Here's another spam/job scam email I received supposedly from Beyond.com. Beyond is another one of those job sites, in my view that offer you positions but they don't really exist. What Beyond.com really wants you to do is return to school so they can market your interest to other companies.
Here's the latest job scam:

A few comments if I may...
I wonder why you must be over 21 years of age. I think if you can fall for a scam you can do that at even as young as 16 years of age.
I really do like the quote, "We are keen to hear from talented individuals with proven experience in sales or marketing and ready to offer a brilliant development program for the right candidate."
If it was a real job it sounds very interested and in line with my experience. But sadly it's not.
What do you think?
P.S. I still monitor posts because of spam I approve posts even if I don't agree with the content. If you attack me personally more than likely I won't post your snarky behavior because I don't see the point.
Have a good week and weekend coming up!!

This one came to my email yesterday. It lists a 646 area code number, which always goes to voicemail. They never call back. The toll free fax number goes to a fax machine, but who knows where that will end up. Probably receiving stolen goods and shipping them to Nigeria. No thank you!
I have been getting stuff from them for 3 months or so. When i first recieved this their name was different,but the phone numbers were the same. They asked to do a web cast interview, which i accepted as i have heard of others doing the same for long distance relationships. The web interveiw was with about 1000 people so I knew then it was a scam, and then found out you need to pay them prior to starting work. A "good faith gesture" based on the training they were going to provide. In most states that is against the law unless there is a license requirement for employement, and even then if they provide the training they cannot charge you. If you have to take classes, like real estate, you take them from an outside source. Anyway, they have been sending me emails weekly now since. TOTAL SCAM.
