Got an email today offering me a position as a Finance Manager - No Experience Required. As I'm aware of the existence of those scams so I decided to research further and I landed at this useful website where I could find similar recruitment scams. Initially the job advert seemed somehow plausible but after Google the company I soon realized that was somehow difficult to find anything at all (such LinkedIn and Facebook accounts) related to the prospective employer. Then I emailed them sending my CV out (my mistake...) and I obtained I prompt reply (somehow strange practice these days...) asking me to fill in an application form containing my bank details in order to get paid for 10 training sessions. Then I found it even more weirder and I decided to enquire them further about the job location (an important but a missing information) but this time I have not obtained any response, which truly makes me believe that it was a scam.
