Transfer Agent 3

It looks as though this type of scam is getting to be quite popular. What I mean is, it seems to be working and, as a result, other groups are getting on to the bandwagon.

The E-Mails we have received up to now, reference either chinese or russian websites. Our research has not been able to run down much relevant information about them. Of course, the websites have no english language alternatives, which makes it hard to gather any information from the website content. Just the same, the hallmarks are typical for fraud or scam e-mails.

Here's the e-mail:
