It is a scam. Legitimate companies do not use Gmail addresses and +4470 redirect phone numbers. Only scammers do that.

Thank-you for posting hedonistsk.
Yes indeed it is a scam. The phone number of 447024016311 has been used in many previous cruise type scams.
The particular phone number has been used that often it would make you head spin. The page at http://www.linkedin.com/groups/attentio ... .114317406 is a good example.
Scroll to the base of the page. Is the phone number looking familiar?
Also MSC Cruises would not be using a gmail address for making contact. It would be best to simply stop all communications with the trickster.

Welcome to Scamwarners hedonistsk.

It is indeed a scam and you can tell from the phone number beginning '4470'. Though 44 is the UK country code, the number 70 indicates that the call is redirected to another number which can be anywhere else in the word.

You would never ever be able to be offered a job with that sort of salary without a face to face interview and, even then you wouldn't get a salary of that amount for that job. Many qualified doctors don't earn that amount.

On top of that, the writing is West African. No one offering a job in the UK would write like that.

IT IS SCAM, MY FRIEND..

It's a scam. +44702... is a phony number, the writer is African, and a bunch of questions downloaded and answered written is not an interview.

thank you!
