Wow am I glad I did some research on this guy's email address. Thank you so very much for setting up this website and helping to protect us! Especially those of us who are just about desperate to find a job, especially one that pays decently! Here is the guy's name and email address which I found out was already used on your website, I guess he is running out of fake emails or something!
Ralf Williams [[email protected]]
The email that he sent to me is as follows:
Hello,
I'm looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable to work very well with good understanding as my Personal Assistant
I am Ralf Williams, a Successful Entrepreneur, investor and a research journalist .I travel a lot, within and outside the US working on
various independent projects, this is why I need an PERSONAL ASSISTANT, to keep up with all of my activities especially when i travel abroad.
Please note that you are being hired only on a personal level. All correspondences would be made and promptly reported to me personally.
The position is part time and home-based meaning you can work most times from your home as long as you have a regular internet access.You are also hired on a trial basis for now until we are able to see how well we fit in, this however does not affect your weekly wage.
Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official packages will be delivered via posts. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my assistant amongst other things will include;
* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them as they come up;
* Carrying out specific projects and research;
* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
* Handling and monitoring financial activities.
* Processing and taking charge of weekly payments and purchases.
* General clerical activities.
Basic wage is $600 a week. Any extra personal expenses (transport,gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working Month.This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing,just bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them . There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I am currently in Dubai , for business .However, I do have a number of work you can get done, prior to my arrival.
Due to the excessive number of responses to my Ad, do provide the following details about yourself for my personal record update and to filter applicants;
Your Full Name:
Street Address: ( Not PO . BOX )
Apartment Number: ( IF ANY )
City: State:
Zip Code
Country: united state
Cell/Home phone number:
[color=#4000FF]Age:
Present working Status:
E-mail Address:
Reply Back by sending your full address information to this e-mail address only
I hope you can be available for me immediately before I arrive, it certainly can act as a stable foundation to our impending working relationship.
Regards,
Ralf Williams.

Ok, I kinda highlighted & underlined some of the parts that threw up red flags for me! I mean seriously, your going to hire someone P/T and give someone you don't know access to your financial accounts in order to receive and make payments?!?! NO SMART BUSINESS PERSON DOES THIS!
How can anyone seriously be expected to start doing such personal stuff for either a person or a business PRIOR to his/her arrival and without an interview IN PERSON!
And I guess lastly, I was under the impression that age was something that wasn't supposed to be asked for when it comes to employment, it may be ok, however, with all of the other information that this person wanted it made no sense, especially as this person is responding to us when we sent him/her our resume's. If he would have actually looked at our resume's which a person actually looking for a personal assistant would do, then he/she would be able to guestimate our ages according to our work history and experience!
