Fraudulent Invitation?

Updates via email... Enter your email address:

I again received an email which told me to send my personal info to the sender if I am interested on his invitation.

My name is Christopher Rust. I just came about your email address through an online email listing and I would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn allot without quitting your present Job or having problem with your employers.

I am a man with 4 kids all boys and the love of my life, my wife. I am a some what multitalented man and I do quite a lot of traveling and get to meet quite a lot of people.

I just resigned my job as a research scientist but I still work as a freelance consultant for the institute which gives me very much time to do my own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world.

I reside in Ireland, Dublin even though I have lived most of my life in other parts of the world, I am fully residing in Ireland. Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa.

However my funding were by my American counterparts who send me the bunch of payments mostly in US based money orders. Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole lot of other requirements. I am not ready to deal with, as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime.

So presently, assuming you would be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be my payment representative back in the states, this way I could issue and make payments in form of Money Orders, Cashier’s Check, etc out to you, you could then cash them easily, withdraw 10% of the total amount on these payment instruments as your commission and then send the rest back to me through wire transfer.

Please, bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you a could be making up to $5000 just working with me in a short period of time within 2-3 weeks.

I would be glad if you accept my proposal and I intend to commence on starting as soon as you are ready. If you are interested, please email me back so we could make concluding arrangements.

Thank You

Christopher Rust

First, he said that he got my email through an email listing. Is it really true? I am thinking if I really used this email on any online application. But then I couldn’t think of the time that I posted this email on any of the forms online. My email that received this letter is my secret email that only Yahoo! knew it.

Second, he’s telling me that we’re dealing a huge amount of money in just a short period of time. With this, it is already obvious, that the business he’s offering me is just imaginary and/or fraudulent.

    I got the exact same letter from Christopher Rust. It looked suspicious, but I responded just to see what would happen. It took over a month, but he finally sent me a cashiers check for $4800.00 via Fed-Ex. He then wanted me to send 2 checks to Nigeria, and 1 to San Antonio, TX, all with Western Union, ASAP. I cashed the check but waited for my bank to give me the all clear. Sure enough, 6 days the check was returned. The bank said it was counteriet. My only loss was the bank charge for a returned check of $5.
    I hope through this web-site we can spread the word far and wide. Thanks for being there.
