Me too Dec 8, 2017

I also received this email-this time moving with his wife to Malta but I just took no notice of it as I was very busy and, unfortunately, I never thought of writing here or checking here to warn others. I did check his profile page but when I saw he had created a profile page so soon before sending the email, I just ignored the email. I should have written here or checked with Support. Thanks for posting.

For the required payments, a check will be mailed to allow you to have funds to cover all transactions.
You are not paying for anything in advance with your personal money.
From this check you would be paid your salary too.
If the procedure is understood, I will send you a contract by e-mail, then we will begin the process.
Looking forward to hearing from you in due course.

tubemerchant wants to relocate !!! Dec 9, 2017

Same here, received this 2 days ago, i thought it was real (when we are short of cash, all seem real unfortunately). Anyway, i replied, he sent me a contract to sign, requesting the following of my details: name/surname, home address, email. Before returning the contract, i asked him to send me one week's salary in advance via Skrill or PayPal (so as to see whether he was the real deal) but he said he would send me a cheque with all included. So i started to get worried (better late than never).... See more

A big thanks to all the members for the alert!Collapse
