does anyone really fall for this stuff?

Behold: the scammiest e-mail in my junk folder to date....with my comments, of course.
____________
My name is Richard Cooper, I am emailing you on behalf of BellHouse Fabrics & Interiors, United Kingdom. I would like to know if you would like to work online from home and get paid without affecting your present job or even affecting your day-to-day activities of any kind, actually we need a representative who can work for our company as an Online Payment Processor. (i would like to know if you've ever heard of a run-on sentence Richard actually i would like to know if i am wondering if you're even British)

We are presently making waves in the United Kingdom & Northern Ireland fabric markets, (so, do you make waves or fabric? i'm confused) we intend expanding our business towards the United States of America by accepting orders from both individuals and companies within USA. We recently placed Ad's on online websites (you mean they have websites ONLINE now? nifty! i thought they were only on tree trunks) for sales of our fabrics and got a very good number of requests for our products,however it is against our company policy to accept International Payments such as : USA Certified Checks, USA Bank Wire Transfers, USA Money Orders (Don't you think you should've thought of that before you placeed the Ad's on the online internet websites?). Therefore, we are requesting your partnership to assist in receiving payments on behalf of our company.

We are willing to pay you 10% for every payment processed through you from our clients/customers who will pay for their products which are purchased from our secure website stated above (payments processed for customers who pay for their products purchased...sorry, i just had to write that out to follow along). These payments are coming from these clients within USA and will be sent to you directly from our customers, all you have to do is lodge and cash each payment (great, another loser payment looking for a few free weeks lodging on my couch, eating my food, and making a mess of my bathroom), deduct 10% and forward 90% to our Payment Processing Center via Western Union Money Transfer / MoneyGram Money Transfer. All sending fee's are to be deducted from our 90%, however you will be required to have a valid checking account in which our customers might request to make payment either via Wire Transfer (Bank to Bank Transfer) or either via Certified Check. (so... which are your customers: the italian mobsters who love fabric, the irish mobsters who love fabric, or the shady oil tycoons who love fabric?)

You do not require any special skills to work with our firm (just an open checking account and an empty frontal lobe), however in order to apply for this job you need to ensure you have access to your e-mail regularly and reply to our e-mails promptly. You will also need to provide us with a valid phone in which you can be reached at anytime in case of any special update (an example of a 'special update' is: "Kallie, this Roger Cooper-" "don't you mean Richard Cooper?" "What? oh yeah, whatever, Richard. Anyway, it's very important that you--" "Heyy, what happened to your British accent Richard?" "SON OF A! Would you just listen? Take the account number, drive to the airport, and wait by the California Pizza Kitchen until i call you okay? leave now!"), in order to accept this job kindly fill the form stated below :

Full Name : (include any previous names, preferred aliases and mother's maiden name)
Address :
City :
State :
Country :
Zip Code :
Phone Number :
Age : (only put 18 if you really could pass for 18 should anyone ask questions)
Current Occupation :
Bank Name:

P.S: You must have a valid checking account (uhh, ya, you mentioned that already) in which can be used to receive payments being sent from a customer, this might be via Wire Transfer or Direct Deposit (or brown paper wrapped package or stuffed inside a child's doll or taped to a brick thrown through your window).

Kindly get back to me ASAP by filling the form stated above, once i hear from you i will immediately send you a reply with further information.

Regards,

Richard Cooper. (oh, i didn't think you were legit until i saw that you put a period at the end of your name. Sign me up Richie!)
