Hello,
John Milo is a company that sells jewelry of all kind in London,and looking for a trustworthy representative that can help as a link between the company and my client.

We have clients we supply weekly in the United states and the Schengen states and my clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of
united states money orders, travelers check and Euro checks which are not readily cashable here in London United Kingdom,that is why we need someone or body to work as our representative and assist us in processing the
payments from our clients and we will pay him/her a weekly wage, by percentage.

The nature of the job is work online from home and getting paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present job. Receive payment from our clients and get it cashed,deduct your 10% and forward the balance to the company.

The main reason why the funds cannot be cashed down here is that it would take 20-30 days for a a US money order and Euro checks to pass through the bank here and that will slow production,export and sales. But a US money order presented to the bank in the US would clear tops within 48hrs.

The person that used to help me cash the money orders initially which was my former representative resigned after 8 years of service and moved to Mexico with his family.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed in your bank, deduct your 10% of the initial capital and forward the balance
to the company.

Kindly fill out your details on the form below for prompt processing and
you will be called for a telephone interview.

These would be fakes, or forgeries. If you deposit them into your account, they may allegedly "clear" (in other words, the bank will make the funds available for you to use) after a few days, when you will be expected to send a balance of the cash via Western Union.

Once the bank receives confirmation (this could take weeks or even months) that the MOs are fake, they will reverse the transaction in your account, and hold you liable for any money drawn against these funds. In addition, they may also press criminal charges against you for "passing a forged instrument".

It really isn't worth it. I would suggest that you take the MOs (together with the envelope and any accompanying correspondence) to your local police station and file a report - try not to handle the materials, and maybe place them carefully into a plastic bag, to try and preserve any forensic evidence that may be present. Additionally, if it arrived via the US postal system, contact your USPS office for investigation.
