Oooo, A 'Job Offer'

The following just arrived, via email.
Yeeeah. Sounds like a doozy!
I will probably ignore it, but, the devil in me is really wanting to screw with them.
We’ll see, depending on my mood after I ingest a couple cups of coffee.
I felt that I had to share it with the Dopers, though.
Enjoy:

I don’t know, you young people are just far too fussy nowadays. That’s not a mere job, that’s a fantastic OPPORTUNITY!! And you’re just too cynical and jaded fer’ your own good.

:smiley:

That’s strange - the sales company seems to be located in a residential property in a housing subdivision. Maybe they need your assistance to move into larger premises?

Um…yeah…I work in finance, and that’s a money laundering scam…I’d bet that your bank would be reporting your new activity very quickly.

kambuckta, yeah. Fantastic opportunity, for sure! I think I’d LOVE to give out all that information to complete strangers, just to see what becomes of it.
I’ll bet they could do all sorts of cool stuff with it. :dubious:

jjimm, hey, cool link! So that’s where they’re saying the ‘office’ is, eh?
I’m sure they probably need all the help they can get, so they can get out of that apartment/house!
More like, ‘take the money and run!’ :rolleyes:

Great. Now I’ve got that stupid song stuck in my frickin’ head…

mmouse9799, yup. I’ll bet they’d on this one quick.

Do those idiots out there think there are people that are gullible enough to actually go along with this sort of crap?
It boggles the mind.

Yes, they do and they are right. That boggles the mind even more.

Death of Rats, so true!

Hey i received the exact same job offer, six months ago! But the only job board i am signed up with is through the our state government. sheesh.

chela, I wasn’t looking for a job at all.
Actually, I haven’t looked for a job for years.
I’m a houseleech (living off my wonderful husband!), and I intend to stay that way! :stuck_out_tongue:

More likely the “money order” is bogus, and you send off 90% of the face amount.
