below are excerpts from anunsolicited email i replied and asked for more details and recieved the bottom excerpt does this sound dodgy to anyone ??



Your Job will be; Handling all applications with regards to new
clients that will like to register a company in UK, you will be
working from your home, receiving documents from clients to your
address via post. these documents are meant to be filed, stamped and
send to us as instructed at every Friday of the week.

You shall be receiving files from maximum of 3 clients
weekly,depending on the numbers of clients who apply for incorporation
services at a particular time.Your salary/wages will be paid directly into your bank account that
work with our organization,so i hope you understand as it was
explained above.

Before we go ahead to process your application, you are to provide or
setup a bank account with Halifax or Bank of Scotland (HBOS) for the
receiving of your salary/wages, if you have an existing account with
either of the banks i guess you can start working as soon as your
employment letter is being mailed to you.

    If you have copied and pasted that the grammar is terrible, dump it. Anything unsolicited which asks for your bank details is a scam, do not go there.
