I do believe this is a scam

[email protected] says his name is Michael Simmons, his phone number is 214-444-6297 or 972-232-9096, he says he works for Yadley computers out of bristol, london. He has sent me several e-mails and wants me to complete some task. I have talked to him on the phone and his voice does not fit the picture that he has on yahoo messenger.

Definitely sounds like a possible scam. Could you post the emails he sent you (remove your name and address), and we can determine for sure whether it is a scam, and if so, identify what type?

hey guys i just received an email from coltsfoot county they say they are looking for an accountant.
can anybody in the forum find out if this is legit i dont want to be mixed up with another scam like the TIFOSI

Welcome to ScamWarners mrots. Real companies do NOT send out emails announcing they have an opening, unless you have some previous relationship with them.

If you receive a job offer for a job you did not contact the company about, it IS a scam.

Please post up the actual email you received and the email address it came from. Headers are also helpful in many cases.

Both letters are scams, I'm afraid.

The company Tifosi cycles is real. Scammers are simply using their name and in some cases, copying their details, while in other cases, they are using the name with fake details. The real Tifosi cycles is not trying to hire anyone via email.
