We received a note:
"I am a contractor and received email from a Reverand Smith about purchasing products and shipping them overseas. He will pay with credit card before they are shipped. when i responded with price quote i received a similiar email from a different reverand jones wanting a different product."

Watch out for another job scam that claims to be from FELICITY INTERTRADE CO., INC.

Anyway, we cannot find this company on the web. There is a Felicity Inc. and an Intertrade Corporated. The scammer simply added the 2 together and came up with a new company name. Unfortunately we do not have the email header and we are unsure who the sender is.

The giveaway in this offer is this:

"All I need is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and transparent individual in the United States who will work as my representative and assist me in processing payments from my customers and I am willing to pay you 10% for each payment received and processed on behalf of my company hence, you are likely to receive payments periodically from my customers based on weekly/monthly sales. As such, you are to handle any of my customers who prefers the above mentioned method of payment, and hence you are to cash any check or money order received, then deduct 10% from the total sum as your workmanship and send the balance to me (All transfer charges would be deducted from the total amount you are to send to me)."
