Coca Cola Employment Scam

[Blondie]

Hello Everyone,

Just to let you know,I too have received this email about a position with the Coca Cola Bottling company. I didn't feel it was very "LEGIT" so I decided to handle it alittle differently than just ignore the person. I happen to live within 10 miles from one of their processing plants,and wouldn't you know my car just "HAPPEN" to pull into that plant yesterday and that email just "HAPPEN" to have fallen right into the hands of the President of Operations....Dare,that paper...

Now who says real blondes can't use there brains...

I'm certainly glad there is info out about it. I suspected with all the typos, bad grammar, etc. It couldn't possibly be the work of a "Personnel Manager". It's scary knowing that someone out there has all this information about me and was able to send it to my e-mail address. Does anyone know what triggered this one?

[Jillian]

Hi MrJim and welcome to ScamWarners. While I'm sure it was a bit unnerving to have this specifically addressed to you, you needn't be too spooked by it. I have seen this before. Most likely your information is online somewhere and a clever scammer has used it for his mailings. To try to find the source of this, do some searches of your name and address in Google and see what you can find.

[brandywine]

Have never applied to them for anything...........figured I would check here first. Same scam but different name of the lady at the bottom.

Hi and welcome to Scamwarners.

This Job position is Temporary

That at least is true. The job ends when the check is found to be fake, or you get arrested. Or both.

Welcome to Scamwarners msolo.

Thank You for posting this information on this scammer.

It will alert and save others from being scammed. Well Done

You are quite correct - this scammer is not employed by Coca Cola and is using "fake" mail addresses to mislead.

[email protected] [email protected]

Note - research indicates that legitimate Coca Cola personnel have email addresses that generally go by firstinitial - lastname @na.ko.com. KO is Coca Cola's stock symbol.

[brandywine]

Removed my email address as posted in my signature line - Ralph @gmail.com is who it was sent from

[Ralph]

Hi Brandywine,

Could you please post the header from the email that appears to be from that email address.

It is possible to make your emails appear to be from wherever you like and obviously I am not sending scam emails out, kind of goes against what I do here.

If you dont know how to find teh headers please let us know which email provider you use and we can give you specific instructions.

By viewing the header we may be able to tell where the email came from as well as teh actual email address used to send it.

For now I will remove my email address to avoid extra spam in my inbox

[annemarie25]

Hi i applied for a job on kijiji and was expecting a telephone call and interview but when i confirmed my information i got an email saying payment sent to me. Now there is a package at ups for me. I don't know what i should do now that i know its not a legit job but an email thingy. do i accept package and return to sender do i take it to the police or am i already liable? HELP!!! I just was looking for a job and generally trust kijiji. it never occurred to me that this would happen.

[Chris Fuller]

Hello annemarie, and welcome to ScamWarners.

Don't worry: print out a copy of the email/s you received and take them along to your local police, and tell them what has happened. They will tell you what to do regarding the package.

I'm glad that you realised that this was not legitimate.
