Hello!
At the beginning of me pestering Arrow Financial Group. After attending the Forum on scamwarners.com / forum, I realized that this scam, and they left me alone. Now apparently they changed their image and sent a proposal from some Northern Petroleum. Perhaps it is the same scam, just a different color.
That's what they wrote:

    Somehow they got my data, since they refer to the EURES, where I am registered as a job seeker. Even without knowing how to protect yourself from spam scams!
    Sorry for my not perfect English! :oops:

    Northern Petroleum plc is a bona fide UK company.

    Information on them here.

    The problem with the mail you received is this

    from Northern Petroleum [email protected]
    reply-to [email protected]


    The domain the mail came from appears regular, but has probably been 'spoofed' because you aren't replying back to that domain. Your mail will be re-directed to northpet.tk.

    http://www.northpet.tk/

    is a fraudulent copy of the real domain

    http://www.northpet.com/

    It's a good thing that you checked it out and I'll post it in the fake sites part of the forum for the 'site killers' to handle.
