Hello guys, I was searching for job and I have sent some applications and received the following email. At the begging I fell for it and did the "interview" and I got "recruited" until they asked me to buy a Time Tracker device (which costs 5$) and send them the money via MoneyGram. Then I almost realised that it was a scam. However, I am curious why the price was just 5$. Btw, it's supposed to pay them on Monday. They also gave me a task to complete until then.

the email:

Hello Fpr0,
Thank you for posting the information on this scam. The best thing to do now is to stop all communications with this criminal by ignoring all emails and telephone calls.

ETA : See this thread on how to post photos. http://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219

If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
