I think they don't quite get how this works. They're either the worst con men on the net or they're so clever that they *seem* clueless.
Dave is calling it a "914" scam.

Hello, We are web designers/programmers team. We are located in Moscow, Russian Federation. Currently, our team works for several US companies and we have difficulty in getting our wages. They're to pay us but they don't send money directly to Russia, because the companies we work for pay us by direct deposits available in USA and Canada only. Reasonable question: why don't they pay us by checks? Yes, they could, but here in Moscow it is really hard to collect on the American checks (enormous commission fees and it takes 2-3 months).
We realize that you can't provide your current bank account. So, if you are ready to help, would you be so kind as to open a new zero-balanced checking account where they could send our wages.
So, when our employers get the account information they will initiate the transfer. When the bank transfers are completed your assistance is needed once again to transfer the money via Western Union or Money Gramm (it is not the best (profitable) way but it's the fastest one).
Finally, we have to solve the problem regarding your interest in this deal We suppose you should get an interest in this business and we can offer you a good compensation for your help. If you are ready to help, please, send your reply to the following email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] or my personal e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The sum is variable but usually no less than 800.00-2,500 a week (approx.) Any
suggestions?
Best wishes, Vladislav Spilmah
