New Job Offer :-)

Just received the following job offer by email. Can't believe my luck! :rotfl:

Hello Dear Candidate,

Having seen your CV that we gained from a staffing agency, we'd like to offer you a job.

We are a small independent company located in United Kingdom. The main field of our business is IT outsourcing services, including the search of clients for potential employees and matching the most ideal candidate for each company's request.

Two to three hours a day performing your duties over the Internet is sufficient for this position.

There are no start-up or any other costs. The company covers all the fees related to the hiring process.

We provide one month paid training period, during which you will receive online training and support as well as a regular paycheck. A personal supervisor guides your training. At the end of your training, the personal supervisor will make the final decision whether or not to extend a permanent offer. Your training is crucial to your success!

Your starting salary will be GBP 1,500 per month plus 8% commission from each transaction during the training period. Total income, given the current volume of clients, should be about GBP 4,500 per month. After the training period, base salary will be GBP 3,000 per month plus 8% commission.

My goal is to spark your interest. Given the present economy, our position offers training, support and a pay scale comparable to an entry-level position requiring 40 hours per week. I hope you will explore, compare, and then contact me with your questions.

To expedite the communication process, please fill in the required information below and e-mail me at: joposting.inuk@gmail.com.

    NO NO you are WRONG, it genuine - got the same letter and now earning 2'000 pounds a week.

    Quick send it back with Bank account details and personal information – Before they change their minds J

    And to sweeten the deal send a cash say 100 pounds too.
