            Clearly a scam. Proper emails would ask you for:

            1. A copy of your 'international passport'
            2. Your personal and business telephone and FAX numbers.
            3. Bank account number for payment.
            4. $350 paid by Western union to de barrister for clearance of your fund.
            When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

              Your job will be to provide your bank account. You then transfer money that will appear in this acount to an account in Peru once a day.

              Eventually a policeman will come knocking on your door ask you to accompany him to the station.

                No, it's money laundering. They send to you via compromised paypal, you forward them on to additional accounts. I set up a spoof account to look into it further when I had an email like this, they pay you per 'transaction'.


                Edit - exactly what BB said above ^^^^^

                  So you're saying that (assuming you're not detected and apprehended by the police) you do actually gain money from this process?

                    I've got a better paying one:

                    Attention:

                    Three groups of companies instructed me to inform you of your first payment of £4,599 (GBP)by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Save Money. Live Better),the British Prime Minister Mr. David Cameron and the G-20 committee and I will keep on sending you £4,599 (GBP)until the payment of £499,399(GBP)is fully completed.
