Part Time FSO Miss Harris Information Technology Job Scam

Hi everyone...thanks for stopping by. I sincerely appreciate any feedback or comments you may have regarding job scams. I do my best to personally respond to messages that come in and also use job scams others receive by email.

Today's entry comes from a reader I'll call "Mary". I am not using her real name nor her email address to protect her privacy. However the rest of the information is accurate and verbatim as the scam itself. Apparently the job scammers out there are getting a little smarter by using abbreviations for job titles like as shown below for a FSO. And also, I guess they use these email replies as "harris.n.office@gmail.com" which is also quite a departure from the usual randomness of the email names.

But here without further wait...below is an email from "Mary" about a job for something. I'm still not sure what a FSO is...but it is a job scam.

Card Processing Assistant Terry Williams Job Scam Brivex Inc

I received the below email in my in box as well with another fake job. This one hardly sounds convincing because it doesn't give any information at all on the position. But just in case others may receive it, here's a copy of exactly what I received:

students and trainees to graduates and PhDs. Nevertheless, despite this
fact, all of us have some generalthings that make us all  real family

the will to succeed, the ability to enjoy the  work and  much more. In case
that sounds like you, then welcome to Brivex Inc!

A lot of people will write me and ask why people do this and what they have to gain...I really am not quite sure myself. I know you can send a lot of personal information in supposedly applying for a job but I don't know more than that.

Liam Cowen Administrative Assistant Fake Job itzellmagic@hotmail.com

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog. I received an email from a reader by the name of let's say, call him "Steve". He sent me fake job email he recieved and with his permission I wanted to share it below with you. Below is the verbatim email of course hiding "Steve's" actual email address. I also did modify the Career Builder id number shown on the email and the reference number toward the end of the fake email below to protect "Steve's" identity if those scammers are getting smarter. But I seriously doubt they are getting any more intelligent. They are still full of mispellings and use a hotmail email account and seem to pay far too much money than is realistic for the job itself.

Hey Everyone...Just Checking In

Well, I started this blog originally to expose fake email jobs that seemed to come into my email box on a regular basis. I've started back to work again and just wondered to my readers...do you still get fake job offers or emails that look very suspiciously fake because of a high salary for few hours of work? Or does it involve check handling or re-shipping merchandise? I haven't seen those in a while. Drop me a line sometime if you wish to talk or have something for the blog itself. My email address is jobscams6069@gmail.com.

Have a good week everyone!!

Career Builder Fake Jobs/No Concern By Careerbuilder

Hello everyone..sorry to be missing in action again lately. So...please tell us...any job scams out of the ordinary lately? I did receive a few out of the blue emails saying my long lost relative who died in a plane crash in Africa left $20 million dollars to her husband but I'm somehow the next of kin and I just have to send $500.00 to release the entire $20 million directly to my bank account. Also, worthy of note, I've emailed Careerbuilder related to job scams and asked some pointed questions and asked for answers on why the job scams continue to show up on their website. I also provided a list of questions I'd like to have answered by the company if they are really sincerely interested in my well being as a job seeker. So far, two weeks later I haven't received an answer despite this and showing a link to my email job scams blog. Could it be that Careerbuilder just doesn't care? I'm beginning to think so. Anyone have any comments? I'll be back with more job scams shortly.
