My wife got one from this guy, and I did a search on the name. It came up with a number of places to go that confirmed it's a scam. He's got a few different things in it. Several versions. Not sure how he plans to get money from you by using it, but think about it...

He's going to give you a company car without ever having an interview with you? If he's actually going to do that, and pay you, I can imagine what his "products in high demand" are....

Cocaine, crack, extascy...

It is a typical Nigerian scam. They collect information about you and pool it from all the sources possible. Then when they have enough info they try to raid your credit cards, bank account etc.

Stay away.

I knew it was a scam, but didn't know what they did with it. I would suggest copying it and forwarding it to INTERPOL. That's what I do with them. Usually, I don't hear from them again.

I got one simular to that off a guy on Craigslist. Said he was was from England and looking for someone to drive his wife around while she was in town and would pay me $500 a week and pay for a rental car if I didn't have my own. If he was going to pay for the rental, why not have the wife drive herself and save himself the money? He said said he needed my full name, address, and a copy of my drivers license scanned in and sent to him (not sure if he wanted it mailed or e-mailed). Gave me an address. I looked it up and it was a little east of London. I still have the e-mail, but never responded.
I listed a video game on craigslist and someone who said they were from Ohio asked if I still had it and wanted my full name and address and my phone number, and said they would send me a check for the item. Felt like it was bs too, so I just deleted it.

I've never thought about doing that. I usually don't get those types of emails. For future reference.. If I receive an email that is a scam, how do I send it to INTERPOL? Do I just get their email address from their website?

Just for kicks and giggles...I googled the company name.

This is what I got.
