Question: Is this job another scam?
( Back )
Answer #1:
Anytime someone wants you to handle money transactions without having ever met you & of course making it sound charitable & legit ( Orphanage & community service ) You can bet it is a scam & you will be required to cash the cashiers checks to " buy the gifts " or required to give your banking info so they can be " directly deposited " in your account. Both of these methods are scams & you will find they are fake checks & be held responsible for the funds . Internet Money scam warning sites always state that the mention of out of the country business deals are a sure sign of a scam*Answer #2:
Anytime you see in the email, they want info, name/address/phone#. ETC. It's a scam. Delete it.Answer #3:
The first tip off was the form-letter-like quality. The next was the excessive number of typos and awkward english. Unfortunately, all areas of the internet seem to have been inundated with scams - even the job market (what better place to go phishing for personal info?)Trust your gut - it's a scam!

Answer #4:
It's definitely a scam, DO NOT provide any details. This is how criminal gangs recruit money mules to launder their money.They will send you counterfeit Cashiers Checks/Money Orders that they want you to deposit into your personal bank account, then they will ask you to wire money through Western Union or Moneygram to them, while taking out $450 for yourself. So they might send you a Cashiers Check/Money Order for $3000, then ask you to wire $2550 to them. The problem is, your bank doesn't discover the check was fake for 3-4 weeks, so it will debit the $3000 you deposited from your account, charge you bounced check fees. You will not only be out the $2550 of your own money you sent to the scammer, but because you deposited a counterfeit monetary instrument, the bank needs to inform the police, FBI and Treasury Department who will investigate you and you could end up arrested for forgery, bank fraud and complicity in money laundering - all federal offenses.

DO NOT send this person any personal information.
Answer #5:
Did you have contact with this company?A legitimate business gets all the information they need from you in your resume, references, and follow up interviews.
They work out all question and answers BEFORE they say that you are hired.
And, if they do want to hire you, they will NOT send you an E-mail about it.
No legitimate business handles buying, or payments like that. Why would anyone bother with a third person, when they can cut that and save money, especially now with the tight economy?
Plus, just LOOK at that message. No self respecting business person would allow ANYONE associated to them to communicate with the public with such atrocious grammar!
This a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.

Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
You really need to get yourself some employment etiquette and knowledge fast.
The first being that job hunting online, is just asking for people to try to scam you.
Looking on the Internet is risky at best, as it is much too easy to lie and cheat online.
If you are serious about finding work, use an employment agency.
