Job offer?

I received the email below from [email protected]. I find it very suspicious in that it is a hotmail! account suposedly from the Manager of a large US company and there is no company logos. Then it asks me to send my CV to an even different hotmail account. I am unemployed presently and have applied for jobs of this type, however, this has to be some sort of a scam ? Any one with advice ?

Yes - I'm afraid it's a scam and has been referred to before in this forum, but it may be a script that another scammer has taken to using.

You are quite correct in that a major US orporation would use it's own domain, but wouldn't attempt to hire people this way anyway, and the scammer is using multiple mailboxes because he expects the 'mailbombing' one to get shut down quite quickly and he doesn't want to lose potential victims that way.

It will end up in him mailing you counterfeit cheques to launder though your account and exchange for cash that you send him. After which you get charged back by your bank and called to an interview with the police to explain why you are passing forged paper through your bank account.

The offer is in actuality an attempt to steal money from you, and turn your life into chaos. I wish you luck in your job search, and am happy you didn't step on this 'landmine'. Scammers like this deserve worse than a landmine as their fate.

1) I literally grew up shopping at Neiman's. They have never had the tag line about leading and following.

Never.

2) They do not have stores in Europe, and, at the current time, they do not plan any. This information is readily available at the company's website.

3) The wording of the position isn't remotely like what Neiman's uses for such jobs. Here in America, they also call their sales staff "Associates", not "Support".

4) The English usage is off. Who uses "streamer" for "slogan", except a non-English speaker?
