Count me in as a recipient, how disapointing that there are people that are, "creative" enough to try to scam even in our industry ! Thanks everyone for the posts!

Thanks Tomekia and everyone for these helpful posts. I recently got an email from Roysupport.com that went as follows: -

" Hello & Good day,

A client of mine is interested in your virtual services to expedite salaries for jobs outsourced to contract staffs.


Let me know if you are interested.


Regards

My gut instincts were that it was a scam and after running some checks, my suspicions were confirmed. It certainly pays to do one's due diligence.



Thank goodness for Forums such as this one where we can post our experiences of such scammers and both warn and learn from others.

I was with you re wanting to play along and maybe catch this person. Had experience in one month where 2 others sent me cashier checks (over $3,000). Of course I was supposed to deposit these and immediately send cash somewhere -- contacted authorities but never heard anything back. Problem with those even worse than just money laundering -- they were no good but if someone was innocent enough to hurry to send money (they stressed importance of time) -- their money would be gone out of their account before even finding out the "cashier check" was no good.
