Hi I applied for a job online and the job is for Kern County, where Im from in california but their headquarters is in london and they want me to relocate for 5 months and do my training there. Idk if its a scam. They want me to sign a contract and its a contract stating my job duties and benifits and vacation time. Once I sign the relocation officer will contact me and they said that the company will pay for my working permit and relocation process


Your application has been considered and an appointment has confirmed. The company is pleased to offer you a position as a HUMAN RESOURCES ASSISTANT.

Please click on the attachment to download your Contract Letter. If in agreement with the terms set out, you are expected to endorse your signature in the space[s] provided. Signed pages should be scanned and sent to us via email. The offer will remain valid for 7 days from the postmark date, and during this time we will be available to answer your questions and give you all the information you need to help you make your decision. We will also be able to assist and advise when you’re completing your relocation process.

Failure to forward scanned page[s] within the time given may be implied as a rejection of the offer.

Once you’ve accepted the job, a relocation advisor will be assigned to help you through your relocation process, and we will send off all the information needed to process your application.

Last week these scammers claimed to work for ENOC, this week Tower Resources. Amazing how the name changes but the scam doesn't.

Look familiar?

There email domain tower-resources.com is offline so they are using gmail. A legitimate company would not be use a free email service for official business.

It is ALWAYS a scam

Ultimately, their goal is to charge you advance fees for a job that doesn't exist. Just drop all contact with them. If you haven't given them your banking account information or anything confidential, nothing else is needed. If you have given financial information, contact your bank or financial institution to find out if there are any other steps recommended.

I received the IDENTICAL email just 2 weeks ago (just saw it today for the first time) ... supposedly from a company named Aurelian Oil & Gas ... which is a legitimate company, but I knew the "offer" was very suspicious as they offered me a HUGE salary (compared to my experience level ... 3 times what I made at previous job!) and offered it to me without even having spoken to me not one time ... not to mention that I don't have experience in the position they are "offering." This is where the email to me came from ...
From: Human Resources <[email protected]>
... looked VERY legitimate. And the "contract" they sent sure looked very legitimate, too ... someone has "done their homework" to try to pull off a good scam. I think they must've actually "pulled" a real employment contract and just "doctored it up" with their own details (of salary, etc.). But when I started checking, I could find no address or any other information for that company located in the city and state in which they claimed this job was ... another red flag. Glad I dug a little further and came upon this site, to confirm my suspicions that this was not legitimate. Apparently, they use legitimate companies (for their letterhead information) so that if all you do is look up the company to make sure it exists, you will find out that it does and then maybe believe everything is on the up and up. But looking up the phone number is what enabled me to find out the truth.
What can we do to try to get these crooks nailed? Anything?

aurelian-oil.com is fake and email-only. The real site is aurelianoil.com. Please post the emails with complete headers so that we can kill the fake domain.
