Hello

Good day to you, I was across your Ad on the internet posted that you are seeking for job, Well I manage my late father's company and we produce fabrics and textile and we also make supply to company in UK so presently we need a representative in UK that can be receving our payment, we supply some goods to some companies in and now they are willing to issue out our payment to us, but the problem is that we dont have a representative in UK.

This is the main reason why we want someone that will be a representative for the company in UK and also be someone that will go extra miles helping the industry in do some officail work as well.

 

The company is located in thailand : 996 RAMA 9 RD, BANGKAPI.

BANGKOK.

THAILAND.

ZIP CODE-2340 LK

Phone - +447031910562. I do come and receive the funds before but presently I am on relocation to West ASIA that's why we need a temporary/permanent representative in UK.

 

So all you need do is recieve our paycheck anytime we have one to pick up from these companies we supply to on behalf of our company, and you have the cheque deposited in your bank and after you must have recieved clearance from your bank.

You then take percentage from the funds and get the rest sent to the branch office we given to you by the company.

 

You will be paid according to your qualification and payment received by you. I need you to send me your resume and also a state ID if possible.this will be for security purpose.

i will want you to get back to me fast cause there is a pending payment we need to receive soon. you can get back to me true vai-mail- johnbali00@yahoo,com

n Address to the manager.

i will want you to make this a active process.i look forward in hearing from you as soon as possible.

Regards,

John

Mod Note: People, this is why we suggest people don't publicise their e-mail address on the public forum.

 

There's a link here for you: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_sf_web_proxy

 

It's quite clearly a scam, and I'm sure most of us have had something similar in the past.

 

No need to panic, maybe just consider changing your e-mail address and be more careful where you post it in future.

 

Closing.

If you post your e-mail address on a thread, it may get picked up by spambots.

 

This is why you see some people 'breaking up' email addresses as follows :

 

Joe -[@]- domain.com

 

or

 

Joe at domain.com

 

The email address you use to register on the site with is inaccessible to users of this site or to anyone outside the site.

 

You may want to consider, as Kristian suggests, having a 'sacrificial' email adderss that you use if you MUST put an email address on to any web site in it's entirety.
