Now we have Artist Scammers

This is my first one from an "artist"

A new twist on an old theme:

I hope this email meets you in good health. I feel quite safe dealing with you in this mutual beneficial transaction. Though, this medium Internet has been reatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest way to get in touch with people.

I am Dr.Henry Martins and am an artist, I am 40 years old and paint for a living, and have been painting for the past 18 years. I am married with a wife and lovely kids. I have a vacancy opening available in my studio. I am just setting up in the USA and will need a Representative to work on a part time basis for me.

I sell Arts all over the world and have sold to both galleries and private colle

ctors. I am always facing serious difficulties selling my art works to my

American clients; most times they offer to pay with either Money orders or checks which are difficult for me to cash here in United Kingdom. I need someone in the states to work as my representative and assist me in processing these payments and I will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction made.

First step in this job is for you to wait at home for checks sent by my clients via regular mail or FedEx to get to you. For this to be possible I need your basic personal info such as:

1. Full Name:

2. Full Contact Address {P.O BOXES ARE NOT ALLOWED}:

3. Occupation:

4. Phone Number:

5. Bank Name:

I will never ask you for anything more than that, bank account number, credit card, social security number etc.

If anyone asks for those on my behalf please do not give out this info. This is to ensure that you will not be the victim of identity theft. After you receive the checks you will have to go to the bank to cash them, this will happen of course after the bank clears them. The time it takes for the checks to clear depends on your bank, I need you to be trustworthy and honest with me for I am ready to employ you for 6 months until I am fully established.

If you are interested in working for me, please kindly send the needed information to my email: hmemploymenxxxxx@gmail.com I await your reply

Regards

Dr.Henry Martins

Watch out for this MOTHERFUCKER he almost got me with this crap!

The deal is that you get the money orders you go and cash them at your bank, but the bank won't cash right away, because it comes from a foreign bank and it takes like a or so to get the money,

In my case, the balance on my statement was available for the 3 money orders he sent me, BUT... they bounce, thats the trick, you get the money out and send the money to him via western union thinking that the money was really available, then the bank will call you with the news of the bouncing money orders and will tell you that you over withdraw money from your account (in my case approx $1,300), if you did sent the money already, then you are OFFICIALLY FUCKED! my friend, I had the good luck of not having a passport or my driving licennse at the moment of sending the money via western union so all i did was get the money back to bank.... phew...

Please excuse me for my bad englsh since is not my primary language.
