What a good morning that an email dropped into my BlackBerry telling me that a fairly simple online job that would pay me $3,500 a month. It definitely sounds very attractive. And I almost wanted to key in all my info and make a reply. But after thinking further, it really sounds too nice to be true. $3,500 a month and what it needs to you to do is some simple data entry work and you’ll need to possess only some basic accounting skill.
First thing that put me little hesitant was $3,500 and even they say you need only basic accounting skill, could probably mean that you need more than the basic. And I’m not confident in my accounting skill, but of course, I’m quite aware what credit and debit are all about. And of course, the second thing is it sounds too good to be true.
So, when I got on my laptop, and connected to the Internet, logged on to my GMail account to read further with a much wider screen. And then just copied the three words, which are the company name “Grandy’s Epack Corporation” and pasted on Google’s search box. Wow, 2 out of the top 5 results obviously tell me that it’s a job scam. Therefore I immediately deleted the email and forget about it.
If you’re interested in what the content of the email, besides the screenshot attached above, I’ll just spell out some here. It says the company
Grandy’s Epack Corporation is announcing about a job opening in the company. The software developer now having their clients in different globe spots located needs Financial Representatives to help handle money flow and save both time and efforts of their clients.
So, by becoming the middle man as a financial rep of their software development team, you’ll get at least $3,500 per month. And what you need to do perhaps only how to handle money transactions for them etc. As the requirement is you’ll need a bank account that accepts money transfer and able to resend money via Western Union…..
Okay, that is enough, it’s a scam, as the top few searched results saying that it is. And seems like no positive comments about this job scam. So, if you received the same email, just trash it or better mark it as spam first, so next time your spam filter will be able to catch it before it drops into your mailbox.
