i remembered this one and decided to dig it up from my mail... the truth is that i have still no 100% proof its a scam but i am quite certain. and i was really close to falling for it, scanning my docs etc...
basically, a job ad on Craigslist said there is a travel representative job, it was written ok. altho, on hindsight, what kind of a well known (Belgium Express?) travel agency seeks for reps from CL, it was without direct contact info and names...(first flag)
anyway, i replied and sent my CV (yeah, with my name and address...). Kristen Thomas replied and didnt bother commenting on my CV or whatever else i wrote (2nd flag), just repeated the requirements and told me to fill their application forms and get back to me.

Hello xxx!
Thank you for getting in touch. We appreciate your inquiry. Attached is more information regarding employment with Belgium Exp...
The position you are interested in requires proficient English in both reading and writing and basic internet technology skills. If selected, you will be responsible for coordinating travel accommodations for travelers based from your country of origin. We are a company that takes a much different approach in our marketing and operational strategies, so we want to focus on assisting high-end travelers from Turkey in the U.S. The best way to do this is by providing them with a representative they are comfortable with and can relate to. You would be responsible for showing them around the D.C. area and assisting in whatever accommodations they may need.
Once you fill out the application and necessary documentation, we will determine whether you meet the qualifications for this position. We also would like to interview with you over the telephone and in person, in the D.C. Area. We will provide you with a pre-paid debit Visa card, so you can arrange your own transportation to the U.S. or pay for other expenses. I will also contact you via-phone and we can discuss further details.
To be considered for this position you must have a valid:
-Passport
-Drivers license/identification card
-Proof of address (utility bill)
These documents need to be scanned and sent via e-mail to: [email protected]
We have been in business for the last 10 years and are very well known in the area. Any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Again, thank you for your inquiry and best of luck!
