Green Tree

This is a typical money mule scam, using a style that I have seen before but am presently too busy to hunt down to a specific entry in my archives. Performing money transfers for unknown parties -- especially those located overseas -- is never a good idea. There may be other domain names in use for this scam, similar to the one documented below. There may also be unrelated and perfectly legitimate businesses using the name "Green Tree" -- please do your own due diligence.
