I received this in my e-mail box earlier today. It definitely looks like a scam. I am wondering what kind of scam this one is and how it works.

Can anyone tell me what kind of scam this one would be and are they worth baiting? I haven't seen this one before.

My guess would be either an advanced fee or cheque scam.

I am thinking maybe cheque scam where the victim prints the fake cheques for the scammer.

Yeah, you're right, I should have read the requirements properly. Embarassed

The software is real. They are setting you up as a fall guy.

Anyone want to bait this scammer and possibly shut down some stolen bank accounts?

Post in surplus with full headers, and one of our quiet but very active check baiters will likely pick it up.
