Is this a scam?

Why ain't google showing anything?

Because it's not the answer to everything.

Never respond to emails that aren't written in proper English and call you 'Dear', asking for your details, and telling you to take payments on their behalf. Seriously...

If you cash those cheques, you'll be done for bank fraud AND the bank will want the entire amount of the cheque back.

j.e.j.

Slightly off topic, but there's a book called: Delete This At Your Peril (the Bob Servant emails). The author (Neil Forsyth) has created this fictional person called Bob Servant, who responds to these dodgy email scams, pretending to be interested and leading them on.. Very funny, worth a read

I was reading carefully sure that I had missed the dead relative and nigerian link!

Hello Dears

No wonder the welfare bills are so high, when people like all of you are telling applicants to turn down good honest work.

Why would any reptuable company want to to hold cash for them? 10% is far more expensive than having a bank account.

Thank You

I am going to forward details onto gum tree.

Do you think the police would be interested?

No. They may well send a local cop round to nigeria, but its doubtful.

This happened to a friend of mine, she was daft enough to cash the cheques & forward the cash on. Her bank accounts are now frozen while the bank investigates her!

Yes, it's a scam. Just look at how it's written, let alone what they're asking of you. English is clearly not their first language, plus what reputable company needs to recruit via Gumtree, !!!!!!.
