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.

Job scam quick guide: it's a scam if...
- they want you to collect and forward money in any way (a "money mule" job). You'll wind up engaged in money laundering, personally defrauded via expertly forged cheques, money orders, etc, or defrauding someone else who pays for goods that never arrive.
- they want you to receive packages and reship them somewhere else. The goods will have been obtained fraudulently, and they're just using you to make the shipping address appear local. You will be aiding fraud.
- they want up-front payment (either to them or someone else) of any sort for anything before you can get the job. This is advance fee fraud: there is no job -- it's just a big con to extract money from you.
- they want you to buy any kind of "membership" or "kit" in order to start. Forget it -- it's not a real job at all: they're trying to sell you something, and they're probably making a bunch of other false claims about it if they're pitching it as a "job".
- it's a job offer, and it's spam. There are LOTS of these scams about, as you can see.
