Payment Processing Job Scam: restandtravel.com

These are popular at the moment, aren't they? You can see all the usual signs in this alleged "job ad": they require no skills, but want you to be an honest sucker with access to Internet Banking. I'd wager pounds to pence that the job involves accepting payments via direct deposit into your account, and then forwarding it (minus your cut) overseas. This is also known as "money laundering", and it's not a good idea to do it, or so the police will tell you when they come to investigate your posession of stolen money.

The domain "restandtravel.com" was registered on 2005-04-26 through Yahoo domains (popular with phishers) for one year. The message was sent to an Australian address from 85.138.45.6 (in Portugal, according to WHOIS) on Mon, 9 May 2005 06:16:52 +1000 (note timezone).
