This message was sent to the admin of the ScamFraudAlert web site which has two Http web page warnings that show up when the name 'Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland' is type into Goggles search engine.

I unfortunely lost the original email 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 correctly remembered the name that they went under - ie Agri...... of Ireland, and I would have checked them out and found your scam worning. 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 patch came from Kentucky.

I noticed the first letter was authored from a "cynthiana, KY". I latter received counterfeit checks from two cities in Georga with almost consecutive serial numbers - this is when I started getting suspicious. Each envelope was addressed as having susposedly having been sent from different people, this is why I thought they were 'charitable donations'.
The bank flagged me that the checks were counterfeit. I 'copied & pasted' that first email and my response to them below. Wish there was a way to "spam" send this type of warning message to the general public at as many email addresses as can be reached. I noted the dates of the letters mine was either the last week of April 07 or the first week of May 07.

Latter this week I will take what I have including what you have on your web site 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.

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. And indeed there are more the one persons and they probably have more than one fake ID that are sitting in Nigera Africa to recieve the money. The reciever of any Western Union wire transfer cannot retrive it from any other location unless the sender 'redirects' where the transfer is to go.

Hello Donald,
Just recieved your email. How and why would you trust me to cash your money orders and send you the rest? Ya know I do live quite a ways away from you. But, I am an honest man. Are you? just how big or little are these checks and how many do you expect to recieve? I assume that they would come from your customers to me and then I wire transfer you after cashing them.

How come your customers can't wire transfer you funding?

How long do you need someone to do this?

Sorry it's taken so long to answer my email.

Regards and best to you,
Scott

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

Good tidings to you as you read. My name is Lloyd Skinner.I am a freelance researcher for Eastend Researches Inc. I would be very interested in offering you a job in which you can earn alot.I just resigned my job as a research scientist for (Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland )(ARINI) 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 can be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world.I just came about your email address and your brief profile so i decided to make contact with you.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?
Presently,I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa and the U.A.E. regarding rare and vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon, However the fundings are by my American counterparts that sent 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 in the united states, this way payments can issued out to you, you will then cash them easily, withdraw 10% of the total sum on these money orders/checks as your commission and then send the rest back to me through Western Union wire transfer. These payments are in Money Orders or Checks and they would be written out to you in your name and sent to you via courier, so all you need do is process the payments, then deduct your percentage and wire the rest back. 10% from each operation! For instance:

you receive 2000 US-D via checks or money orders on our behalf. You will cash the payments and keep 200 US-D (10% from USD2000) for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to 12%! You do not need any office because you will work as an independent contractor right from your home or office. Your job is absolutely legal(100%). You can earn up to USD monthly depending on time you will spend on this job. You do not need any capital to start.

This is absolutely legal, that's why you have to fill a contract! I would be glad if you accept my proposal and I intend to commence on this as soon as you are ready. If you are interested, email me back so we can make concluding
