Hey Idi, you are getting smarter I guess

[STLantny]

This was a scam email I got, its actually had me for a few minutes, before I started researching a little.

Hello,

I recently saw that you have your resume posted online. I run a very successful but small Ebay/online marketing business. In the last 5 years I have generated sales of over $10,000,000.

I am looking for an assistant/associate to take over some of the responsibilities of running the business. Your responsibilities would include:

• Posting pictures and descriptions on various sites
• Writing compelling descriptions of products being offered
• Researching various sites to track hot items
• Researching information about potential suppliers
• Tracking results and orders
• Basic accounting of each item's profitability

The work would be done from your home and we would communicate throughout the day by phone, email, and IM.

I realize this is not exactly on point with your resume, but I will be working with you extensively to make sure you are thoroughly trained on all aspects of my business. The most important attributes in the individual that I seek is reliability, trustworthiness, integrity, and intelligence. I am looking for someone that can run all aspects of my current business, giving me the time to focus on growth.

I am offering a base salary of $1500 per week plus a percentage of profit. This could easily be over $10,000/month on good months and as little as $3,000/month in off months. I will also pay for insurance and all related expenses.

If you feel this is the right position for you please use the link below to fill out the online application. I will contact you by phone for a one on one interview.

well DUH

The only reason it had me, was becasue I get a couple real job offers every week from people that see my resume on monster. So looked somewhat ordinary.

Thank you for your kind words, my friend. Things have been glorious in Lagos! Having kidnapped American tourists write our introductory emails (as well as installing CAPS LOCK buttons on all our keyboards) has led to a ten-fold increase in profits in the last quarter. Allah be praised!

[steelcmg]

You follow the links, to their site, and fill out a pre-interview form with your information, so Idi can call you for a phone interview. I think the links got broken when I cut/pasted though.

No, def not, I always research any company before I apply.

[siccjay]

What info did they ask for?

[STLantny]

It looked like normal online job ap. I dont remember specifically, because I didnt really look at it, other than the initial link clicking.
