Letter Source:  We did not receive the Full Headers for this string of correspondence, so we cannot give you a Source Report.  The most interesting thing about this email is that it is a form letter in its original form, before it was altered by other scammers who used it.  The reason I know this is because the susartworld letter is listed on several fraud-fighting web sites.  In some instances, the signature is Lind Kathy Smith.  The first scammer who changed the name to Kathy Smith was sloppy and left the first part of Linda in place.  The altered letter was then sent around to other scammers who have used it just as is, error and all. Remember this: the only way one can process payments for a company is to open a bank account in that company's name and deposit the checks there.  To open such an account, one must have the company's documents allowing such action, and the signature card must be signed by a company officer, NOT YOU.  All the checks must be made out to the company, and ONLY to the company.  To receive checks made out to you for the company's services or products is called Diversion of Funds, is a criminal act, and leaves you subject to charges of Money Laundering and Theft.  You are 100% legally liable for any funds you deposit into your account, whether they are wired into your account, deposited by you, or deposited by a 3rd party.  Many banks do not allow 3rd party deposits without your specific, written permission.  On the other hand, many banks do allow bank-to-bank wire transfers into your account without your specific permission, and you can disallow this by so instructing your bank. ____________________________________________________ Spot Scammers Fast!

Gooday Sir/ Madam, Urgent Reply!!!


My name is Linda Smith, I am an artist with my husband Mike Smith, and we are the owner of [LM&HOLDINGS] Art World INC.I live in London UntIed Kingdom, with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the love of my life my husband Mike Smith. It is definitely a full house.

I have been doing artwork since I was a small child. ! That gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer. I have been selling my art for the last 3 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines. I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all around the world.

I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, they are always offering to pay with MONEY ORDER OR CHECK, which is difficult for me to cash here in London United Kingdom.


I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me as a par time worker and I will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, which wouldn't affect your present state of work, someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the United States. I mean ! someone that is honest, responsible and reliable, cause the cost of co ming to the untied state and getting payments is very expensive, I am working on setting up a branch in the state, so for now I need a representative in the united state who will be handling the payment aspect.


All the payments are in MONEY ORDER OR CHECK and my customers will issue the MONEY ORDERS OR CHECK in your name and post the MONEY ORDER OR CHECK to your doorstep, so all you need do is to take the POSTAL MONEY ORDER'S OR CHECK to your bank and cash them, then deduct your 10% and wire the balance back to me. This business will not cost you any amount of money, my customers will send you the POSTAL MONEY ORDER'S through a courier company and the courier company will deliver the package to your doorstep, as soon as you receive the package from the courier company, just take the POSTAL MONEY ORDER'S OR CHECK to your bank and cash them.

If you are interested, all we need from you now to start up, this is your Trust and three details as stated below! :


(1) Your full name, which will be on the money order or check.

(2) Your address where our customers will send the Money order or check to for you to go and cash.

(3) Your cell or direct phone number for easy Communication.


Feel free to call my husband (Mike) on telephone number: + 447916240331 for further discussion if necessary.

Once more, we hope to receive the above requested Details as soon as possible to enable us forward them to our customers who are ready to make payments. I assure you that you will be happy working with us.


Thanks for your expected co-operation.


Yours truly,


LINDA and Mike Smith.
