There is a group of scammers working out of Malaysia offering jobs with Halliburton Oil & Gas. The job offers usually come in an email saying that you have been offered a job with Halliburton in Malaysia. The pay and benefits offered are outstanding, in fact, they are too good to be true. Once you fill out an application and send them your resume, you are directed to an "Immigration services" email account. From the Immigration services email you are asked to send fees via Western Union for the processing of a visa and work permits.
The names currently being used in the scam are Bar. Najib Mohamed claiming to be from Halliburton and Dr. Faridah .M. from the Visa Department.
These criminals are working out of several email addresses, here are some that I have collected, but there are many more:

Note that real employees of Halliburton Oil and Gas would use an email address ending in [email protected], not a free email account such as gmail/googlemail or yahoo.
The Career section of the real Halliburton Oil and Gas company is found here: http://www.halliburton.com/careers/. They have the following warning posted about the fraudulent job offers.
Remember if the job offer is too good to be true...it probably is!
