Recently got an email from a company looking for help. Of course I dont who this company but they seemed legit until I got this..

Thank you for the interest to our offer!

Here is example of work process:
1)We have order from our customer.
2)We give him your paypal account (Only Paypal account name).
3)He transfer money to you and provide us amount of transfer.
4)You check it and confirm to us.
5)Then you take your comission and transfer the rest money to our worker.
6)You count all fees and send us email with it (Microsoft Word Document Only)
after you sent us each transfer.

Usual amount is $600-2000.

I'm unclear as to why you're needed to help this company out.

Sounds like money laundering to me...

err.....

Do you really need to ask the opinions of others to determine if that 'company' is legit???

Sounds like a money laundering scam to me as well... How do you feel about helping out some Latvians?

Why ask for "your thoughts?" on the "Paypal scam?" & then flip me off when I give them??

I probably should have included a smiley in the post. The only intended meaning was that the email sounds as dodgy as all hell to me, and I'll bet to you as well otherwise you would have gone for it. Sorry if you found it offensive.
