Job Scam: finstars.com

This is a modestly fancy job scam, but it has all the hallmarks of a money laundering scam for those who care to look. It arrived by spam and offers a large cut for shifting money around -- that should be enough. But this one does go the extra mile and provides a sleek-looking (but poorly written) website to represent the fake "escrow" company for which you are invited to work.

It's clear how much effort the registrar is putting into the verification of these details. Anyhow, the text of the spam follows, for reference.
