Global LCD Store scamming?

I received an email (see below) offering me RM2,000 for every funds transfer as a Payment Receiving Agent on top of a USD4,000 monthly allowance. Too good to be true ? Or a scamming scheme at work.

The email initiated by them is asking for my personal info, contact as well as banking information. Their website only have one landing pages that is www.global-lcd-stores.com/Lcd.html. If you browse to their domain name URL at www.global-lcd-stores.com, you will hit an error.

Their domain registration history also look very odd. That domain was registered in Oct 26, 2008 and will expired in Nov 26, 2008. A one month valid website even though they claimed to be in business in 1984.

Well, in 1984 all we have is CRT or green-monochrome monitor. LCD doesn't even exist yet.

Rule of thumb. If its too good to be true, it probably is. Easy money usually means either its illegal or someone if duping somebody.

Cheers mate!
