14 DAY TRIAL // As I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions, it’s not a good idea to accept job offers advertised via unsolicited emails because you could end up being accomplice in a fraud scheme.
A perfect example is a fake job offer documented by Conrad Longmore of Dynamoo’s blog.
The emails, entitled “There is a vacancy of a Regional manager in USA,” look something like this:
“If you have excellent administrative skills, working knowledge of Microsoft Office, a keen eye for detail, well-versed in the use of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, are organized, present yourself well and are a team player with the ability to work independently, are reliable and punctual and can understand and execute instructions are determined to work hard and succeed - we need you.
If you are interested in this job, please, send us your contact information: Full name: Country: City: E-mail:
Please email us for details: [email protected]”

As Longmore highlights, this might be an attempt to recruit unsuspecting individuals for money laundering or reshipping stolen goods, so beware.
