I recieved some strikingly similar emails. Dear sir/madam. My name is Mike Mather. I am representing the interests of "Antea Hotel". We are working in tourism in Turkey. We found your resume on internet site. We are offering you to be our representative in USA. We do not have opportunity to get the regular mail in USA. In order to increase the prestige of our company we do need the representative in USA. Your work will be not time consuming. You have to: - get the post with correspondence (contracts and other bulletins) - sent the post to our address in Turkey - some envelopes have to be opened, scanned and send the information to our e-mail address This activity do not require additional investment. The number of envelopes is 20 per week. In the end of the month you will get the honorary of 500 US dollars. We will cover all your related to the activity expenses. We need your name (first and second) and your permanent address in USA back to our e-mail. We are looking forward for our further cooperation, Sincerely yours Mike Mather webmaster@anteahotel.net www.anteahotel.net I resonded to the email and then another email in resonse That read as follows- Greetings! Sorry for not answering right away. Thank you very much for your interest to my offer. In fact, I need help of a bit different character from you. My father owns a company Antea Hotel. His name is Lewis Blum. I am his son Julius Blum. I am 34, and I have been working in my father’s business for eight years by now. This year my company has became a dealer of «Mitsubishi Electric». I enclose an archivated certificate to this letter. We have made a deal for 1000 photo booths http://www.mitsubishialbum.com The total sum of our contract is 7000000 (seven million US dollars). One can say for sure that these photo booths are the future of digital photo printing. They are bright and compact in size and they are convenient for the ultimate customers. It is likely that soon such photo booths will be easily found by customers at every large department store. It is so convenient: the processing shall take not even one hour, and one can easily receive his coveted pictures in 10 by 15 cm format. The pictures, which are obtained by thermo-sublimation method, are water-proof and tear-resistant. You can receive Mitsubishi quality pictures (including large format ones) with bright colors and sharp images in just several seconds. Currently we have deals for 680 photo booths to be installed at various hotels in Turkey. The cost of one photo at the hotel is 2-3 USD. The prime-cost of one photo is 0,24 USD. This business is very profitable and is not yet well developed in our country (http://www.mitsubishialbum.com). Now I need a person who would be able to help me to get the money outside of the country. We have high tax rates on purchases and high tax rates on this particular type of activity. I would like you to help me with this deal. Here they check relatives in other countries and it would be impossible to hide this deal. The average tax from this deal is 1.4 million USD. I’ve viewed your resume and your history in the USA. You have high potential and I would not say that you are a mercenary person. I’d like to offer your 3% of the total sum of the deal, which is 210000 USD. This is very profitable for me. If you agree, it would not take much effort from you. I’d like you to be the Director General of the firm, which shall conclude the deal. The firm shall be in Latvia. You may ask why Latvia, and it can easily be explained. In the modern world the current practice includes purchase and registration of companies in various states. Latvia is one of the most attractive European countries in this respect. Its geographical and economical situation is unique and it makes registration and purchase of companies there very profitable. Latvia is a truly European state politically, economically and culturally. At the same time, due to its historical experience, it keeps close economical relations with the whole world. From May 1, 2004, Latvia has became a full-fledged Member State of the European Union. So, once we buy a company in Latvia, we become owners of a European enterprise, quite like any other enterprise in any other EU state, including the “old Europeâ€, such as Germany, Spain, Italy, etc. So, you can use all the benefits of the EU commercial activities conducted by a company, which is registered in the EU. The archive that I enclose includes the forms, which you have to fill in. The deal shall be done the following way. We shall transfer the money to the accounts of the firm, which we shall register in your name. Then you will transfer the money for purchase of the photo booths to the accounts of «Mitsubishi Electric». They shall supply the equipment, and then we shall close the firm. You shall receive your share right after the money comes to your account in Latvia. Perhaps, you shall need to go to Latvia to sign some documents, however, this is unlikely. It is quite possible that we can do it long-distance. Please, read all the documents, that I enclose in an archive, fill in the forms, and send them back to me. Also, if you agree, please, write to me what are your plans for this month, in case you urgently have to go to Latvia. I also would like to express my wish to you personally, that our deal stays anonimous. We do not need advertisement, nor do we need any problems. This is business. I am looking forward for your reply soon (as a matter of several days) and, please, give your phone number, so we could get in touch with you. With hopes for our fruitful cooperation, Julius Blum administrator@anteahotel.net http://www.anteahotel.net/juliusblum/certificate.gif http://www.anteahotel.net/juliusblum/konts_eng.pdf

Good post Awaken! This one looks like a slight variation on a 419 scam or maybe a money transfer scam. If you are not familiar with 419 you can search 419 scams on the net. Keep up the good work! |
