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!!

I wish I would have seen this before. I got hurt and laid off my job after 4 years. I applied everywhere and then I received and email like the ones you all posted. The HR rep used Natalie Horton and gave me a New York phone #. I looked up there website and called the international #s and it all seemed legitimate after I read the entire site and saw the supposed pictures of he people I spoke to. So I like the dumb one responded, filled out ppw, and literally worked for this scam place for a month. Packages did come, they emailed me, they paid for shipping labels, they even sent me a US check for extra supplies. I opened the packages and took pics of everything but it was all what it said it was form tea sets, to play station 3 to BMW exhaust system. I kept every email, every reciept, every address and name to where they were shipped. It all seemed so legitimate and then when it came time for payday you had to give a SWIFT code etc for them to "wire transfer" your salary. I again like the dumb one gave it and they sent me what really looked like legitimate transfer to me to view and then of course money was never there. Well I waited a day as transfers from Poland can take 4 business days. I did not receive it so I knew it was a scam then. I immediately called "Natalie Hortons" phone that she had been answering and caling me from and now a guy from Poland answered and no Natalie, then Iwould send emails to the address and no response, and then today (2 days after all this bs) the emails to the email address no longer worked, and then I tried emailing the addresses on the actaul website that worked previously and none worked. I was scammed and luckily I kept job hunting and found a real one and thought Id keep this other on the side well not now. The website I was given and researched was www.BBOsales.com. You can go to the site and it has contacts, pictures, phone numbers and then the names of the people are all different names you all listed in the blog and the people are listed under sales, logistics, accounting, or HR. I hope no one else gets hurt by this scam. I was dumb but I hope this helps others from being dumb like me.
Hi there, awesome site. I thought the topics you posted on were very interesting
MBA-Shipping
I wish i would've seen this before. The person that offered the "job" was named Natalie Gittens from Poland. Due to a lack of money, I went ahead and accepted the "job". For a month, I received packages containing legitimate electronic merchandise such as Apple TVs, GPSs, and iPhones. The job was to forward said packages to the indicated destination, which was a "collecting center" somewhere in remote Russia. The "contract" says that they would pay me monthly and for 2 weeks now, I have not received compensation or another package or heard from this "Natalie Gittens" character. BEWARE.
