I received this email this morning from "[email protected]" from a person called "Georgina Larner":
This is almost exactly the same wording as this:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32769&start=15
It's really quite convincing, as I applied to similar jobs via GumTree recently, it's almost certain that they got my email address from a false advert that I replied to.
The pay rate and the job offer without an interview really gives it away.
I hope this helps other people avoid making any payments to these 'people' (trying keep it polite).
Keep up the good work, this website helped me easily detect this scam!
