You too can work from home for less than 10 hours a week and earn around $12000 a month, and while there are some jobs like this for politicians I doubt very much that Korean businesses will be sending them to me.
In related scam news, the latest one is that someone is that I have been declared dead and someone is trying to steal my million dollar inheritance fund. This scam e-mail contains the classic line Please, if you are dead or alive I want you to reply back immediately to avoid paying to the wrong account. Ignoring the bad English present throughout the e-mail which no self respecting legal company would use, its so tempting to send a reply back saying I am dead so go ahead and pay into his account.

Subject: Work @home with Lung Kin International KoreaDear Sir/Madam,
in this period of economic recession, would you like to work online from home and get paid weekly?
If yes, then you can work online from home and get paid weekly.
Our company, Lung Kin International Korea , would help you achieve this.
Lung Kin International Korea is a multi million dollar marketing company which has helped improved the economy
of countries around the world including, China,United States of America, Malysia, South Africa
with the exception of European countries for the past two decades.
We were able to achieve this by establishing and maintaining marketing relationships and
networks with companies around various continents of the world.
Unfortunately, the global economic recession affected some of our partners around the world
As such we need more marketers – preferably individuals.
Also, Lung Kin International Korea now has a need to expand its market impact into Europe
To achieve these two goals, we need capable and trusted hands to act
as the company’s representative/accounts keeper in the Europe.
At the moment, we are into supplies of Printers & Ink, PDA, Monitors, laptops,
Software, and Major exporters’ e.t.c. These we supply weekly to our clients all around the continents of the world
and now Europe. This is simple and can be taken as a part time job with no negative effect to your present job status.
Please also be informed that the average monthly income is about $12,000, and this job takes only 3-7 hours per week.
Further Rationale:
Ordinarily we would have loved to work with legal entities (companies) but the international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in
United Kingdom is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%. Therefore, working with companies in the United Kingdom
would yield our company lesser profit but working with private individual would pay us better. Hence our Multi Level Marketing Scheme!
We need agents to receive payment for our supplies in bank wire transfers and to resend the money to us via Western Union Money
Transfer in UK while the tax shall be 7% instead of 25% which will absolutely favor our company.
THE TASK:
1. Receive payment from our Clients particularly in the United Kingdom.
2. Deduct 10% which will be your commission on each payment processed.
3. Forward the balance after deduction of 10% commission to our offices outside the United Kingdom or any other offices
which shall be provided by you as soon as the fund becomes available.
YOUR INCOME:
10% from each transaction! For instance, where you receive $5000 via wire transfer on our behalf, you will cash the money
and keep $500 (10% from $5000) for yourself!
The 10% commission is just for a start. It is subject to upward review after a creditable performance.
Please be informed that this job is very tasking. We are searching only for honest and open – hearted Individuals who
would meet our standard. Also, the number of individual needed is limited and as such our company would not consider
any other application once we reach our limit.

Sir,
It’s very urgent you reply this mail promptly on or before 48hours because we have received an
application of claims from one Mr. Sumrall Christopher claiming to be the beneficiary of your inheritance
fund (US$6.2) Six Million Two Hundred thousand United States Dollars. He wants us to transfer your
inheritance fund into his account in United States.
Mr. Sumrall claimed that, you are involved in an Automobile Fatal Accident and you did not survive
the accident dated 1st of August that he is the new beneficiary of the fund . Please, if you are dead
or alive I want you to reply back immediately to avoid paying to the wrong account. We have cases
of diversion of fund that is why we decided to confirm from you first before transferring the fund into
his account.
We decided to accept the application of claim and Affidavit of Oath from Mr. Sumrall Christopher
because for over a long period you have not contacted us regarding your inheritance fund BUT
we decided to confirm first before transferring your inheritance fund into Mr. Sumrall Account next week.
If you are alive please, reply this mail on or before 48hrs from now so that we can stop the payment
of the inheritance fund into Sumrall ‘s Account in Denver, Co USA.

Treat this mail very urgent.
Mrs. Elizabeth Owen
Ignoring the Bad English, the fact I dont have a massive inheritance fund, and the lack of detail regarding which company this is from. There is also the logical fallacy that they just accept someone’s word that you are dead when they would presumably need a death certificate (which would have reference information on it). Fairly standard Phishing scam and an amusing e-mail given the bad English
