Early February 2010, I responded to a job ad for a "mailing assistant"  Here is the job description:

At present we have a very interesting employment proposal for anyone with few hours of spare time a day.

The following are some of the more significant benefits and terms and conditions of your employment.

Besides the weird English, it doesn't look too bad, right?  I also would be paid $36 per package shipped.  I got my first batch of packages this week.  Ipod to be sent to Russia.  That got me worried so I did a little research and found this article:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3730401/.  So the job is for an organized crime ring to move merchandise purchased by stolen credit cards overseas.  I filed a police and FBI report.  Watch out for these ads!  Don't let unemployment panic cloud your judgment.
