Perhaps a moderator should disable that link? I didn't download the application so I can't say if it includes some dangerous script . . . I don't wanna find out.

I had a look at the application form, this part stood out

Hidden Cost or Charges by applicant:

Note that Gower Inc does Not charge any kind of fee/ membership / or any kind of one time payment etc,
It’s a Fraud to charge any kind of payment before or after to applicant/ employee,
We are very against of this type of Scam,
So at Gower you can freely apply with confidence you dont need to pay any fee at any stage,

Which is a wee bit unusual, I agree that it is dodgy after all the website is only 4 days old

The application form is word-for-word identical with that of glen-inc.com (viewtopic.php?f=34&t=77810) except for the name of the company and a few other things.

The application claims it began in 2004, but it began a few days ago.

Mumbles: I have both applications up in LibreOffice in Linux. As far as I can see, they contain no macros.

Thanx for checking. I've used this install of Windows XP everyday since May 2005, without antivirus program, and I didn't want to mess it up just to see that document. ( I have used Spybot – Search & Destroy® 1.6.2, free, for the whole time -I should probably make a donation.)
