    And in comes the one post, just joined 'I think it's a good' post from someone probably connected with this 'organisation'. A little late to join the party - but hey, it's the clincher for me. WHOOP WHOOP **SCAM ALERT**
  • Like other folk I've just received a similar email from "Richard Green" using a Yahoo mail address and decided to check it out. Lots of alarm bells on this site but the clinch was when I went to the nearex.com website - "Account suspended" - speaks volumes.
    Just off to get my barge pole...

  • Hmm - joker alert?

    Richard Greene (with an 'e') played Robin Hood in a TV series long, long ago..... ;)
  • Of coure it's a scam - The 'payments' you receive will be in the form of a cheque you pay into your bank account. You'll be asked to keep 10% for yourself, and forward on the rest via W-e-s-t-e-r-n U-n-i-o-n to some person you've never heard of before. So you pay the cheque into your account, and a couple of days later it appears in your bank account. As the cheque appears to have 'cleared', you withdraw the money and send it via WU. Then, a few days or even weeks later, your bank tells you the cheque was fake/stolen, and deducts the money from your account, leaving you out of pocket.
