Dr Dove Smith

Odd. I don't remember applying for a job with a scammer who calls himself "Dr Dove Smith". Maybe he used some other name earlier. Or maybe he's just skipping the whole "would you like to apply for a job" bit, and hoping that people will jump at this opportunity for a job. Given that he wants to send me a check, I suspect that he's into check forgery. There's an outside chance that he's setting up a reshipper scam, though. Either way, it's a scam.

MFC/EMDS

Scammers change names a lot because their scams are discovered fairly rapidly. This one seems to be using several names simultaneously, which is sloppy of them. The spam, copied below, uses the name "MFC LTD", without specifying what the "MFC" is supposed to stand for. "Mail Forwarding Company", maybe? The website at www.mailassistance.net seems to prefer "Executive Mail Drop Services" (EMDS).

I call it a reshipper scam. These guys want to purchase things (usually laptops and such like) using stolen credit card details, and they want the merchants to ship locally so that they don't get too suspicious. The local reshippers then forward the goods overseas. The merchants eventually figure out that they've been robbed, and may pay the unsuspecting reshipper a visit, hoping to get their goods back.

You really don't want to be in this line of work. The amount of time you will spend trying to persuade the police that you are innocent isn't worth it. They'll probably take all the money you get paid as compensation for the merchants that were robbed in any case.

From time to time, people look for a better job with more favorable conditions. We remember already from childhood:  "All
kind of work is good. It is up to you to choose..." That is the point: if you want to get a job which fits your needs
well, you need to approach the search very thoroughly

Work, undoubtedly, ennobles personality. But reality is different: what person manages to do is to work and only work
(sometimes without any clue about career).
Alarm is ringing. We wake up, dress up. And, fortunately have time to eat a breakfast, and then we rush to work.

Look, it is already evening outside and you did not have a minute to call your beloved person or a child because every now
and then you are under your manager's eye, they can always find additional work for you. And, at last... cherished minutes
of your working day. But, of course you will have to stay with extra work for an hour or two, work cannot wait. Late night
we come home, without any will to socialize, do something at home. You have will only to crawl to your bed, quickly go
through some channels on TV and, AT LAST, go to bed... Alarm is ringing. And it is over and over again...NO, SUCH JOB IS NOT
AFTER OUR HEARTS!

This spam is unimpressive. The grade of English is very poor, as is the attention to detail and overall design sense. Beyond that, it's just the usual money mule recruitment scam: the senders are looking for unwitting saps to launder money (or just be outright victims of theft themselves, perhaps).

Despite the lack of money-handling talk in this job offer, I'm prepared to bet that the applicants will be given money mule duties, receiving stolen funds via bank transfer and forwarding it internationally via Western Union or Money Gram. I note that several countries are mentioned, but the payment is expressed in Australian dollars. Are the other countries just a red herring?

I also note they have registered two domain names for this scam at this point in time: bntexpressint.md and bntexpressint.eu. The .md domain was created on 2008-07-13 (timezone not specified), and the .eu domain was created on 2008-07-16 (timezone not specified). I won't bother checking creation times on any future .md domains, however, since they don't have a functioning WHOIS server. Both domains are using nameservers ns1.moreccn.com and ns2.moreccn.com, the parent of which appears to have been registered for the nonce as a DNS-only domain.

Kanamo Plastics Co. Ltd

It's not clear whether there is a company matching the description in this spam. What is clear, however, is that it's fraudulent. This is cheque fraud: the scammer wants people to cash fraudulent cheques and forward the money internationally via Western Union or Money Gram. Such cheques clear for long enough to draw on them, but bounce later, potentially leaving the account overdrawn.
