Are There Any Lawyers Out There, Or Just Someone Familiar with the Laws Governing International Commerce?
1)The cost of coming down to the state to receive the payment and get it cashed 2) If the payment are sent here down to us in UK,it take a very long time to clear and it in one way or the other delay us 3) if we cash check that are out of UK the Govt would charge 25% of it as tax
Is this legal?

You will receive an intialial mail like this: (mine came from "Bishopston Trading Company" - contact Bishopton Trading Company and ask if your email came from them!)
Note the poor use of English.
Hello,I am sonia smith, am from England,I'll be glad to inform you that we have a part time job going on,we are looking for a Male or Female representative,who can be working for us as a partime worker and get ($300) on every work u do. and we are happy to inform you that this would not affect your present state of work.and if you are interested u can contact me in my mail address {btcemployeeagent2007@yahoo.co.
If you respond to this mail - which I suggest you do not you will receive the second mail:
Again, note the poor use of English, and the fact that this supposed English woman refers to ZIP codes!
hello,
Thank so much for your responds,And i will like to know if u are interested in the part time and would need more INFO about it??.
Okay before we proceed I'll like to know your a/s/l and what you do for a living and if you're really interested in this part time job ? Okay,the job is all about being a payment collector for our compa ny within the state,that we need someone from any part of the state,that would be helping us to receive outstanding payments from our customers in the state and which would never affect you present state of working,and we're willing to pay you $300 on each payment you receive from them on our behalf.And this payment is for the supply of fabric textiles materials we supply to them.The reason why we need you're (1),The cost of coming down to the state to receive the payment and get it cashed,(2)If the payment are sent here down to us in UK,it take a very long time to clear and it in one way or the other delay us,(3) if we cash check that are out of UK the Govt would charge 25% of it as tax,but with you been our middle man,it is a tax free,all we realise is just the $300 we pay you and all the rest of the fee.And the company would arrange a personal check for you to clear up taxes at the end of the year after each tax estimation.
It would not cost you any amount nor too much stress,you are just to receive our payments which will be sent to u by post or mostly mail from our customers,or those mailed to us in our Location will be sent out to you.So all you're expected to do is when you receive the check,just take it to your Bank,get it cashed,take your $300 cut and wire the rest to our company either by Money Gram Money Transfer or Western Union Money Transfer,and all the fee been charge on it would be from the company side.All we need now is your trust,But we have our way of getting anyone that gets away with our money via so many ways.But I think I can have personal trust in you ??And hope you know that the check would be in your name,mail to your address,you get it cashed,take your cut,and wire the rest to our company..that's all.
Here are the INFO needed from you to get started with the job.

All you're to be doing is to be helping us recieve payments from our customers.These payments May come in Check,Cashiers Check, Money Order and Travellers Cheque,or International Money Orders base on what our client decides to pay with. and they would come to you in your name,co's you're the one to get them cashed, so all you need do is cash the payment in your bank or cashing point,or any cashing store, take your 10% from the payment and wire the rest to us via western union,or money gram money transfer to the given name and information we would be providing for you.and this our companys address,
I found this statement on the website you mentioned. *Please note we have no connection whatsoever with the money laundering scam which has been using our company name. This scam offers part-time homeworking in North America. We are in the process of investigating this.* I'm not familiar with law, but you don't really need an attorney.
you are helping them avoid a legitimate 25% UK tax! .and you ask is it legal?
You would need to set up a company name that was on the checks you are supposed to cash or.are the checks to be made in your name? Bank accounts are evidence.
I would want to talk with someone who has done this before to convince myself rainbows do have gold in them. Otherwise I would stay far away from them.
Money laundering is even mentioned on the site! RUN don't walk.
