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.

As the email shows you above, they leave you a hyperlink to the ContactThem website for finding more about it. And once you’ve landed on the ContactThem website, you’ll find even more tempting information such as letting them place a link for a month on your website, you’ll get $4,800 a month, you’ll double for $9,600 per month for the second month, and even more that would double up for each month. This is really a super tempting scam!!

First thing on the ContactThem website, you’ll have noticed is the MLM style and viral marketing approach that the website is using. Of course, I was little tempted with the high offer for placing a link on my website for a month. But I was worried that if it was a scam or I would be treated into a blackhole that would jeopardize my website’s ranking, especially the Google Page Rank. That is why I wanted to do more investigation to search around over the Internet to find out if it was a scam. In fact, it is, after searching Google for “contactthem link scam” and I’ve then landed on Clicknewz.com, which tells me that ContactThem is trying to recruit you into the multi-tier affiliate program, by telling you that they’re interested to place a link on your website and pay you a tempting “$4,800 per month” for that link.

Of course, once I just received the above email on my Blackberry, the first common sense that came up in my mind was it’s simply “too good to be true”. But it’s kind of tempting that it managed to lead me to use my laptop to open my GMail, look for that email and click on the link to reach the ContactThem affiliate page to read more about it.

Along my searching over the Internet, the ContactThem kind of email is supposed to be treated as a spam. But I’m not sure why such a kind of email managed to pass through the GMail spam filtering. So when you’ll get the chance to see this email, immediately delete it as it’s definitely one big SCAM!
