This is a straightforward money mule job. Money stolen from compromised bank accounts is transferred into the mule's account, and the mule is asked to withdraw it and forward it (minus a cut) via Western Union or similar. I've redacted part of the contact email address in the body of this spam because the scammers operate the entire domain, and are consequently able to use any address in that domain.

The Rock Holdings

I have to give this scammer points for creativity. He's called himself "The Rock Holdings Ltd", which is a credible sort of name, and he's provided an email address using the domain @ rock.com. A quick check shows that anyone can sign up for a rock.com email address, but it looks persuasive at first glance. This is a money mule scam which involves receiving stolen money or fraudulent cheques and forwarding cash (minus your cut) via Western Union or similar. The source IP address was 41.219.195.50, which WHOIS reports as belonging to an ISP dial-up pool in Lagos, Nigeria.

Xenex Navigation (xenex-inc.us)

This particular job scam has references to three completely independent domains using the name "Xenex", none of which are involved in the scam. The real scammer is behind the fourth domain -- " xenex-inc.us" -- the one used in the email address. The domain is remarkably old -- for a scam, that is -- having been registered in August 2007. The writing has a distinctly Nigerian flavour to it, but the message headers indicate that it was posted through a webmail service from a computer with IP address 198.172.207.93, which WHOIS describes as belonging to an ISP called "GBU Internet, LLC" in Wilmington, DE, USA.

Beyond that, there's not a lot to say about this scam: it's a typical transaction processing money mule scam.

Canadian Cruise Line International

Those crazy Malaysian scammers are still pretending to be Canadian Cruise Ship companies. If you apply for this job, they'll gladly tell you that they are interested in hiring you, but there are certain fees you need to pay up front. There is no job, no ship, and no company -- it's all just a whopping big lie they tell so that people will send them money.

EZ Transfer

Money mule scams show no particular signs of abating in 2008. As the year ticked over, I received three copies of this particular spam, using various Gmail contact addresses, all having the form <name>.ez.transfer@ gmail.com. They don't specify how payments are to be received: I'd guess that it's via (forged) cheques, but it could be PayPal or bank transfer. It's a safe bet that they want money forwarded via Western Union or similar.
