HIMAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

10 G F 36 44 NATHAN RD

Victoria City

Hong Kong

Registration number: 3699677

VAT registration number: 832 6732

 

My name is David Simmons, a representatives from HIMAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED with the head quarter in hong Kong.

 

We recently expanding our sales to UK and holland becuase of the great innovation the company have gain across the world in the marketing of all sort of Electronic apppliances. We have been facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling our products to britain, interms of payment as majority of them offer payment with cheque payment, which is difficult for us to cash here in Hong kong.

 

We are presently working on setting up a branch in the UK for now and we are urgently in need of a representative in the United kingdom who will be working for us as a part time staff workers who will be working from home without affecting his/her present job if they have any at hand now and we will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction.

 

We are looking for an individual in the United Kingdom who will be working for us and we are willing to pay 10% for each & every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work, someone who will receive payments on our behalf, from my customers in Europe. These payments are in form of a cheque and it will be made payable to your name, so all you need do is cash the cheque, deduct your percentage and wire the rest back to me via western union or moneygram money transfer. I want you to know that you will not be investing any money from your pocket in this venture, you are to receive payments which will be sent by my customers to you via express mail.

 

If you can assist us with this transaction, I would like you to get back to me.

 

Awaiting your response and thanks.

 

Sincerely,

So go on then, talk me through the scam. If they send you a cheque and it clear in your bank, then how can they scam you?

 

As long as you have control, where is the catch?

 

Not that I ever fall for this kind of shit as I always tell people to f*ck off when they offer me something for nothing!

To do what Maz!! I could understand if there was a dodgy bankers draft or they were asking you to send them a small amount in return for a fooking fortune.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Thick Wiganer!

cheque clears automatically, you send of 'their' portion, bogus cheque is then discovered by the bank (manually) and the money is reclaimed from your bank:(

 

:yeahthat: pretty much H! it would be a dodgy cheque they send, you cash it so legally its you that can get in trouble for it.. money through WU is not traceable really is it?

Surely the bank won't clear a dodgy cheque and if you wait long enough before you send your portion you are in the clear.

 

Not that I'd ever do it!:innocent: I don't want to be going over to Hong Kong to break somebody's legs!:sly:
