Should I accept this offer of employment?

[GePap]

Anyone who writes this poorly needs to be hiring secretaries before they get to accountants.

[JohnT]

Is that the sound of GePaps house shattering?

I have to say, I think you should "join" the company, inform the cops, and see what they can find out...you never know, you might just help catch some scammers...you know, get some extra brownie points with the cops so that when you get that next speeding ticket...

Forward this to the local police department

Re: Should I accept this offer of employment?

Aside from being an obvious scam, what cracks me up is the English they use. Now if you are looking for a job you generally get used to the fact that employers will at least use a decent level of English...referring to "u" or "ur" or not capitalising "i" will make me frown upon the advert immediately...besides other spelling and grammatical problems...

It does amaze me that some people consider this lazy, sloppy, truncated form of writing somehow acceptable. If I got a letter from a potential employer, no matter how legitimate, written in this style, I would be very, very wary...

You aren't their target audience.

[Provost Harrison]

So it's to filter out a certain calibre of f**kwit gullible enough to haemorrhage money?

[Wezil]

Yes, I would think so.

[The Mad Monk]

Sounds reasonable.

[BeBMan]

This sounds like a great opportunity to become rich

@ people informing Monk this is a scam in all seriousness

I wasnt trying to inform him it was a scam, Id hoped to think he figured that out on his own. I was simply laughing at the fact that these scammers were idiots. And mention that if they were going to try and scam me at least have the decency to do it in better english.

And did you notice that the name of the company in the second paragraph and in closing are different? The company probably doesn't have much of a future if the CEO can't remember it's name.


Instead of your own contact information, send in the contact information of someone who deserves it:

Ming the Merciless
