I can only get your reply through my email address stated below,We produce and supply Art work,Textile and electronics to clients in and out of london. Having our business expanded to the untied states has been our primary goal for a long time and we have come to realise that the only way we can set this up without having offices in the united states is having subsidiaries like yourself who would help us in accepting and sending of payments from our numerous clients to us here in london. (joboffer4u_goodpay@yahoo.com) Our terms of liecense do not enable us to run business overseas accounts we would have to apply and pay more to run such accounts hence since our goal is cost reduction it has ben decided that the least costliest way of getting our payments within america is to have clients such as you who can set up bank accounts for us preferably with bank of america or wells fargo bank because most of our clients in america operate accounts in this bank to enable our clients make payments into the account you would set up for us hence you can withdraw it, earn 10% of the payments or get a monthly salary of about $26,530 which can be advanced after 3 transactions in the first month and have our cash wired to our accountants.we also recieve check payment and money orders,e.t.c THis form of job can be done part time and from your home since it doesnt require much affort on your part as long as there is promptness and afficiency on your side!

Esto es un claro ejemplo de Estafa Nigeriana, aunque algo disimulado. ¿Ahora, que es la estafa nigeriana? Para los que no quieran leer el artículo de Wikipedia al que linkee, explico brevemente: es una modalidad delictiva que se origina en Nigeria, consistente en embaucar a una persona a enviar dinero por adelantado a un país africano, con la esperanza de poder sacar mucho mas. También se la conoce como Estafa 419, por el número del artículo del código penal nigeriano que pena la estafa. Hay muchas variantes (el funcionario corrupto que quiere sacar fondos, el heredero que necesita escapar del país, el que te dice que ganaste la lotería, y hasta me llegó uno de una persona que decía ser viuda de un funcionario del dictador de Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe), todas con el propósito de sacarle guita a los desprevenidos.
Estas estafas dieron nacimiento al jueguito del Scam Baiting: gente que se hace pasar por víctimas y responde los mensajes, pero que en realidad solo estan haciendole perder el tiempo al estafador.
