Bookkeeper Work At Home Scam

I received the email listed below. It’s a variation of the notorious wire transfer/check cashing scam. But this scam is disguised as a legitimate work from home job offer. Basically you’re asked to be a bookkeeper "middleman" for an offshore company that needs to get money here in the U.S. on behalf of their clients. Whatever! At the end of the day, this is just another real work at home scam to be avoided. So be on the look out for it and variations of it that may arrive in your email box.

Don’t send these guys any information!
