Wow! $600 fee per assignment? I cannot even see that even in the future for mystery shopping. Could be a reimbursement though. But when they mention, "volunteer," time to run in the opposite direction.
They forgot to ask for your SS#.

South Africa 419 scam training is really slipping lately.

To really learn how to bait them and fight back: [forum.419eater.com]
scanman1 - LOL.

I had a friend that actually baited the Nigerian scammer guys for 2 days. She had them calling her from supposed locations along a dirty, dusty treck where they were supposed to ultimately meet her "partner" who had the money. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny - but then again they could have/probably were lying about where they were too, but if I recall she had them send photos of their location so her "partner" could locate them easier.

Oh my.

Not only that, but your spell checker should identify where the characters in the text originated as they tried to convert them to English.
