Hi and welcome to ScamWarners

It is a scam, a check on the online register of Limited Companies in the UK, shows that there is no such company as "Leo Supermarket Ltd".

Can you post the email address that this scammer is using, to help others avoid being scammed by them.

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.

That looks like it is a spoofed email address as the domain has been in existence since 2003. What email address do you get when you hit reply?

The scammer is spoofing the email address [email protected].

He is actually using [email protected] for the scam.

That was the exact message i received...please reply guys!

No worries. They were hoping to get your cash by offering you a (fake) job, then telling you that you had to send money for visa, work permit, etc.

The scammers may target you with a few more specific scams, so you will have to be even more careful about future messages. Other than that, there's nothing to be concerned about.

Just cut off all contact with the scammers. Block their email, and ignore anything in the future.

And, in case they try to threaten you (as some scammers do), if you have signed anything, you have NOT signed a legally binding contract. It's automatically void when the information on it is fake.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION :) I was also thinking that it might be a scam because the transaction was so fast ...so i also ask my friend who's living in London right now and she told me that the email address itself was so suspicious.

The offer is a scam and is not from the real company that does exist and has a website here

http://www.bigcommunications.co.uk

They are legitimate and respectable, The offer is from an imposter and fraudster who wants to steal money from you by getting you to deposit counterfeit cheques in your bank account.

Note that the e-mail is not from the official company domain. No company would give you a job based on an online internet interview. Strange too that the company hasn't even mentioned what their line of work is.

A company whose work consists of communication would never issue an e-mail with a phrase like this.

we reserves the right to investigate on all information


It suggests that whoever wrote it is not based in the UK at all. If you have any doubt, ring the company using the phone number on the official website I quote, and they'll confirm it to be a scam.

As you undoubtedly realise this is another job scam.

All they're interested in is the fake fees they're going to make you pay up front and it's only after you've paid them the cash that you'll realise that there's no job.

They quote the real website www.costa.co.uk but their e-mails are coming from a different fake domain they've set up themselves @costacofee.co.uk. If it were coming from the real company it would be the same as the website @costa.co.uk.

They'll want you to pay fees to the account of a private individual or to a person by MoneyGram or Western Union. A real company would NEVER ask you to make payment to anywhere other than a bank account in their company name - NEVER EVER.
