Thanks to M from Australia for providing this one -- I haven't seen it in my spam traps yet. This is a typical money mule scam targeting Australians and New Zealanders. These are almost invariably payment processing jobs where the "employers" want people to accept direct bank transfers and then forward money via Western Union. The incoming transfers are fraudulent -- the money is taken from online accounts that have been phished. If you receive such a transfer, don't withdraw the money, but notify your bank immediately that the transaction is suspicious. They'll send the money back to its rightful owner.
There are probably other domain names than the following -- this is the only one I know of at the time of posting.

This is a money mule scam with spectacularly mangled English, and worth reading for entertainment value alone. Need I mention that it is NOT from the company it claims to be (assuming such a company even exists)?

I've been a slacker when it comes to reporting new scams of late. I first saw this one at least a week ago, but other sites are doing a fine job of keeping tabs on it. The short story is that it's the usual money mule scam. For the long, long story, see Bob Bear's description. If you're already involved, don't send these scammers any money, and if they deposit money into your account, notify your bank that the transaction is suspicious.
