Just for Fun / Oh those Wacky Scam Artists!
« on: June 15, 2009, 03:03:12 pm »
While I was applying for jobs online, I received an email from an offer that seemed far too good to be true.  I've done eBay for over 10 years not, so needless to say I can smell one of those mass mailing scams from miles away.  I sent back a polite response at first just in case it was a valid offer and began to test them.  Hope you enjoy the zinger I sent them at the end!

Hello Rebecca,

First and foremost thank you for your lightning-quick reply!  I am very much interested in the position you are describing and feel that it is quite certainly right up my alley.  I must admit, I am somewhat of a computer nerd at heart, so the prospect of working in this type of profession definitely appeals to me.  I've worked in online technical support, billing and accounts for ISP services since the age of fifteen, also working weekends instructing the elderly from my mother's choir group in MS Word document formatting and general OS proficiency.  Since then, I have had well over 7 years of professional experience in both online and technical fields.  Web development, online sales, Point of Sales systems and customer account management are all second nature to me!

Please send me as much pertinent information about this position and the company you work for ASAP so that I can review the credentials of your corporation and attain a deeper understanding of the expectations for this position.  What is the name of this company, for starters?  How long has it been in business?  Where are your offices located, and when would be a good opportunity to set up an interview in order and meet face-to-face?  I can be available as soon as Tuesday, June 16th onward.

I look forward to hearing more from you, and thank you for your valuable time.

-John

No thank you.  Switzerland is a bit of a commute for an interview, and I don't work for people I have never met face-to-face.  Too much potential for data mining and identity theft, especially when one transmits personal info and bank data "to get paid" over the internet to complete strangers.  One could then easily use said information online and perform direct wire transfers, emptying out the victim's account and issuing themselves credit cards and loans in their name.  This is particularly a risk when an employer has a free yahoo.com account rather than a corporate or paid domain name, and there is no mention whatsoever of their company anywhere on the internet.  Good luck in your endeavors.

PS: I would suggest in the future that you target people who are currently employed as they have more money to siphon.  Sure we unemployed folks might be easy targets as we are desperate and most are willing to do or believe anything to get a job, but it's kind of like stealing candy from 100 babies instead of picking the pocket of a single rich man.  I can assure you that you will get far greater profit from one wallet than 100 lollipops.  (I could send you some debt and credit card bills perhaps)  Have you read up on a Mr. Charles Ponzi?  It might be worth your while.
