Hello again,

This is Tori Deely from Scott Dunn Company, Ltd. I sent you the package of the documents in MS Word and PDF formats few days ago.
Did you receive them? If not, I will resend the files again.
If you are ready, sign the documents and resend them to my fax or email box.
Please, confirm you have received this message and reply me as soon as possible..

Best regards,
Tori Deely

As far as I know, my mother never initiated the contact and this was the 1st contact made by the scammer. I checked the net and did find that Scott Dunn Company is a legit company based in London, UK and specializes in Luxery Vacations. Right away, you will notice that the e-mail address that this was sent fom is "[email protected]" and maybe at first glance may look legit. But....most companies will have thier own server for e-mail and the company name should be AFTER the "@" symbol not before it. I have yet to figure out how to post the documents that were sent as PDF and MS Word so I just copied and pasted them here. These documents appear very professsional with some grammer mistakes. If anyone would like to bait these characters or help me to, that would be much appreciated. I would really hate to see somebody down on their luck unemployed get taken by these criminals.

Here's the "Travel Coordinator" job description:

I'm sorry your time has been wasted by the fraudulant scammer who's impersonating Tori Deely. Through no fault of her own, she is now a victim too. It is unfortunate that fake employment scams are littered throughout the forums. The gmx domain (global mail exchange) is simply a free web based email programme anybody can access. Much like yahoo and hotmail, for example.
A well established company would not use such an application.
The same above mentioned facsimile number has been used in a previous scam of this nature, dated February 2012. In that instance the thief used the name David Cole working for Scott Dunn travel.

I got pretty much the exact same thing in my email. Except it was called Scotts travel management Ltd. Same pay, same offers. Claimed they found my resume on monster.com and that I matched their qualifications. SCAM!! The job duties alone don't constitute the need for the position, why send money oversees to someone only to send it to the company? Why not directly send it to the agency itself... Because it would be to easy to track & find. I almost fell for it myself, I could use 3000 a month. Lol. Don't fall for anything through email that offers a job, unless you made initial contact.

Please post the current email address and telephone number that is being used in this scam.

It is ALWAYS a scam
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
