I recieve several of those every week! I just delete, but do worry about people who probably fall for it. That is one of the lowest things you can do, to prey on people who desperately need to find real, honest work to support their families.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley13.gif

I like how they ask.. a copy of your identity.. they should save themselves the work and just ask for your identity. In a more serious note.. Im sorry you received this. What I do is I keep a list of names of companies that I apply to ... and when I receive something from someone that does not match with whom I've applied to, just delete...

I understand some people fall for this stuff all the time which is unfortunate because they do not know or aware. I know scams when I see them. If it sounds too good to be true it proably is!! You have to do your homework. That is what I say!
