Is this a scam?

I received an email direct to my own email address and addressing me by name, (Ms ....), which would make sense as that is the title I entered on a profile with totaljobs.com last week.
The email reads:
The Company I represent is giving you a chance to earn more and get a stable monthly income.
Mind that we are not offering a sales position, and your main duty is processing payment orders from our customers.
A brief description is as follows. This is a part-time job and it will take you 2-3 hours a day on average. A full-time job can be offered after the training period.
We offer quite a high salary for short daily availability. It will amount up to 1,500 GBP a month plus percentage for every successful transaction.
If you would like to learn more, please contact me back with the questionnaire filled in at hr.rudywright@gmail.com. We will discuss terms of employment in detail.
It doesn't say anything about where the job is, ie city or town, or who it's with. (Text removed by MSE Forum Team)
Smart thing to do would be to ignore, right?

Payment scam, they will either send false payments to your account that appear to clear and then they will request you send them money less your commission, the payment will bounce shortly after you send the money.
Or they will be processing money from scams eg dodgy car sales over the internet etc and you send them the money on less your commission. The police / banks catch up with you after a while0 -
£1500 a month for 2-3 hours a day??
Seriously, you're asking?!
' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0
