How can i tell if this is a scam http://www.adams.co.uk/?

Hello,

How do you do?

My name is Dr. Clive Drysdale, Group Finance Director, Adams Kids. I
just came about your email address online on the careercast website and I
would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in
which you could earn a lot.

This job would be based on contract and commission terms, it is a
part-time job and would involve quite a handful of trust and honesty. If you
would be interested in including a good-paying, part time job to your
daily list of activities and earning up to $4000.

As I have previously informed you, my name is Dr. Clive Drysdale , 40
years of age, 2 kids, a lovely girl and a troublesome boy, and the love
of my life, my wife. I am a somewhat multitalented man and I do quite a
lot of traveling and get to meet quite a lot of people who need my
services.

I reside in London, England and even though I have lived most of my
life in other parts of the world, I am fully residing in London even
though I get to do a lot of traveling though.

Being the Group Finance Director of Adams Kids, the Kids clothes
specialist. A company described with great history and strong believe on the
note ''children are the leaders of tomorrow'' , with examples of
clothing ranges and special offer which includes online employment
opportunities.

Over the years the Ambition of the company has gone beyond the making
of cloth and literarily extended to rendering helps and supports on
humanitarian services pretty much on orphanage homes and giving proper
education on child abuse, sex education and subsidized medication for good
health most especially in the developing world.

At Adams kids, we work hard to support the community. As a brand, we
aim to help improve the quality of life for children and their families.
This is demonstrated in our role as corporate sponsor for the Well
Child charity with money raised going towards helping sick children and
their families In the UK and fundraising for Our Lady's Hospital for Sick
Children, a charity supported by our stores In Eire.

Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a charity support
project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding Poverty
Alleviation , Provision of clothing materials to all kids in rural areas,
extending to the war zones of Africa and more counseling on the HIV AIDS
which is increasing at an alarming rate and provision of basic amenities
in support to humanitarian services to the third world nations and this
would be commencing very soon.

However, my funding were by my American counterparts which sent me the
bunch of payments mostly in US based money orders. Getting an
accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice
but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost
me time and a whole lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal
with as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime. I would be willing to
employ you on contract basis to be my Payment Representative back in
the states.

This way I could issue and make these Payments(Money Orders) out to
you, you could then cash them easily, deduct ten percent( 10%) of the
total amount on these money orders as your commission for the great service
you have rendered in support to saving life's in the third world and
then have the rest wired to Organization via Western Union Money
Transfer. The Western Union Service fee should also be deducted alongside your
10% service charge before having the rest wired via Western Union.

I would be glad if you accept my proposal and I intend to commence on
the project as soon as you are ready. If you are interested, please
email me back so we could make concluding arrangements.

Thank You and God Bless .

It certainly is a scam. This is a very common scam going around right now. They way it works it that they send you a fake money order, which you take to your bank, but the bank wont know that its fake untill they send it out, by that point you have already mailed the scammer the other 90%, then you bank will notify you that the money order was fake and deduct the full amount from your account. Also you could be facing legal issues even though you had no idea that the money order you deposited was fake. So again, I know for sure that this is a scam. Hopefully you have not responded yet to the email, and if you did then hopefully you did not disclose any personal information.

WHAOOOOOO WAY 2 MUCH WRITING!!!!!

as long as he doesnt ask you to front any of the money because the checks are stuck in the mail or whatever, it seems legit.

In the top right hand side of the page is a contact us link. It has their phone number. If they are interested in hiring you, it would be nice if you contacted them first.

This is a TOTAL SCAM! I get some kind of version of this in my e-mail on a weekly basis. Anytime someone says you can keep 10% for basically doing nothing is a scam. What they do is get someone else (who they've lied to) to send you the 100%. You get the 10% (maybe) after sending the crook their $ but the crook doesn't give the party who sent the $ anything in return. He fraudulently steals their $ and you are the payee! Which makes you a partner to the fraud! You or the authorities will not be able to find this person and you will be held responsible for the $ you "stole" from the parties who sent the $ in the 1st place! The other problem with this is the police will not do anything about these scams until a crime has actually been committed (not just an attempted fraud) and by then it is to late! Warn everyone you can about this type of thing!

I've received lots of emails like this.

As soon as I read the first line I always "DELETE" before it shows that the envelope has opened.

It's a SCAM.

Don't touch this even with a ten foot pole. Sounds like a money laundering deal that will end up costing you a bundle after you're arrested.
