I requested more info and received an email from Bill Stamper, HR manager of The Grand Travel. They have a website and they look legit. However, no phone number, no answer to requested phone call. Offer of employment without an interview, application including a page for my bank account number, routing number, driver's license info, etc. Can not find them listed with BBB or as having a phone number through YP or white pages.

Thank you for helping spread a word of caution about these types of messages! Based on the information listed within your original post, the message in question does appear to be a payment processing (shipping) scam. It also appears to be a spoof message designed to appear as if it came from a legitimate source or 3rd party company in order to lend its credibility.

We recommend such messages be disregarded and any current or future correspondence attempts related to the message be ignored.

Thank you.
