I assume you never actually applied for this job. I also assume you recognise it is a scam in all probability. You could of course respond and accept their offer but I suspect they will then ask for some 'details' just to get paperwork sorted. Like your bank details and internet details so they can arrange payment etc. Of course once you send your internet details then they will access that with a tracker cookie and you know what happens next???? You may even be 'lucky' and have to make a small payment to cover delivery of your 'package'.

You probably have about the same odds of this being a genuine deal as winning the Lottery, so if you feel 'lucky'?????

But it is nice someone thinks you are the answer to their requirements and it is always nice to be blessed, whether you are religious or not. No address is given but I suspect Africa or Asia are likely.

Have a nice day...as they say.

So, what are you trying to say SL? Do you mean it's a scam? surely not........

I don't mind moving to another continent....

You never know.

The Company does exist and make plastic mouldings from a base in Taiwan. The question is whether the advert you received actually came from them, or a middle agency and do any jobs actually exist.

You could always e mail the Company direct through its website and see if it is genuine. Curious to know how they knew of you, unless you have had dealings in that industry somewhere else. Are you qualified in accountancy or similar so you could handle what must be payroll type functions.

Maybe I am being too cyncial.

Sorry, it makes plastic moulding machines for sale, not the actual mouldings themselves.

You poor people having to work.

I am about to come into a small fortune simply for helping an African prince cash in a cheque or two.

As soon as I get the clearance from my bank, they sent me a security check e mail the other day, I'll be up and running.

Just imagine what I can do with my new found wealth. Maybe try some of those little blue pills and a bit of surgery that every one seems to think I need.

And I've just come into an inheritance from a South African multi-millionaire - who's left me $250,000,000 dollars in his will. I didn't know him, but apparently he met me in England when he was younger, and I made such a good impression that he decided to leave me all his money. I'm just about to post a cheque to the firm of barristers who are handling it, along with my bank details so that they can pay in the cheque, and to prevent any suggestions of money laundering.

Mr Val A won a Spanish lottery last week too - 140,000 euros - and he's just awaiting instructions from Maria De Salva about the arrangement fees required to release the money.

It's strange once you have an email address how lucky you become!

Gosh - we're all having some good luck arn't we? This would never have happened before the internet and email.
