I fell for this scam too since I looked it up online and didn't see anything like it. I even looked at the website for the Preciouse Metal Company and everything. I called the fax number and confiremed it was a fax #. The guy who I was working with calls himself Alex Ladd (Alexander Ladokovich).
This is the exact same e-mail that I got.

Then he gave me this info:
Precious Metal Operations assistance group inc
the webpage is pmogroup. biz

The website does not work for me. I can't get into it but he tells me it might be my computer.

Then I get the following instructions:

Lore,

Your 5% is $xxx
To accomplish the deal we need to transfer the funds to one of our head branches. You will need to make two Western Union transfers from the different branches and one Money Gram transfer.

You need to make first Western Union transfer of $xxx to the following requisition:
First name:Kseniia
Last name:Volkova
City:Warsawa
Country:Poland

Second Western Union from a different location of $xxx should be sent to:
First name:Aliaksei

City:Warsawa
Country:Poland

And Money Gram transfer of $xxx should be sent to:
First name:Veranika
Last name:Trufanava
City:Warsawa
Country:Poland

Please, remember that in connection with that such companies of instant money transferring do not support business type of transfers, the transfer should have a personal specification, the fees should be substracted from the amounts(you do not have to pay out of your pocket), after you accomplish please send us an email with the reference code and mtcn numbers and the clear amounts without fees

Also, please, be very careful with the spelling of receivers first and last names because the clerks often make mistakes.
And make sure that the funds are transferred in US dollars.

*** Don't get caught up in this scam. It's really scary to think that you did something wrong when you thought you had found something that was good for you and your family.
People, please be careful with this stuff. Cause you could even cost the job of a person who works for the bank. Delete it!!! If not report it first and then delete it!!!
No one needs this type of headache!!!!
If you are in the mist of this put the money back. Don't do it!!! You will regret it.
Hope this helps anyone in the predicametn that I was in.

I did the same thing as Joy and came across your blog. Good work to keep others informed.

If you have been scammed, the money is probably lost, but there is a chance they can catch and punish the people who did it. Contact your local police for details.

But seriously, the spelling errors and grammar alone would put me off as a prospective employee just on that principle alone, besides all of the other relevant information provided here on this site. What gets me is that there are people that most likely ignore these signs due to our economy and fork up any effort necessary to make their house payments. The parties that are responsible for this letter and for snaring helpless people desperate and without any means left will no doubt serve their time one way or another. The angry part of me says I hope that it's a more recent justice full of large bruts that can make these shameless "No spell checker Mfos!"
