I suppose it is a scam?...

I suppose it is a scam?

Yep! It's a scam, sorry to say!

Crispy Duck is correct - a definite scam.

Please see this other nearly identical scam attempt from last month;

It is sad that there are rounding emails that tells you to send them your Resume or Biodata. We all know that information’s that are listed in these documents are all important and critical. I just hope that there are more people that will be informed of this scam and be alert that they should not send their Resume right away.

Thankfully, most scammers don't make use of the info you provide and only ask for it to sound important and see if you're willing. It's not a great idea to give it out, but it's not as big a problem as most people think.
