Look at the haphazard capitalisation in the name.
Even from that early stage it's obvious it's a scam.

Scam. Don't touch with a bargepole.

If you're not convinced, that address apears to be Europa Industrial Supplies Ltd

Phone them and ask: 01482 338435

Might be a good idea to let them know about it anyway.

It's money laundering, or just conning you out of money, you honesty read a random email about a "job" and thought it was real?

[dandit]

[Rookie]

Classic 'we'll give you loads, then you give us most of it back.

And then they bounce the cheque so you're out £7k.

[craigie b]

If it looks like shit and smells like shit......

[iooi]

Seems you are not alone

Check companies house when its open for online checks.

Be a money laundering scam.

Walk away now.

I got this kind of offer and knew they were at it,but I fancied a laugh and let them crack on.
Two weeks later the cheque arrived,so I took it to the bank and had it verified(it was also a draft)It was a real account.
Meanwhile they were hounding for the money transfer but I wouldn,t answer their e-mails.
One week later it bounced .(stolen)So I e-mailed them and told them it has cleared and instead of transfering it could they come round and collect CASH.
They responded by saying it was immposible for them to come to the Isle of Man but they would send their representative.
I told them I would be looking forward to meeting them with a few of my homies,a pair of pliers and soldering iron.
Funny, I never heard from them again.

Personally i'd forget about it.
Let the banks worry about stuff like this.
£ to a penny that they are not tracable via email and won't be based in the UK.

If you want a bit of fun let them send the Chq, but just don't cash them... Say they never reached you.

what about them cheque cashing places??? [/quote]

When It does bounce(even worse when It,s found out to be stolen)The legality falls back to you if it,s cashed.
So the company who honours the cheqhe will pursue the recipitent of any monies gained.
Therefore YOU would be pursued,blacklisted,county court judgment or worst case bankrupt if not paid back.
Meanwhile anyone who has fell for this scam and paid these guys are now to the authorities eyes liable.
