Yes, thats a scam.

Basically, you cash cheques and forward 90% of the money to the scammer, eventually the banks will realise whats going on and the victim is left with possible jail time as well as being liable for any money that was drawn from the cheques.

The scammers name looks strangely familiar, I will look into that later

Having a few (1-2 hrs a day) to check your email


(YOU COULD EARNED UP TO $900 usd a WEEK OR MORE)


$900 a week for, lets say, working 2 hours a day. 5 working days so that is 10 hours a week and they claim you could earn $900 a week! This would make the hourly rate $90ph! Your yearly income, taking out 2 weeks a year for a holiday, would be (900x50=) $45,000 for going down to your bank, cashing some cheques and then sending back a portion via Western Union. If these job opportunities were real everyone on the planet would be applying for them.

I recognize that name as used by a scammer, but it may be a different scammer. Ralph, I'm sure the reason it looks familiar to you is because there have been several victims of the romance scammer, "James Dawson". There is a thread about him next door, at 419Eater. Click here for James Dawson Thread at 419Eater.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492

^^^ You know, you are right, I have actually warned several people about him just this week, cheque and romance scammer "lonely James Dawson", I even sent somebody a link to that very thread earlier today without realising 8)

So many scammer names running around upstairs it can be quite confusing at times :lol:

it's a good idea to tell the website owner, and suggest they post a disclaimer that the email is a scam and nothing to do with them.
Being Between 19-90 years old

At least the scammer doesn't believe in age discrimination. :)

According to one of the 419eater members lonely james dawson is using a new email address and name these days.

The new address is [email protected]

Apparently this new ID will be attached to the same photos as Lonely James used
