So here is an interesting email I recevied the other day. At first glance I was just going to throw it away and then I realized that this was another version of the Foreign Payment Officer Scam - David Martins or Another Foreign Payment Officer Scam or Foreign Payment Officer Scam .

This one is a little more insidious since it was sent supposedly from a hit that was found on monster.com, a job site.

There are a couple of things that don't sit right with the message:
    1)   The email address that you are supposed to contact does not match the sender's domain.
    2)   Secondly the company is based in the Ukraine but the sending email domain is listed as an internet provider for the UK.
    3)   If this was truly a business that was making this much money, they would already have a solution in place.

Here is the full text of the email I received:

Subject: Dear Dave Moats New partnership offer for you from Monster.com

Good morning Dave Moats,

We've found your resume at monster.com and I hope we can do business with you.

My name is Viktor and I am a manager of Ukraine Software Development company Masters DB,

We have a lot of of orders from USA clients. But our USA customers offen prefer pay for our products service
via USA payment systems. For accepting Credit cards payment we already found partner with merchant account

But in the United states very popular payment system is Paypal. Paypal are working of more than 190 countries and regions.
You can check offical paypal website :
h__ps://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside

You can see that, paypal have separated country groups and Ukraine in country group which cant receive or withdraw
payments. At this moment we working with exchange company wich help us receive payment from paypal, but service
fee of each processed transfer 25% of processed amount. So we decide to find partner directly in United states
and minimize our transfer fees and speed up order processing time.

If you have verified paypal account with good experience and reputation we can start partnership

Your part of partnership:
Our client will pay to your paypal account, you will receive payments, withdraw payments,
then you will forward payment to our company via western union

Your salary will depend on amount of paypal transfers you'll get.
You will get 8% from each transaction.(you will keep out 8% from each transfer)
PayPal and western union fees will be covered by us.

Usually, there are 3-4 payments per week. Each payment is about $890-2500

So you will earn about $2500-$3800 per month.
(first month - trial period, amount of payments may be lower)

If you are interested or have any question please contact me at viktor.drozdov@hotmail.com

Best regards
Masters DB Software Development Company
