This spam originated from IP address 81.199.43.177, which WHOIS reports as delegated to Kas Telecom, Nigeria. It is a payment processing scam: the victim is sent checks or money orders and asked to cash them, forwarding 90% (or thereabouts) of the proceeds via Western Union (or similar). The checks are clever forgeries which the receiving bank will eventually detect and revoke, leaving the victim out of pocket.

Thank you for adversing people like myself. Doesn´t the internet have some kind of police for people like this?
I also received this and consulted about it with two girls but i wasn't sure....but pheew!!! good thing i found this site
Well I also received the Guang Dong job offer and knew right off that it was too good to be true. So I was thankful to find this site when I was trying to locate their website. Money laundering is a serious crime so don't get mixed up in all that....
anthonyacd says, thanks for the warnings. i just recieved the same email. lets keep exposing the leaches-parasites.
I received this email from them, it's a little different than the one you posted. thanks for your truly valuable information. i guess if it seems too good to be true, then it is.

Sent them the information and got this third e-mail:
Dear HGH ,
Thank your for returning the MOU signed.
We have a client ready to make payment.
His contact info his:
NAME ===== BRENT JONES
EMAIL ===== brentjonesbrokers@yahoo.ca
TEL ======== 1-647 - 831 4593
Please give him a call today and inquire when you will be receiving the first of his installments because he has ordered goods worth over $345,000 but has opted to pay installmentally.
I will await your response after you must have made affirmative contact with BRENT JONES.
Warmest Regards,
Hou Weijun.
Got in touch with Mr. Brent Jones and he suppose to send me a check for
$40,000.00 to cash and keep 25% for my commission and send the rest to
Mr. Hou.
How can we report this people?
Get the word out, finally it clicked that this does not seem right. He has changed him e-mail address to gm_guangdong@yahoo.cn
They need to be stopped, and I'm glad that this website is up to fix the problem. Please keep posting information on this website so they may be tracked!!!
Thnx for saving our time.
I also received this e-mail.
His contacts were changed again:
INFO@GUANGDONG.ORG (sending e-mail)
houweijunguangdong_corps10@yahoo.cn (contact e-mail)

Moscow, Russia
This scam has been going around for quite some time. I prefer to bait them for a bit and let them send me some checks. Laryngitis and throat cancer are good excuses for not giving a phone number, and the way I see it, sending their fake checks to the local FBI office along with the contact information is about the only way we are ever going to be able to do anything about these scammers.
This website is real:
http://www.gze.cn/hmpg_JMMQFNMQPNCME0.html
This one is fraud:
http://www.chinavista.com/business/500/20.html
They want your money!!
What makes you say that the second listing is fraudulent, Anonymous? I can't verify that the information contained on that page is true and correct, but it doesn't appear to be aiding fraud in any obvious way.
