Here's another email scam that just hit my email account. Now some would ask, "Jennifer, I get these things in my email all day long; why on earth do you spend the time posting this stuff when we all get them".
The answer is simple - NOT everyone realizes these things are a scam. I post them in hopes that someone will actually do a search on the Internet - BEFORE they fall for this.
I'm going to highlight the BIG RED FLAGS only. But one thing to think about in this particular email is that if you look at the sent from in YOUR email - this one came from a UK account (From: "Ashley Furniture Company" info@ashley.co.uk) Ashley Furniture is an American Company. I imagine if someone were to contact them, Ashley Furniture would be glad to explain they do not need any outside payment processors.

N.B:Note: We will never ask you for anything more than that which we have stated above.No bank names, No bank account number, routing number,credit card, passwords, SSN# etc. If anyone asks for those on our behalf, please do not give out this info.
Again, I ask, Please do not get sucked into this type of scheme. he SAM is to have you process bogus funds and bottom line, you will end up getting stuck with a bad check. Not only will the bank come after you, but if the amounts are large enough - Federal Authorities could come after you also. None of these agencies care that you didn't know any better.
