Job Scam: Ukrainian Folk Instruments Sales

This is an entirely ordinary payment processing job scam, although the cover story is more laughable than usual. They sell gold and jewel encrusted folk instruments? Quite a yarn. As usual, don't touch this: the "payments" received consist of stolen money which the "employee" will launder. Police frown on this sort of thing, and banks tend to freeze the recipient's account rather promptly.
