Even without the extended headers, I can tell you this is a scam.

100% scam job, consisting of passing fake checks, that not only will lose you money, but could even land you in jail.

Their website was created only last week. I'm sure some of our site killers will be happy to make sure its life is short. The extended headers from their email could help with the evidence.

Hi there and welcome to scamwarners :)

The domain gtc-hire.com is only a few days old and was registered in Russia - sure signs of a job scam.

What you posted aren't the headers - to get headers in gmail do the following:

*open the mail you want the headers of
* In the top right of the mail, next to 'reply', you'll see a small triangle. Click it.
* select "show original"

A new window will open with the headers. Just copy the whole thing and post it here. Do be sure to check if you removed your email adress from them, though. It may be shown several times.

Sounds like BS to me! This is the SECOND one this month!!!!

Would it be appropriate to ask companies like that for their FIN (Federal Identification Number)?

OK, so what if I'm in Russia and want to start a business that operates legitimately using the Internet? What would I do to inspire trust? I hope the answer isn't, "Move out of Russia."!

The trouble with all the scamming is that it raises the general level of distrust, and I think it's one of the factors that make it so hard to find jobs or launch businesses these days. Seems like we're reverting to a society where there's no division of labor based on impersonal relationships, but everything depends on personal trust which is gained thru cx.

Is this what you were looking for? I also received and was considering it until I investigated further. Now, no way!

@lawrence: yes! That is exactly what I need, thank you very much for that. But are you sure that these are the headers of the first mail you posted in this thread? The headers appear to come from gtc-hire.com, the original mail from gtcproject.com. Could you please send me all headers to my email adress (or post them here)? I'd also like the email which belongs to this last header :)

@robert: In the opening mail they claim to be a company based in the United States. If an 'international trade company' in the US has a website domain, a few days old, registered in Russia, then that is a classical sign of a job scam. I am not claiming in any way that all russian sites/companys are bad. That would be like claiming that all Nigerians are scammers.
