Is this job alert a scam from [email protected]?

This is the email I received this morning. I am on a lot of job search sites at the moment. Is this a scam? I'm from NSW, Australia. IP search says it's from Romania but not 100% sure.

Best regards.

Standard recruiting approach for Eastern European gangs looking for money mules to move their stolen money.

Stay far, far away from it.

Thanks heaps for that

Just to second that, it's a standard recruitment/money mule scam. Stay away unless you fancy prison life

Hey pantherette,

I received this email too. I'm curious, what jobs did you apply for? And with which agencies? I've got a list of the jobs I applied for (I only applied for roles with seek) maybe we could cross-reference? All the ads I applied for seemed legit, with verifiable offices.

^^^ There is a great chance that the OP will not return.

If you have questions please ask.

I will say that if you do meet your employer face to face consider it a scam.

I have applied for a few jobs with agencies, but I am mostly applying for jobs direct. If there is a company name mentioned, I go to their website and check it out if it's legit plus their careers section, to see if the job is listed there also. The agencies that I have sent my resume to in the last month are: Removed endorsement (BW) The rest have been direct. I also have resume listed with Seek, CareerOne, MyCareer etc.
