Scam, looking for money mules or package mules or some combination thereof.

*The site claims to be in Arabia, but is entirely in English.
International Cosmetics Est. (IC) is a multi-brand importer and distributor of cosmetics, hair care & prestige products in Saudi Arabia. IC main office and warehouse are situated in Jeddah; The Company serves many of the world's leading companies through various agreements, partnerships and joint ventures.

*The domain was registered on 2015-02-08. Companies don't grow that fast.

Thank you. First i suspected smth goes wrong is that not HR manager but CEO & Chairman by himself is looking for the assistant. and phone numbers seem to be suspicious.... Also he did not write the whole post address and i did not find in Google anything about this company, even addresses and other information....site is not full and there is not so many information expected...
thank you, i neededsomeone to support my suspicions. May be somebody finds smth else to proove it is a scam?

Weight and height would not be a concern by a legitimate employer when you're just applying for a job. AND any legitimate employer would arrange a face-to-face interview whether in person or video conferencing. Anyone claiming they do interviews through emails or instant messenger is a SCAM!

A US IP address does not mean that the scammers are located in the US. It could mean they are using a US-based proxy, or even just that their website is hosted by a US company. Based on their English, it is highly unlikely they are in the US.

Every email has headers. The headers we need are usually called the full headers or the extended headers. These headers are important because they help us to prove that the scammers' domain is being used for fraud. In order to help you to find them, we will need to know what email provider you are using that they sent the email to.

Full or extended Headers look like this:

look at the links at the bottom of my post for more info on complete headers ( extended, full, they have a lot of names).

This may get you started finding them.
Detecting the Gmail headers is very simple but the process depends on the version of the email client.
For HTML Version:

Log in your email account.
1) Click the email you want to read.
2) Click on "Show Original" on top of the email body.

After steps 1 and 2;
Click on the arrow beside the "Reply" button on the upper right side of the email. ( You may need to click the "More" button next to the reply button).

Additional actions for the email will appear. Click on "Show original"
