I recieved this email this morning from Henry George, a 53 yr old man from Australia, at 5:24 AM in reply to a Career Builders job posting. However the email Subject Line said 'Re: CareerBuilder Job Application: Manager Accounts Receivable'...But he responded in the letter to: 'I received your resume in response to the ad for Personal Accounting Account'...
There was two things wrong already wrong w/ this picture, responding at 5AM and the job position didnt add up! Furthermore, he didnt not leave any information to where his office location is, no phone number, NO other information but his Name and job title. Also, he wanted me to do a task for him BEFORE we can arrange a formal meeting...this has 'FRAUD' written all over it!!!
So if you come across this similar email that i've posted below...PLEASE AVOID!!! IT'S A SCAM!!! Always do your research! I'm glad I came across this website b4 I made ANY decisons! Below is the email sent to me:
Dear Applicant,
I received your resume in response to the ad for Personal Accounting Assistant, I will deeply appreciate all genuine efforts to help me monitor and keep up to date with all my activities. I have had a previous PA who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6 months, she has since returned to her country. I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been. I'm Henry, 53, originally from Australia, but I have spent a whole lot here in United States. I'm a business man and Interior Designer by profession, I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I get involved in from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United States to various welfare and community service programs, I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.
As my assistant, your activities amongst other things will include;
* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
* Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
* Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I'm away.
* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
* Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.
* Basic wage is $550 weekly
* Its a Full-Time / Part -Time Job with no stress
This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.There is also a very sensitive issue on trust and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.. This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I'm currently in the Queensland Australia now on a business trip and summit, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with this week if you will be available for me. This can act as a stable foundation to our working relationship.
Hope to hear from you again.
Cheers.
Henry George
