Yet another scam email! Very familiar M.O.contact the sender, get a check or money order, cash it, keep 10%, send proceeds via Western Union or Money Gram. Discover when it's too late that the check/money order is bogus.
The email is below. Note the following:
The atrocious grammar. Shouldn't a multimillion-dollar international company be able to find a person proficient in English to compose its emails?
"Dear sir/madam." Why would a multimillion-dollar international company have to send out mass emails (spam) to get qualified employees?
Reply to: "
[email protected]." Why would a multimillion-dollar international company have a Yahoo email address? And why is there no internet address provided?
Verbatim email follows:
