International F.A.W.A firm.

[NotsoDumb]

This firm claiming to be the international F.A.W.A firm have been sending me constant emails from various hotmail accounts telling me I have a fantastic job lined up. I know it's a scam because I have had very similar messages from other false companies. Just thought I'd make people aware of this one.

If I remove my CV from any job sites that I'm registered with, will it stop the mails or not because they already have my contact details?

[Arnold]

It should reduce the number of scam emails, but I doubt they will stop.
Can you post the email addresses used by the scammers, and one of the emails please (less your personal info).

[NotsoDumb]

Here's an example of one of them. Note the reply email adress - [email protected]
They do have a website but there's only a description on google and my browser can't display the page.

Your concern NotsoDumb is why we exist, but there are some very clear reasons for anyone receiving that mail to know it's a dud.

The very least we can do is post copies of these scams up so that anyone making a Google search will come here and find out it's a scam.
