Yes, please be weary of this scam. In the beginning there wasn't even a website to go to, and it wasn't until some time after the e-mails were sent that the website appeared on the world wide web.

In addition to the comments about the "qualifications", the website shows no "real" information about the company, and the address points to a building in Florida that has a bunch of suites. Try calling the number ... for a laugh.

This is a scam! Go to City of London Investment Group's website (http://www.cityinvestmentgroup.co.uk/business.htm) and then go to "Horrocks Invest Ltd." website. (http://horrocks-invest.com/index-1.htm)

Looks similar? Actually this guy just copied all of the information off of the city investment group website (which is a legit business) and then put it on his own website and called it his own (Horrock's Invetst LTD). Looks pretty sketchy to me.

They are offering jobs and asking for your resume. After you give them that they ask for your bank account numbers from an existing bank account or a new bank account. This guy is nothing but a phony.
