Check Processing Employment Scam Letter

from: Brook Paul, CEO and owner of WBC ...

NOTE: "Brook Paul" is not the real name of the scammer

 

Letter Source:  This letter appears to have come out of Nigeria through an Internet service in Lebanon called Cobranet.  That's way out of line for a company that is supposedly based in the UK, plus any company of any size in the UK has it's own web site and email address.

As is so common in Nigerian scams, the first and last names the scammer has assigned to this letter are reversed.  The normal sequence would be "Paul Brook."

Also, he can't seem to decide what his so-called corporate title is.  At the top he calls himself the CEO, at the bottom he calls himself President.
