Dear admin,
You have received a new private message at ScamFraudAlert from entitled "Re:agricultural research institute of northern ireland".
This is the message that was sent:
***************
I unfortunately lost the original email for some time until I found it on the bottom of a message I had saved to my drafts folder some time after the fact. Had I not lost that original 'email' I would have checked them out and found your scam warning. I got taken for $2,700.00 my bank wants me to pay back... I sent the money overseas after having received counterfeit travelers cheques that are very good forgeries. The first batch came from Kentucky. I noticed the first letter on your web site was authored from a "cynthiana, KY". I latter received counterfeit checks from two cities in Georgia with almost consecutive serial numbers - this is when I started getting suspicious. Each envelope was addressed as having supposedly having been sent from different people, this is why I thought they were 'charitable donations'. The bank flagged me that the checks were counterfeit.
Below is a copy of the first letter I received. The date of the letter was the first week of May 07. Latter this week I will take what I have to the Secret Service I have already talked to them and the FBI about this. I came across another 'email newsflash' that Travelex or Interpayment Services LTD (bank checks are drawn on) as they are known and AAA have been noticing counterfeit travelers cheques appearing in several Western States since 2003. In 2003 AAA travel services stopped selling travelers checks at AAA locations, they also listed several serial number designations that the checks are known to have on them. The serial numbers I had matched ones in their list. The counterfeit checks have a denomination of $500.00 on them. I will look this the serial number listing for you and send this information to you. I have spoken to two of them several times on the phone however my phone summary does not show any record of any calls from the UK, they have a heavy English or British accent.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Donald Anderson. I just came about your email address through an email listing affiliated with the US Chamber of Commerce and I would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn a lot 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 multi talented 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 for ARINI (Agricultural research Institute of Northern Ireland) 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 regarding rare and vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon. However my funding were by my American and Canadian counterparts who send me the bunch of payments mostly in US and Canadian based money orders. Getting an accountant in the abroad 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 over there, 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 could be making up to $5000 just working with me in a short period of time within 1-2 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,
Donald Anderson
