I was getting also exactly the same type of e-mail scam for about a year. It is good that someone made it available for public viewing as a warning.
It is heavy crime behind it.
Newspapers in Canada warned people also about it. They were more precise in uncovering what is actually behind this and how those scammers making money from people who believe them.
That is what is missing in this post and I'll explain it.
Scheme is the following:
Most of those scammers are from Nigeria and UK. When someone naively accept the fake offer, they send a check to that person asking to change it for cash through their personal bank account. They do not look to steal bank account number or something. Point is that the check is fake!
Bank usually accept the check and give the person the ammount writen on check, in cash.
Person who did the transaction then send this cash to the scammer, keeping 10% (or more) for "himself".
After some time (couple of days, or week) check is returned to the bank because is fake, and there's no money on that fake account.
Bank then is calling customer who did the transaction. He/she have to paid-back cash which is received from the bank.
Since cash is already sent to the scammer, customer have to pay the money from their pocket, including "provision" (if they did not spend it in the meantime).
It is very simple and very spoiled system!
