Where is the "good English" part? Like all the other scams, I'd delete and ignore.

I love it when people tell you how much they are going to pay you for a job.

I found the following when research good ol' Ken Parm. So I sent him an email stating that I would do catalog work for no less than $10,000. Let's see if I can rattle his cage a bit!!!

Nigerian Scam Alerts Targeted at Translators/Interpretors
"Nigerian check" and similar scams have long been a problem for the unwary. In recent years, the scam has evolved to target interpreters and translators specifically. The basis scam works like this: A "potential client", sometimes an individual but recently also an "agency", sends a mass email asking about obtaining interpreting/translating services in the target's country. When they get a response, the "client" agrees to normal or even higher than normal fees and wants to make an advance payment for whatever reason. The target then receives a check or money order for the advance payment to deposit in the bank. Shortly thereafter, the client cancels the job and requests the money be refunded, which the uninformed target then does. But the check or money orders subsequently turn out to be forgeries or drawn on closed or non-existent accounts so the target's bank reverses the deposit and the target is out not only the deposit but any funds that he/she refunded to the client.

These scams are often characterized by:

•Poor English
•Gmail or other "anonymous" email accounts
•Higher than market rates offered
•A lack of verifiable contact data
•The use of a legitimate translation agency's contact data EXCEPT the email address

I agree. It is definitely cleaner than most scam emails, but it wouldn't receive an A+ in your average college English 101 class...
