Another scam with advance check (no PayPal option).
Old 2017 EC economic report very actual during COVID-19.
Below is email from ([email protected])
File also attached.
I usually "loose" first check and ask sent it via FEDEX. Sometimes it works - this way we can support our economy during crisis.

Hello and how are you doing today? My name is Elizabeth Julieth, I'm an outsourcer and I found your contact on ATANET and I need a document translated from English to Russian

Kindly find attached document and get back if available to translate. You check the word count and get back to me with your charges/rate and then we can proceed. I need the document ready within 1 month from now.

Thank you

Stay safe from Covid-19 ▲ Collapse

Crime Jun 14, 2020

I'd give the whole thing unopened to the police so they can fingerprint the inside before it's contaminated and perhaps try to trace it back via FedEx if you manage to get it that way.

I know Liviu-Lee Roth believes it isn't worth the trouble and it may well not be, but only if enough people report such financial crime is there any chance of an investigation.
