Selling Certificates Inc. Job Email Scam

Thanks for the recent comments.

Here's another email in my box with yet another fake job offer. Like others I do wish I knew which account these scammers find my information from so I can take it offline. So far I'm not sure if there is one or it is just random spam/scam/junk emails.

So here's another offer just way too good to be true...I find it funny the email is from a fake name of Torrence Ramsay but the person supposedly writing this job offer is Patricia Pepper. Do these scammers think we are that naive? I guess so....anyone with news about these types of job offers, please feel free to give comments. I do moderate comments but any and all will be published here in the blog for everyone to see.

Also notice how easily this Patricia person makes this company out to be contacted. Now only it was true and they did include an actual telephone number.

And $125, 000 a year? Wow, now if it was true...that's GREAT money.

Alas, it's fake and in my personal belief over 100% scam...

See what you think below:

Torrence Ramsay

I received the same email this morning, except my email was from Katie Glime,

The part that cracked me up was the "2 week holiday on the resorts of Poland". Yeah, that's where I always go for my holiday, LOL!

I just signed up for a couple of new job websites and I suspect one of them may be the culprit.

Thanks for posting.

I received the same scam email, which I noticed had been reported on ripoffreports.com but as coming from Nigeria. Here's the email I received:

I got one from an "Ilona Aldredge," though signed by Katie Glime. I also enjoyed how they noted that "if you are an MBA graduate, the raise in the salary is granted," when I most definitely do not have an MBA, so either they did not even look at my CV (and probably just took the email address), or they're pretty dumb. I think someone took a little more time making this, if it's a scam - I think it's written better than the "American Life Insurance" (or something like that) bull I keep getting, which is apparently a real thing, but soul-crushing to be a part of. Here's the version of the email I received:
