I had only three days ago applied for a job listed on Monster.com when today I received my first junk email fake real job type offer of employment.
Here's the email from a supposedly Tiffany Redmond offering me an amazing salary as a "Check Assist Manager". I don't believe this email has any realness to it whatsoever...but I am very disappointed that anyone can buy email address lists and pass them off as fake jobs to those really searching for work today. I wish, I just wish there was a way to shut them down...but for now I guess we just have to expose these types of emails for what they are and hope others are not taken in for the job offer when this is not a real job from a real person or real company.
Anyway, enough of my blather, here's that email below:

Just got the exact same email today (10/25/10) after putting my resume on HotJobs. Mine came from "bright Beach". I just feel bad for the people who are unaware of these scams.
I received the same email; 5 of them with 5 different names. When the email mentioned the checks would go through my bank account, I figured that would not be all that came out of my checking account.
I just got the same e-mail on 11-18-2011 and I have been a victim before DONT BE FOOLED ......When I received the check for being a mystery shopper I went to the bank and the teller told me this was a fraud check....
Just received a similar email:
