The following email was forwarded to me by a concerned visitor to Scamwarners.

In this scam, there will be fees and charges in order for you to begin work, the "company will suggest they are paying some of the fees however everybody they refer you to that will confirm this is a part of teh scam.

2 signs of the scam are;

The large company that uses free email addresses, smaller construction companies may possibly use free email providers but never large companies like this one

The use of the 4470 phone number, 4470 numbers are UK redirect phone numbers, these numbers can be set up by anybody from anywhere in the world, calls to these numbers will redirect to the owners location, in this case most likely Africa.

Keep in mind that scam companies can and do sometimes use non 4470 UK numbers and they will often create fake websites to get a more realistic email address

Another sure sign that this is a scam is that the initial email has been sent from a different address to the one that you are asked to reply to. This is because the initial email address is likely to get shut down fairly quickly for spamming.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
