Just when I thought a week would go by before receiving any new emails with fake job offers and employment, I received the one below.
This one is kind of funny because the alleged salary is different for someone that has an MBA degree versus someone who doesn't have a diploma.
I wonder if you could scam the scammer and said you had an MBA degree when you didn't since this is one way of many the scam is written to appear more legitimate.
Below is the verbatim email. I will revisit it more tomorrow:

Even though I know this is a scam too, it's nice for you to take the time and post the emails you receive at least for those of us who check out the names that go with it. It at least helps us a little unsure go with our instincts, search it out and find out someone else agrees a job is a scam. I am trying to find out why our government isn't really interested in these scams. If I hear back, I will let you know. Thanks for all you do.
P.S. Anyone get a website on this company yet? Seems like most scammers create a web site just to try to make themselves look more legit when they aren't!!
Here is another one...
