Letter Source: The Full Headers are not available for this email, therefore we cannot generate a Source Report. However, I find it very strange that an artist with an English name, living in France, uses an email service located in Uruguay (.uy). Remember this: the only way one can process payments for a company or a person is to open a bank account in that company's or person's name and deposit the checks there. To open such an account, one must have the person or 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 person or company, and ONLY to the person or company. To receive checks made out to you for the someone else's services or products is called Diversion of Funds, is a criminal act, and leaves you subject to charges of Money Laundering and Theft. By law, you are 100% responsible and liable for anything and everything deposited into your account by you or a 3rd party. By law, you are 100% responsible and liable for any check or money order you indorse (sign on the back). Your signature is a legal and binding contract stating that you are assuming all responsibility for the check or money orders. Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), Article 4, § 4-212(b). ____________________________________________________ Find out where emails are REALLY coming from. |

Hello,
My name is Robert Will and I am an artist.I live in France. I
have been doing artwork 12years. 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 and out side France,they are always offering to pay with
a US POSTAL MONEY ORDER/CASHIERS CHECK and EU Draft ,which is difficult for
me to cash here in France.
I am looking for a representative in your country who will be working for
me as a partime worker and i will be willing to pay %10 for every
transaction,which wouldnt affect ur present state of work,someone who
would help me recieve payments from my customers i mean someone that is
responsible
and reliable,cause the cost traveling and getting payments is very expensive,i
am working on setting up a branch in the states,so for now i need a
representative
who will be handling the payment aspect.
These payments are in money order/cashiers check,and they would come to
you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order/cashiers check
deduct your percentage and wire the rest back.
It wouldnt cost u any amount,u are to receive payments which will be
sent to you by fedex or usps from my business patners,which would come in
form of a money order/cashiers check then u are to cash it and send the cash
to me via western union money transfer or moneygram money transfer,all transfer
fees should be deducted from the money.
If you are interested,please get back to me as soon as possible.
Regards
Robert Will.
