Sorry for the lack of posts but I've been away visiting family in another state.

I just got a slightly better worded version. How do you know the job doesn't exist? It's vague enough that it could just be bad English from a foreigner who's operating on a shoestring (hence ymail). However, I've dealt with a number of people in recent years whose e-mails made me think "scam", but who turned out just to be bad grammarians in legitimate lines of business.

The job just can't exist for a completely unrealistic salary of $5,000 to $10,000 a week with alleged bonuses provided. I guess I should copy the email addresses where these fake jobs come from that itself will show these jobs are not real. Besides the job itself does not show anything about the company...company name, website, telephone number or anything else. Also, I do not have a posted resume on Careerbuilder for them to find in the first place. It's just a vaguely written email that promises big money for little work. That in itself is a scam...poorly written or not, if they were legit you'd see a lot more than this poorly composed email to go on.
