Hello my fellow Lion XXX XXX (I've removed the name, since this scammer actually personalized it for the person it was sent to)
My name is Lion Richard Snowdon, President Lions club of Allendale,Club number:77736; District: 105NE. I am the Marketing officer for ALTRO PUNTO COMPANY LIMITED. I want to employ you as our agent if you're still looking for job. We have been selling our products for the past few years and we're lately facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling our products to Americans because they are always offering to pay with U.S MONEY ORDER/CHECKS, which is difficult for us to cash here. (What's that, you need a mule, you say, to cash fake money orders and cashiers checks?) We are looking for representatives in the states who will be working for us as a part-time worker and be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work. We need someone who would be helping in receiving payments from our clients in the States. An agent who is responsible and reliable that will be handling the payment aspect. The payment will be addressed and sent to you and all you need do is to get it cashed, deduct your percentage and wire the balance back to any of our accountants/lawyers in our regional warehouses. The problem we have is getting someone that is really capable and trustworthy and i believe that it is only a fellow Lion (Seriously? You're targeting a fantastic organization like the Lions? Slimy bastards.) can be trusted 100%. This offer is not going to cost you any amount because all you need to do is to receive payments which will be sent to you via delivery courier , which would come in form of a money order/check get it cashed and send the cash to our accountants/lawyers via MONEYGRAM, WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER and required charges for all transfer should be deducted from the money. (And when my bank discovers that the check is fake and holds me responsible for the funds? What then? Betcha you'll disappear when that happens) If you're interested, kindly get back to me ASAP with the information below. Please note any transaction carried out by our staff on behalf of this organization will be insured against risk.

Hee Haw! You cash the fake check, wire most of it to Nigeria (just a guess), and then your bank holds you responsible when it's discovered that the check is completely fake. A check-cashing mule scam...but this one ticks me off more than most. Targeting a charitable organization like the Lions Club? Beyond reprehensible. Good thing is, Lions are smart. I don't think they're going to get very many takers on this one. But just in case...remember...if it sounds too good to be true...
