remember the old scam about the african government ministry that said it was willing to pay you millions in exchange for helping them to transfer uber-cash in oil wealth to the states, and all they needed was your bank account to channel the money?
they're back, but with a new twist: they want to give you a job, but you have to handle all of the money through your bank. uh-huh. the posts are appearing on - naturally enough - craigslist. here's a peek at one (found listed under customer service):
We are in search of a special individual who will be the public facing evangelist for our great software and technology products. This person should be comfortable interfacing on a technical level with our product and services teams and at the same time be a dynamic public representative of these products and services to external, high-level business customers.Get back to us if you are interested in this job.
the addresses and company name all mention charlestoneltd, using hotmail addresses. you've got to admire these con artists for their sheer inventiveness. if they would just put that much energy into actually creating real jobs, they'd be able to make money and avoid prison.
has anyone seen any variations on this one yet?
