I get one of those every couple of weeks. Yesterday I got a new
flavor of the same scam, offering me a "job" where I deposit the
money in my own bank account and then send them 90% of it (keeping
10% for my commission, of course)...

Musicians I know are getting that recently.
Either the scammer (in foreignlandia) wants your
help booking a venue or the scammer wants you to
teach guitar his son, the crown prince of foreignlandia.

Are the one's you get specific to your occupation?

There's also the generic "free puppies" Nigerian scam.
Now, who can resist free puppies?
