Company Representative scams, Payment Processing scams and other Employment scams.

Yes, got another one in my mail today with funny code at the bottom.
Seems to be a scammer using a legitimate company, though I haven't checked.
The usual dodgy salary claims and odd email addresses (none of them mine!) sent my alarm bells ringing. There's even an address!

Hello Moogle,

Yes, I too received that e-mail, supposedly connected with WoodCGO Ltd, but with the return address in Athens, Greece. Mine arrived 12.17.40 on 14 July 2010.

[email protected] is my original job application account....& has been often spammed/scammed before. Mostly by Chinese exporters, which I can ignore.

This Greece scam looks more sophisticated.

Will later attempt an e-mail to Microsoft UK. All my 'Marked as Junk' e-mails are automatically reported already. But, sometimes, a more personal e-mail might be wise.

Job application e-addresses are very useful to scammers......the owners are regular users, & (in UK) there are easily 10m CVs & assocoated e-addresses sloshing around. Such provide a gold mine for spammers/scammers. And massively annoying for the genuine owner!

Regards,

Alan

I have just received the same e-mail, the only difference is the sender name and the code at the bottom.

Another one, seemingly a job notice but with suspicious absence of company mail addresses, reference numbers, undersigned name and function, etc.
After a large scrolldown white space the following code:
d99e25ce8543e25210786b0ea728158d, repeated 8 times.

The company was Wood-C Limited (same address in Greece, some differences in spelling)

If I were working with this company, I would be seriously annoyed.
