Capitan Susasi Malike,
==========================================

A questionnaire was enclosed in DOC format, asking questions about the applicant's family background, probably intended to act as a test of an applicants' English ability. The questionnaire is convincing-looking, but seems to talk about placements on land in the UK, nothing to do with sailing.

============================

A few hours later, the following email was received:

Dear <NAME> ,
We have received your signed appointment letter and it has been recorded to your application file number of 2011/UK/FEB/SEA/6311. So therefore to proceed further , attached to this mail is your Invitation Letter.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the information about this scam. I received this generic email as well. I am curious, what's the actual point of sending these fake emails, what does this 'captain' actually get out of the victims? Can he really steal the money from your account? Is there anything else he may want?

Hello Kafka and welcome to ScamWarners.

The scammer is after stealing your money by way of fees for visas and work permits. They will not touch your bank account, just get you to send fees by Western Union.
