And it had an attachment with 8 pages of meaningless legalese garbage and space for my personal details inc bank accounts.

Now I know these guys are cheque fraud scammers. They want to pay me $450 per week for 3hrs work from home. Too good to be true? Yes, it is.
They will send fake cheques, get me to wire cash (minus my 5% fee) and then after they get the cash the fake cheque will bounce from the bank and I'll be out however much I wired.

So, I plan on sending back their form tonight. I will use my real phone number as they will call next to make sure I'm gullible. I will make up a bank a/c no and I'm planning to use the street address of police HQ in brisbane as the place to send the fake cheques. I will use 'Dave Chekfoord' as my name. See if the coppers put it together
--------------------

Careful careful dave - put a block on their number after they've called ya back mate!

Hmm that puts a twist on it. I'll use my work number instead, then they won't know which Dave they're looking for

here is the contract

Contract



Phone number is the local Noodle bar, staffed by my sub-continental friends.
English not so good.

I guess that's where it will end, but tbh I can't be assed printing, filling out, scanning so I'll just send this back and see if they email back.

Nice work tiger

I think Rofl or Max Czecfrord sounds more believable

Be wary of a shirtless Rusky ex-prez on your door step tho.[}:)]

Yeah, they found your details from your resume on Seek, how much about you do they already know?

I wouldnt like to pee them off too much. They have a very low value on human life.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Get a voip number of sorts instead, I think there are plenty of companies out there. I recall even skype has option to get a "real number".

This will make it harder for them to trace you down.

Have fun
