1. Scam

No self-respective business who has its own domain would use gmail.com

6. Also, the grammar is sub-par

The first sentence, for example, is rather odd-sounding. There is also indiscriminate capitalization, as well as unnatural usages of the definite article (the), among other things. That alone says this is not a legitimate offer.

2. Habitat for Humanity used in Work-At-Home Scam

Habitat for Humanity used in Work-At-Home Scam

Milwaukee, Wis. – The Wisconsin Better Business Bureau is issuing an alert regarding a current work-at-home scam using a well-known charity, Habitat for Humanity International.

The Wisconsin BBB was notified by a consumer who answered an advertisement in her local newspaper for a work-at-home job as a Regional Donations Coordinator for Habitat for Humanity International. She applied for the job via email and was accepted.

She was sent a check, which she was told was a donation, and was instructed to keep $350 of it as her payment and wire the remainder to another Habitat for Humanity official who was said to be in charge of home construction projects. Unfortunately, the check was counterfeit. If she would have deposited the check into her personal checking account and wired the remainder, as instructed, she would have owed her bank the amount of money she withdrew against the check deposit.

Fortunately, this consumer became suspicious and did not wire the money, as instructed. Instead, she contacted the Wisconsin Better Business Bureau, which believes this is the latest twist on a common, work-at-home scam.

3. this has to be a scam:

Private donations will be made in your name from our esteemed Voluntary Donors in your region and other parts of the world and you'll be allowed to deduct 10 percent (10%) of the total amount on these donations. This serves as your remuneration for the great service you would be rendering in support of saving lives in the third-world countries. Balances (after the 10%) shall be required to be forwarded to the Regional Co-ordinators of the various charitable projects we are involved in around the Globe.

Why? That doesn't make any sense at all.

4. S=C-A-M !!! This is not the way Habitat would advertise... It looks fishy...

And any offer saying you can make $1000 a week at home is almost always a scam, unless you go into prostitution. You could make $10,000 a week in that profession. But you wouldn't see an ad for that position usually.

5. No professional would write a 'Job Description' like that says nothing .

This is not from the Jimmy Carter Habitat for Humanity.

7. You solicit on behalf or "Habitat", take your cut and forward the rest to...

some address.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

9. That is what I wanted to see - Thanks. MC.

10. If you have to ask, or if it contains the word "esteemed", it's a scam
