Nearex - a scam?

Esqui

Hi, it's rare I venture into this section of this board, but I hope you can help!

My boyfriend today received an email from a company called Nearex, saying they'd saw his CV on Jobsite, and that it fitted their needs completely. It also asked him to send a CV to them (why, I have no idea if they've already seen it).

They have a website: nearex.com , but a google search brings up no results for them, and looking up on Whois brings nothing for the domain.

Just wondering if anyone here has come across this before...my scam alarm is working overtime.

Hi, I just got one of those too....it went straight in to my junk box so I just deleted it! I did the same and couldn't find the website, so I think avoiding it would be the best option!

Hi, I've just got sent one too. I'm going to do a bit of digging and will also post on LinkedIn to see if anyone there has seen the same.

I have also received a similar email and went to the website and it looks like a scam - perhaps some sort of money laundering activity.

Mr_Oink

The domain is registered in Russia. My best guess - scam - I only ever see Russian IP's and domains in spam and scams, never legitimate business. However, if the OP lives anywhere near Severodvinsk, Arkhangelskaya oblast Russia, it's probably safe :-)

Do yourself a favour and avoid this very recently created Russian website, it will ask for you loads of details about you, no doubt including your mothers maiden name and bank details to "pay" you and I would not be surprised if it asks for a password to access your membership with nearex. Bearing in mind a lot of people use the same password they will then have very valuable data on you

His websites come up on google with warnings about Malware so it could be a way of him getting malware, a trojan or virus onto your pc so please do not download anything from any of his websites

He owns over 200 domain names http://whois.domaintools.com/enactoutput.com

Mr_Oink

I like the game you can play with the whois. Where's waldo......
