Ok..I posted an advert saying i was looking for a weekend job blah blah.
I sooner or later get this reply:
I should provided that there is a post office in the area. In addition to that, I don't mind you doing all of the tasks during your spare time outside of work or school.. I wish I could meet up with you to talk about this job in person but i am currently away on for a Orphanages pedestrian construction. I am in Africa so there will be no interview.I am senior civil engr I will prepay you in advance to do my shopping and have my mails/packages forwarded to your address.If you will be unable to stay at home to get the mails, I can have them shipped to a post office near you and then you can pick them up at your convenience. All errands will be in your city/town so It is not a must that you have a car for the job, you can go places by bus or taxi. When you get my mails/packages; you are required to mail them to where I want them mailed to. You won't have to put money out of your pocket, all you have to do is have packages shipped to your house and do my shopping. You are allowed to open the packages to reveal the content. The content of the packages will be business and personal mails. All expenses and taxes will be covered by me.... You will work between 15 and 20hrs a month. How much will you charge per month? I will pay 500GBP per month. That is not a bad offer is it? I need your service because I am constantly out of town... I am senior civil engr. I will return to UK in November so this process will be on going till then... If you don't mind, I will meet up with you when I return and then we can talk about the possibility of making this long term.
Well, I will have the mails sent to the post office however, the money to do my errands must be mailed directly to you. I will email you the list and pictures of what to shop for when I am ready. No heavy packages is involved! You can do the shopping at stores. You will be shopping for household items, Electronics and clothings. I will provide you my UPS account number for Shipping. All you have to do is provide my account number to UPS and shipping charges will be applied into the account. I will provide clear set of instructions for each task I need done as well the funds to cover them. If I were to mail you money to do my errands plus upfront payment for your service, how should your name appear on the money? Where should I mail it to?Your phone number. I need your contact address for the cheque to be mail to you. get back to me with the details below,
FULL NAME : THAT WILL APPEAR ON THE CHEQUE .

I'm gobsmacked you even asked.
The scary thing is that people do sign up for these things.
We had a phone call yesterday from someone who wasn't even one of our customrs (we do computer support and supply AV software as part of what we do) This woman had fallen for the HMRC scam and given ALL their personal details - bank account, NI Number, Mother's Maiden Name, Date of Birth - the LOT! The stupid woman rang us to ask what to do!!! It didn't occur to her to ring the bank and change her bank account before she did anything else. The scary thing is that people do sign up for these things.
