Hello:

Hope this message finds you well!

I received your resume from our recruiter on Linkedin and wanted to send a quick note your way. Not sure of your current employment status and your short and long term career goals, but we have openings at our new United Kingdom establishment that might be a great next step for you. Can you take a look with us, if interested you can contact me on [email protected].

Our desire to hire foreigners fits our company’s strategic hiring needs for a diverse workforce. It is also due to our urgent need for experienced expatriates to join our United Kingdom team with immediate effect.

The company provides fully serviced accommodation, competitive benefits and salary, paid periodic vacations and will arrange relocation (with family, if necessary) amongst a host of other incentives.

If not interested in the role or if now isn’t a great time for a move, just let me know if I can help in the future or if you need assistance in making a connection.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

A legitimate office in UK would not have a 4470 phone number. Those are redirect numbers, used most often by scammers who are pretending to be in UK when they are not. A legitimate business in UK would have a legitimate UK phone number.

Looks like we have a fake domain here as well, opened only 6 weeks ago:

Domain Name: SBOIL-PLC.COM
Registrar: ENOM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.enom.com
Referral URL: http://www.enom.com
Name Server: NS10.NLKODDOS.COM

^You forgot to mention the hidden registrant. Scammers use those all the time. The domain is in the process of being reported for fraud.

Hello all. I received the same email from this company and this guy take a look.
