Scam!!!

Having been job hunting for a while i have just received this email, obviously a scam, anyone else had anything like this?

Our services
When buying-selling operations via the Internet are concerned, the buyer and the seller don't know each other (they may be placed in different corners of the world) - it is very important both to the buyer and the seller for their deal to be made safe. Payment Protection means receiving money, documents, goods (it might be both the seller's and the buyer's) concerning the transaction to a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Payment Protection agent. The agent will hold all the documents and money until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver.
Why we need Payment Protection agents
Having a Payment Protection agent in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.
As a front line Payment Protection agents, you will be responsible for connecting different countries financial markets by acting on behalf of our customers. All you need is bank account, good communication, internet access and desire to work as a big team. If you work and/or have any relations with bank management that will help increase the transaction processing speed, you will definitely get an unlimited potential of getting the most from our program.
Our customers will send payment for our work to your account.
We are offering you 5% as your bonuses of all money that came to your account.
Another part you need to send to a recipient we will designate using Western Union.
Here is example of work process:
1)We have order from our customer.
2)We complete customer's order and customer received his order (service).
3)You will receive funds on your bank account that come from the sale of the merchandise by our international clients.
4)We will supply you with a detailed information about a transfer including full name of the sender and sum total in every given case.
5)When funds come to your bank account you have to transfer the funds to our client using international western union payment system. The main advantage of such service is the shortest time in which the seller can receive funds for the sold merchandise. If you delay this process, our client will be able to cancel the contract and we will suffer financial losses. Please remember that you are handling money, be very responsible and attentive! Your compensation will be also deducted from the received funds on the commission basis. During the trial period you will be paid 1500 GBP + 5% commission from every payment received per month.
After the trial period your base salary will go up to 2000 GBP per month, plus 5% commission (11% for financial agents with corporate bank account).
6)You count all fees and send us email with it (Microsoft Word Document Only) after you sent us each transfer.
Usual amount is GBP 600-5000.
So for our work you need to have bank account.
The main objective of our company is to provide opportunities for career building to people with little or no previous backgrounds. You don't need any experience in Financial or Banking services. More than that, we provide excellent training to help you further develop your banking knowledge and skills.

Next step is to answer next simple question:
1)Do You have bank account?
2)What type of account do you have (Personal, Business, Corporate)?
3)Please specify name of bank.
4)Your daily withdrawals limit over the bank.
5)Your daily withdrawals limit over ATM.


Do these people think we're stupid? What gets me though is the fact that i have only applied to reputable companies and agencies, so how on earth have they got hold of my details?
