I also received the very same e-mail on Jnauary 12, 2009. I became curious as to how anyone is going to offer me a job making that kind of money without interviewing me in person. I am glad that I was able to find this website. I would like to thank each and everyone of you all for taking the time to post your comments. Lets stop them con artist.

Hi, I normally don't bother with even checking because I don't trust anyone, BUT; something made me goolge the Morgan Trade Group. Well up jumps the devil, I see the word "SCAM." Anyway, mine came from an email address in Singapore. I believe .sg is singapore? From: Chasity Petty (lkf@cyberway.com.sg)
Kinda makes one wonder how society has gone from a hard working working class, to a future full of pedomorphic schemers with no common sense and brain power enough to invent scams like this to rip off people who DO work hard for a living. Very sad. Thanks for your efforts. Much appreiciated.

You may also wish to check the grammar/spelling on messages such as these. Poor grammatical skills are a good clue. It's what tipped me off relatively quickly.

False hopes can be quite discouraging so may God bless you all on your job searches!

I got the same wonderful offer today. I had the same type of offer from someone last week. Does anyone notice how bad the grammar and English is? If they were so rich, wouldn't they at least hire someone with good English skills so it doesn't read like a third grader wrote it?

Got this same email today. The difference is that it is from Katelyn Crow ( standing@bcasia.com.sg)
The contents are the same word for word. Thanks for the warning.

Got the same one this morning, and noticed that the writer couldn't spell twice, it was spelled twise. That is a dead give away.

Just got this email though mine was slightly different. What tipped me off first though before i looked at the email was

Also the email was ****@swiftech.com.sg That threw me cause i was wondering why swiftech was emailing me about a trade group.
Bad, Bad grammar, real companies have pre-written messages that have been through so many re-readings they are so PC it makes your teeth itch. This one was obviously not proofread by someone who was a native english speaker.
Besides, with my resume nobody is offering me a $65,000 a year salary.

Thanks for the site and the heads up though.

Thanks for the explanation. I, too, got one - and had decided it was spam by the grammar and spelling but was curious and did a google search which is how I found your site. I do not have a resume posted on career builder so this spammer is raking around, probably, I think, as a step towards identity theft.

Mine does not have the underlying heading of esplanade or Turkey but is as follows.

I received the same email this morning. It doesn't surprise me to see it is a scam. There's so many scams out today and the fact it came through spam sends a red flag. Sounds great, but sounds like you would be scamming customers eventually....no thanks.

Noticed the same one in my spam folder this morning. Temasek is the Singapore company that managers the Singapore government's investments. I'm sure Temasek would be happy to know their name is being used for spam mail.
