hi, I have the exact same email and have been correcting correspondence for 2 days is it a scam?? Suppose to the get paid in thirty days. can you tell me more about this company?? and the job??
by AlanJones Thu Aug 30, 2018 2:49 am
It's a scam. The scammer wants you to correct their communication with other scam victims for them as they are non-English speakers, but want to appear proficient in English.

You'll be helping scammers scam victims and then when you are due to be paid in a month's time, they'll ignore you.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Have you heard about this company?? And how can I research information on this type of scam??
by AlanJones Thu Aug 30, 2018 4:16 am
You've been told it is a scam, whether we have heard of the company or not is irrelevant. Scammers change the names of their fake identities regularly and steal the identities of legitimate businesses.

if you want to do more research then feel free to go and use Google.

Locking this to stop any more time being wasted with pointless questions.
