Got this a couple of days ago, getting through my gmail spam filter:
How are you? I represent Dealmax LTD Personnel Dept. and I'm responsible for
headhunting among the candidates for the open positions with our
organization. We have read with interest your information disclosed at
Career Builder site detailing your relevant work experience and
qualifications and want to offer you a well-paid part-time job opportunity.
We believe you can be considered as a successful candidate for the vacancy.
If you are interested in our company and in more information on this
position, feel free to contact the HR.Thank you for your consideration and have a nice day.
Aside from the standard "if it seems to be too good to be true, it is" and the standard caution against unsolicited recruitment offers from Hotmail accounts (this one came from Hermione Z. Jefferson - ven4456medema@hotmail.com), the biggest red flag is their return address.
The reply address was Recruitment@DealmaxLtd.com. The domain DealmaxLtd.com was registered on February 2, 2011. Yes, just 5 days ago. If you've got dirty laundry older than the company's domain, that's a HUGE red flag.
Be careful of these folks.

I RECEIVED THE SAME EMAIL TODAY!!! ITS A SHAME
I got a call and from that I got the following e-mail from Dealmax Ltd.
===============================================
Dear , Jorge Poincot.
How are you doing? We have received your resume. Thank you. We tried to
call you but unfortunately the connection was very bad.
So let us tell you about our company and the position. As you could learn
from our website, Dealmax Ltd. is a long established and highly respected
national leader in the delivery of integrated communications solutions to
every significant market sector (NOT a "DEAL MAX" us shopping program!). At
the present moment we are specializing in electronic appliances industry.
Dealmax Ltd. offers the largest choice of telecommunications products and
services, from the worlds leading suppliers, available from any single UK
source. Within a comparatively short period of time we were able to acquire
an essential share of markets in european and asian countries.
We also provide the service of online-exchange of funds between any bank
accounts around the world. This diversification created new range of
opportunities and driven us towards the US and CA market. International
money transfers might take up to 10 days to be fully processed. This factor
delays the shipment of the product. Our clients are able to safely purchase
electronic products from overseas and receive them in just 24 hours.
Our current objective is to establish a competent Human Resource foundation
in the United States and Canada, in order to commence the entry into the
American market. After the difficult financial situation in the US as well
as in Europe in 2009-2010, continuing growth has created a number of
exciting career opportunities. So you are presented with a prospective
position of a Finance/Logistics Officer (Part-Time position).
Here is the job description:
- Processing logistic tasks.
- Directing and coordinating financial transactions between Dealmax Ltd.
and their clients in the US.
- Assisting in negotiations with certain clients.
- Ensuring prompt financial transfers. (transfer fees are settled by
Dealmax Ltd.)
- Making reports.
- Performing other related duties incidental to the work described herein.
- 2-3 (two-three) working hours 3-4 (three-four) times a week.
Benefits and increments:
- $40.00-$70.00 per logistic task completed.
- $1,000.00 - $3,000.00 US dollars in the form of commission. 3 percent
commission per transaction in the 1st month of employment. 5 percent
commission per transaction in the second month. Commission is taken out
from the total amount of the transaction by the Finance Officer. You will
have about 2-4 transactions per week. The average amount of the
transaction varies from $1,000.00 to $7,000.00
- Flexible working hours. If you are currently employed the part-time
position we offer affords you the flexibility to do both.
- An offer of a full-time position with Dealmax Ltd. after 6 (six) month of
continuous employment with Dealmax Ltd.
If you are are interested and would like to get started please reply to our
staff manager Mr. Michael Quinn at Michael_Quinn@DealmaxLtd.com

I got two of these "DealMax" e-mails in the same day, from two different e-mail addresses/people's names. They must troll Career Builder and send them to every email they can find. Since I signed up for CareerBuilder, Monster.com, etc. I get dozens of them every day. You learn to sniff out the BS artists pretty quickly.
After responding I received the EXACT same email as Mr. Poincot. I should have done better research B4 I resppnded. Needless to say, they're in my junk mail folder now.
