From time to time I receive emails from my many readers offering me additional job scams to share with my reading audience.
Today I received one from someone I shall call Melissa to protect her identity. This is yet another investment scam.
Below is her email:

Dear Melissa,
My name is Natalie Cal, European Investments Enterprise.
Thank you for applying for our vacancy on LinkedIn.com.
We have reviewed your profile and think that you absolutely fit this position.
Let me tell you a bit more about the company and the position.
About
the company: EU Investments was founded in 2003 in Warsaw (Poland) to
help foreign private and corporate investors to choose investment
objects in Europe. Our clients invest in virtual certificates, virtual
currencies (such as bitcoin), real estate, and, especially, modern
Internet Startups.
Investments vary from thousands of dollars (in case of individuals
who purchase virtual certificates of precious metals and virtual
currencies) up to millions of dollars (in case of corporate entities).
From 2006 we’ve been actively developing and presenting our services to
Europe and Asia. In 2014 we are opening our branches in the US.
About the position: the company is interested in
"growing" its own professionals in this field who will find a place at
every level of the working process, ranging from virtual certificates
consultation to portfolio management. In this regard, restrictions on
the professional level are not presented but without a doubt we would
greatly appreciate you if you already have a similar experience (such as
account management, negotiating, etc.). During the first month of work
you will be presented to a personal manager who will oversee your
actions
As mentioned earlier this work could be considered as remote (work from home) and could be addition to your main work.
During
the first 2 months in this position workers get familiar with different
types of venture investments that our company deals with, they are
explained how to place orders for them, write reports, etc.
Requirements:
* working for 2-3 hours a day during the first month. Working about 3-4 hours after the first month.
* carrying out venture investments for clients
* creating investment reports
During the first month of work you will be presented to a personal manager to get a feedback and an advice for each your step.
You do NOT need to:
* invest your money
* have a deep investment knowledge (we'll give you the basics)
* find clients, make cold calls, etc.
On
the salary: beginner employees are guaranteed an annual salary of
$24,000. For owners of a scientific degree and MBA the base rate is
significantly higher. After passing a test in the first month of work
all authorized employees receive a cellphone in their own use (iPhone 5S
or Samsung Galaxy S4 to your taste + a contract paid by the firm) as
well as a Dell laptop or MacBook Air.
Along with a basic salary employees receive a commission on each
operation. Depending on success at the end of each quarter, an employee
receives a bonus.
On the professional
perspectives: in the upcoming 9 months we are planning to open 4 offices
in the U.S. (in the biggest US cities, including your city). If you do
not prefer working remotely we will be able to offer you a new position
in the office (it’s up to you). Heads of offices will be hired from the
most active and successful employees and everyone has a chance to lead
it.
Until May 2014 this position is fully remote.
I’m attaching an official job offer and I want to ask you to send us the most convenient phone number to reach you.
The offer could be signed either electronically (and sent back via email) or physically (and sent via fax (347)230-5922).
We're looking forward to your response.
European Investment Inc
