PB ARTS COMPANY LIMITED .
I Urgently need a representative in United States,work online from
home and get paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present
job?
My Company produces various clothing materials, batiks,assorted fabrics
and traditional costumes.We have clients we supply weekly in the
United States and my clients make payments for our supplies every week
in
form of checks which will take 45days to be credited here if it is
transferred here directly,so I need a honest and sincere individual in
the
United States to work as my representative and assist me in processing
the payments from our clients and I will pay him/her 10% per each
payment
recieved on my behalf,your likely to recieve 6 payments per
week,minimum of 4.
HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOUR EXPECTED TO TAKE CARE OFF
-----------------------------------------------------
Receive payments from my patronizing customers in United States on
my behalf i, then deduct 10% from the total funds received as your
workmanship and forward the balance to me Via Western Union Money
Transfer.(the transfer charges should also be deducted from the total
amount
your sending to me). Sheryl Shavers (my former representative has
moved to
Germany with her family) Our payments will be issued out in your name
and sent to your address.
So all I need is to forward your information to my numerous customers
in United States and I will contact you before they issue payment
to
you. Hope to get a favourable reply, if accepted to be my rep and get
back to me with the following informations in this format.

Roger, this is another take on a Nigerian scam. It is garbage and belongs in your spam folder.
Sad thing is, it'll only get worse.
I have received literally hundreds over the last 10 years or so.
I figure that it is a result of me leaving my email address on the web...on forums like this one etc. The little 'worms' crawl thru the net and find those addresses and bingo they got ya.
The only way to eliminate this garbage is to get a new email address (which I hate to do) and write out my address in a way that the worms can't detect it..for example:
roger 'at' emailserver 'dot' com
