been getting tons of job offer scams lately

Greetings,
I'm representing human resource department of UFE Inc. We've reviewed your resume online and would like to offer you position with our company. We're looking for US personnel in order to intermediate marketing transactions overseas.

UFE Online, Inc. was incorporated in 2003 to provide a better level of service to firms and individuals who need to send money internationally. Recently we
have been receiving plenty of applications from customers in the US. We are strongly interested to grant the best services and in the shortest dates to
overcome all the difficulties that are likely to appear. However, we've faced certain problems. Due to a large period of time concerning the payment
transactions accomplished between US and Europe, high taxes that such transaction cause, we've decided to establish position of cash asset manager to facilitate the process. Now we have 10-15 positions available to assist in virtual office presense.

Range of cash asset manager's duties will include:

Process work requests that necessary to maintain an effective payments transfer program

Managing cash and balancing receipts

Making collections (if necessary)

Posting payments

Making bank deposits

Perform related duties and responsibilities as required

For the services provided asset manager will receive 5% of each transaction processed and the base wage of USD2,000 per month.

If you're interested in the position we have, contact me at hp.dept.ufe@gmail.com to receive a prompt reply and further information.

I would say that 99% of all "Work from home" ads are scams. And the few that are legitimate always exaggerate how much you can potentially make.

The best work from home jobs are the types where your working in an office environment already and management makes the decision to have some people work from home thus saving office space.

Most, if not all, of these deposit-money things are scams. I, too, receive this junk, all from foreign countries. This one is written better than most I've seen, but its subtle English mistakes are a dead give-away. Plus, trusting a total stranger in a different country to manage your proceeds - when it's not becessary to begin with - is ludicrous. Of course, this is a SCAM.

Any offer comming from hotmail or gmail email address/account raises a red flag right off the bat.

Scam artists always target what is most frightening to the largest group possible. If you're going out to fish, wouldn't you cast your net where the biggest schools tend to congregate?

Right now the bait is economic distress and job loss. Give it a few months, they'll target something else.

Heidi Fleiss would disagree with you.

If I didn't call them, then whoever is calling me is a scammer...

If I didn't order anything, and it shows up in my mailbox, it's free...

If I don't recognize the person or the item in the subject column, it's trashed...

Few rules to live by...but effective...

Unless it also shows up on your credit card bill - then you've been had.
