    You're right, it is full of English errors, I only scanned it TBH.

    Something made you think it was a scam though. You wouldn't have posted here otherwise.

    So listen to that doubt that made you post and the amount of people telling you it is 100% a scam. Just delete the email and move on.

    Hopefully this thread will mean no one else falls for this either if they look up the company.

  • I also received this job offer and can tell you it is 100% a scam, confirmed by Total Jobs after I contacted them about the dodgy email from one of their supposed recruiters. Total Jobs and my email provider are now pursuing the scammers.

    What I did find was on another site. It states that the site IP location is Moscow.

    I know you're trying to help, but I posted that over 2 weeks ago.

    Anyway, Russia is an entire country so I don't see why you'd say it's a scam place. Scams take place there like anywhere else. There are plenty of legit businesses and genuine people there too.

    on your JOB_OFFER.doc, at the end, there is a photo (supposedly from Raymond Clair - Employment Manager of the DouglasFinancial).

    The photo belongs, in fact, to Dr. Szentes Tam!s.

    Please, have no doubt that this is a scam. Block sender and never look back.
  • Hello,

    today (fri 27th nov) i received the same email. it was pretty tempting as I'm currently unemployed but i knew immediately it had the stench of SCAM!

    was assigned your Regional Coordinator and you'll be working under my
    supervision.

    In order to join our team you have to confirm your intention to work with
    us by filling in and sending us the contract and the application form
    (please see it enclosed).

    The procedure is as follows:

    1. Please register at this link to receive a personal account in our
    online system:


    2. Download the contract at this link

    Please read it carefully, fill in the required fields, sign it and send it
    scanned back to e-mail:

    You can use the following documents as proof of identity: passport or
    driving licence.

    Choose any document and send it with your signed agreement.
    You can also fax your application. Our fax number is +49 (0)69 25577541

    3. Please note that some e-mails may enter your junk folder and may delay
    our process of communication. Please add my e-mail address to your
    filter/safe list to ensure that you receive our e-mails without any delay.

    You will become our official employee and receive your first assignment as
    soon as this is done.

    Note:
    Please read and fill in all the forms very carefully to eliminate possible
    malfunction of your account. After the registration you will be put in the
    waiting list for activation of your employee account, which is necessary
    to start the job. The approximate time is about 1-2 days, so just wait for
    a response, please.
