Job Scam: Further details on "Mercury Industries"
Although I haven't seen any actual spam from them in a while, the scammers calling themselves "Mercury Industries" are still active. Here's a copy of a job offer letter they emailed to me after I sent off a request for further information. There are two important things to note about the job (highlighted in bold text): it involves money transfers (see point three), and you don't get paid until after you've done at leat one such transfer (so they're guaranteed not to make a loss on you as an "employee"). This is obviously a money laundering positon.
