Premium Arts an email scam

Something that caught my eye with this scam beyond the poor grammar, use of "u" instead of you, the statement "according to how you have been briefed above", and over-all bad spelling was the question about whether I have HOME EQUITY? No legitimate job offer is ever followed with a question about whether I have home equity or not. Can't help think 'yeah, after I deposit some of those bogus certified money orders and cashiers checks, I might need a home equity loan to pay the bank back all I just got scammed out of."

Premium Arts is a United Kingdom Based Company with established leaders in innovative Art Works Technology, providing art materials worldwide. We serve the entire United States and a growing export market. Premium Arts needs a representative for the company to co-ordinate payments from customers and help us with the payment process in the US. The selected representative will not be involved in any sales. Once orders are received and sorted,we deliver the product to a customer. After this has been done the customer has to pay for the products but in most cases we make our clients prepay for orders or items they ordered for. About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through cashiers checks, Money Orders and bank wire transfer based on the amount involved.For instance,customers owing the company $4000 are required to pay in US certified checks or money orders.cutomers owing amout of $8000 and above are required to pay via bank wire transfer,while customers owing $100,000 a
nd above are required to make a b
