I got one of these too, from someone named Ami Bogen. To me it seems like a scam because no entry level job is going to pay that much. And my mother always gave me some good advice: If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

Search the companies name on google or even search the name and add in "Email job offer" and see if anyone else got it too. If the results have a lot of your question, it's a scam

Scam. Hands down, no one offers 50-70K for entry- level jobs with no experience required.
I searched for the name of the company- google has it flagged as a hazardous site. May damage your computer.
As it was kind of long, I didn't read the letter completely until now. The person who wrote this has no more than a JR High level of education, if that, and is possibly not a native speaker of english. There are so many errors in this letter, both grammar and word choice, that it is funny. For example: "Ability to manage variety projects in fast paced circumference and a promissory work load." Circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle. Promissory means that it implies a promise, often related to insurance. Not sure what they meant to say.

There is NO company that pays 50k+ for any entry level position and certainly not for a customer service job which is enerally a minimum wage position

I received the same email about 11:46pm last night stating the same thing. I have also been applying for jobs through various websites, so it is hard to say where they got my email address. I noticed they say they will not relocate you, however they never state where they are located. I am pretty sure it is a scam

Jaime,
I believe it is a scam; I also just received the simular email this morning (Saturday, August 25, 2012 05:49hrs) w/ a "Salary Rate: $48,200.00-78,990 plus corresponding with experience...." Return email is a hotmail acct which is your 1st red flag. Established companies & firms use their own servers and have email addresses that correspond to their official websites. Which leads me to my second point: I can't locate one.
I am currently trying to search web for "any" info, on this company, which has yielded absolutely nothing. The only hit was your question posted on Yahoo. So far checked following search engines: Yahoo, Bing, AVG (Powered by Google) and just now Google. That's when I'd found your question. Usually, I find something good or bad; not to mention @ least one official website. So far nadda!
There have been reports, I've heard and read on NPR, regarding scams that get people to redistribute goods from their homes. Most of these turn out to be stolen items, linked to foreign organized crime rings (Eastern European and Asian predominately) and they are using unsuspecting desperately out of work individuals as their fencing operation to both distribute their goods and launder their funds. I do believe this may be one of those deals. Be careful! |:-)> -Jon ♠.

I just received this same email a few minutes ago. Salary mentioned was different, though -
$48,200.00-74,900.00 plus conformable with experience. I've only just begun my job search, so I also have no idea how they found me. I will be curious to see if we get any answers.

I got the same email few days back, I think it's a scam since I didn't search for a job since very long time.

There is no job. There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.
This part: "Set up relationships with vendors for the purchase of products for company's production quota." is scammer-speak for "I will send you a fake check, you cash it and send me your money".
The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "supply company" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
When you refuse to send him your cash he will send increasingly nasty and rude emails trying to convince you to go through with his scam. The scammer could also create another fake name and email address like "FBI@ gmail.com", "police_person @hotmail.com" or "investigator @yahoo.com" and send emails telling you the job is legit and you must cash the fake check and send your money to the scammer or you will face legal action. Just ignore, delete and block those email addresses. Although, reading a scammer's attempt at impersonating a law enforcement official can be extremely funny.
Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.
Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.
Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.
If you google "fake check cashing job", "fraud Western Union job scam", "check mule moneygram scam" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.
