This job-ad spam is thin on actual details as to what the job involves, but it's undoubtedly some kind of money mule scam. Judging by the modus operandi, I'd guess it's West African, and thus involves cashing fraudulent cheques or money orders. I don't know whether or not there is a real company called "Tim Interior Design" -- this scammer has nothing to do with them if such a company exists.
