Milton Keynes Book Keeper *has anyone else received this?*

*is this a scam?* I’m honestly not sure of this one.
There is a city and a few organizations with the name “Milton Keynes”. However the person who sent this:

Subject: PART TIME JOB OFFER (URGENT REPLY)
From: “Brian Howard”

Looks like a scammer. Brian Currie has been synonymous with the city of Milton Keynes since 1977. That is a legitamit company with (what looks like) NO affiliation with the person who originally sent this email.

Good Day,

Would you like to work online from home and get paid weekly? Milton Keynes
Textiles LTD needs a book-keeper in the United States. I want to know if
you will like to work online from home and get paid weekly without leaving
or affecting your present job? This is safe and legal.

My company produces various clothing materials,and traditional costumes
which we have clients we supply weekly in the states and canada. My
clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of payment which
are not readily cash able outside the United States, So we need someone in
the States to work as our representative and assist us in processing the
payments from our clients and I will pay him/her weekly salary.

All you need do is receive these payments from our clients in your
vicinity and get it cashed then deduct your weekly fee and forward the
balance to our respective agents. As soon as we confirm any payment coming
to you, I will let you know and I will provide instructions on how to
process the payment.

Please forward the following info to my email
