Yes! Yet another scam for you to be wary of. I am sure you all know of 419 scams, but did you know of this payment agent scam???
It may be Payment agent or officer, whatever they choose to call it, they basically are trying to 'hire' people to accept payment on their behalf and forward it to themselves. Yes that's right they send you an email asking you to accept payments into your bank account and then send it to them via western union or similar. They may offer a basic salary and / or commission on the figures that you will receive.
This is most definately an illegitimate scam and one to stay as far away from as possible. If anyone is asking you to accept payments and send it on to them you should stop and think 'why can't they accept the payment themselves?' most likely this will be enough for you to realise that this is a scam.
