    I decided to research it because it just seemed too good to be true, which is what led me to this forum. From the stories above it seems like it is from the same people who are obviously still operating. Can anyone suggest where I could maybe forward a copy of this email - someone who could take some action? Worth contacting Totaljobs.com themselves with it? Thanks

  • You are intelligent enough to post on here about it, and acknowledge the similarity to the other scams. Think about what you should do?

    The only reason you should reply is if you are an experienced scam baiter who fancies stringing them along. You shouldn't do this if you don't know what you are doing, as it can be potentially dangerous.

    Delete it or mark it as spam and move on. You are never going to be sent such a job opportunity out of the blue.

  • Of course it's a scam. Which part do you believe me a nanosecond could be real?
  • If you are offered a job without an interview then it is highly likely the job is a scam, unless potentially if it is for an unskilled role and your CV has been verified by the company

    If it is an unskilled role you will be getting paid minimum wage or there abouts.

    Any of these jobs offering good salaries, small working hours, no job interviews etc are all scams.
