It's a new twist on an e-mail we first told you about just two months ago.
In April, it was Ashley Furniture, now it's Costa Coffee- both legitimate businesses.
This time, Costa Coffee is supposedly looking for one part-time bookkeeper to cash checks and money orders.
As part of the deal, you keep 12% as commission and wire the rest to Costa Coffee.
Just Delete It!
Like the Ashley Furniture e-mail we warned you about in April, the Costa Coffee e-mail is a money mule scam.
And, it means you're engaging in money laundering.
And as we always say with this type of e-mail, check the originating e-mail address.
Official businesses don't use popular e-mail services like Yahoo, Hotmail or G-mail.
