(Part 2)
i've gotten this email for the second time this year. If you read on, you'll likely deduce what i've deduced... it's an attempt to pull unsuspecting recipients into a money laundering scheme:

Subject: Receivables clerk - part-time position with a foreign asset management company
Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 23:05:15 +0000 (GMT)
The receivables clerk position is commission-based, and it will typically take up to 6 hours per week to complete your tasks. Your core responsibility will be to receive the funds from our US investors into your designated bank account, reconcile the payments with your supervisor as required and transfer specified funds into our managed investment accounts. You will be in charge of contacting your bank in order to obtain transfer status information, confirmations and account activity reports, as well as handling daily communications with your bank. You should be able to perform your duties during regular business hours.
You will receive a 2% flat-rate commission from the gross amount of each transfer that is remitted into your designated account (for instance, if $20,000 is credited into your account, you will be retaining a commission of $400). Your commission is available immediately, so there is no need to wait for the payroll check in the end of the month. You can expect to handle up to $100,000 per month at this position, generating pre-tax earnings of up to $2,000 per month.
From the tax aspect, you will be paying your income tax, either as an individual or as a business entity, calculated as a percentage of the commissions received for fulfilling your duties. It should be understood that it is your sole responsibility to report your incomes to the IRS. Being a foreign legal entity, ICRA is unable to withhold your income tax on your behalf.
You will be receiving the investment funds exclusively from our US clients via secure electronic Wire transfer used by major US banks for funds and securities settlement. This means that no funds will be deposited into your account unless the transaction is reviewed and confirmed by the remitting and recipient banks. Thus, there is no financial risk on your end. You will never be required to cash a check, make a remittance before the funds are cleared into your account or engage into any other financially risky activity.
In order to qualify for the position, you must be a permanent US resident aged 21 and above. It is recommended that you set up a separate bank account for the receivables service (a list of preferred banks is available). However, you may also use an existing account.
Since all communication with your supervisor will be handled via email/fax/phone, you should have full-time access to these facilities and be available for communication in regular business hours. It should also be underlined that business owners utilizing business bank accounts will be subject to higher receivables turnover, and thus, higher commissions.
You can submit your resume for this position at: http://icra-development.com/?id=ca
Please note that only candidates under serious consideration will be contacted. Please use the following vacancy code: ICRA0704. Per our privacy policy, your information will be kept confidential and will nit be used for any other solicitations.

Will someone please apprehend and prosecute this scumbag?
You must think people really stupid... I know I'm not THAT stupid.
Die you fraud! A long slow painful death... Bloodclot!
I know I'd never do business with a bank that asked me to send my PIN
over the internet.
