And did send me the must hilarious "contract" in attach

[phantom]

I received email from this "company" today

but it looked to me suspicious

and the domain they were providing doesn't even exist...

so I decided to make a little research, and I found this forum

[christoph]

thank god for this forum, i got the email regarding EPS and seemed to good to be true so did a little looking round and found this. thankfully i never sent any infomation other than a simple email asking for more information. hope everyone else who gets a job offer such as this or gets a suspicious email has the sense to do some research, as they say 'if something seems to good to be true it usually is'.

[nearlycaught]

Hey Ho- Thought this was a great answer to my problems. Great job through totaljobs.com - fortunately thought it might be too good to be true and - Hey ho- it was!!!!!! Thank you so much for this forum and site!!! Good Luck to everyone trying to earn an honest crust.

Nearlycaught and welcome to Scamwarners.

Love your username

I am glad that you have been able to get some answers and avoid being scammed by the information posted here.

If you find any more suspicious emails, please dont hesitate to ask

[sallieann]

Good job i looked into the eps luxury goods email from total jobs as been scammed b4, surely total jobs know about this happening and to stop other people nearly being caught

[bexbubble16]

Oh my god i got the email too. i was so excited but so thankful i found this site before i did anything. The contract seems so real but they must have just got it off the internet. Im 16 years old and luckily i was smart enough to do some investigating before i did anything. Unlike many 16 year olds that would have happily sent their details away willy nilly because ive asked them. They never sent me the attachement so i emailed them back and visa versa. I am now so tempted to row with them for trying to scam me, i am infuriated.This is what they sent me.

For those of you concerned about EPS and the possible scam....it is confirmed. Here is the email I received from Total Jobs today confirming the scam.
Hello


You recently contacted us regarding an email you received from EPS.

Welcome to Scamwarners.

would love to know why Total Jobs are giving out my details to fake employers!!
[/i]

Total Jobs are investigating according to the email they sent to tracker above.
Scammers lie, so it's possible they got your email address somewhere else. Are you job-hunting on-line apart from with Total Jobs?
If a scammer sends out enough emails falsely claiming to have got your details from T J, to job-seekers' addresses found elsewhere, some will be received by people registered with them.

Thanks to this site, i also found out about the scam before i returned the document, which was this morning in UK.

So its still running after a long time, i was lucky in the fact that i notice no small print at the bottom of the email, which being both partly sighted and colour blind i noticed easily. Plus like a few others have done i checked the soause code.

Now i am a member here, i will post with full details if another scam comes by way
