Beware of email from Dave Hockaday (scootworks)

 It is amazing how many people will fall for this and other get rich scams online.
There is a guy from this area who lost his whole life saving.

Something fishy is going on and someone is apparently sending emails as dave hockaday from the email scootowrkspp@gmail.com

Appears to be some sort of bank wire/money order scam so go ahead and delete the email

I sent Debbie an email about it and they know about the issue - she said Dave actually got the email himself.

Email is below:

"Hi Chris ,

"Hello Chris,

I'm leaving on 27 October,and I will return on 30 November. If this should
not conflict with your timetable, this is what the task involves:

By my own business and full time job, I also work part time for Les Petites
Gourmandises from Dublin, Ireland that has spread its Products and
Services in the US market. It is a catering company, specializing in
Irish and Belgian chocolate, very popular in USA and they are selling chocolate
fountains, popcorn machines and candyfloss machines and like most of the
European wholesaler, Les Petites Gourmandises uses an associate payment
processor for US orders that are paid with bank wire.

Basically,here is what I have to do for each order: First I am alerted when
they get order and the client chooses to pay via bank wire transfer -
the amount and date of the deposit.

After the client has completed the deposit to my account,I have to check my
account to see the deposit, so Les Petites Gourmandises can send the goods.

Then,after the deposit has cleared, I keep the 7% (my percentage) and I send
the amount due to Les Petites Gourmandises (total order amount minus 7) by Money
Orders or WU. Of course, you will keep the entire percentage for the period that
I will be away, should be about $600 per week, depending on the firm sales.

If you think you can do it, I can ask Mr.Robert Adams, Managing Director,
to send you full info. Please let me know at your earliest convenience,
I want to straighten out this before I leave.

Thank you
Dave"
