Welcome to Scamwarners. I wouldn't worry about that, as it's your money he's after. He only asked for it as a real employer would have.

Will you Please send to me your e-mail adress? I think this is not correct.

SO this is a real job?? or is Scam???.

Hi amana,

As indicated by Chris Fuller in their original post, this is a scam.

If you want to email us, then both my and Arnold's email addresses are in our respective signature lines.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Please also note that the photographs sent by this scammer are not really photographs of his own family; they are Public Domain photos of models which he has downloaded from the internet. You can find them on several websites; here is one example:
