Of course, $68,000 USD a year for job that only requires me to be of legal age doesn't send ANY wrong bells. I checked out their website, and it turns out eirofinance.com is a small database of user-submitted links. I doubt they do any business, and I would have written them off as some kind of new Nigerian scam, but turns out the domain is registered in Moscow:

So I guess I was wrong. They must be Moscow scam artists instead. I returned an email to them, asking what this job was all about. I doubt they will respond. This has SCAM written all over it.

Too funny
I'm in Toronto and pulling THEIR chain at the moment.
So far they've requested I come in for an interview. I replied to say I was interested, but never heard back. Then I heard from them again. I replied that never got back to me. They apologized and now want me to start training!
I'll keep you posted. Should be an amusing ride.
Good, I'd like to know what happens.
hey. i googled "eirofinance" and voilà, i see more people who got this same scam mail.
i figured this could be enticing enough to others more vulnerable, and i thought, "i really should report this somehow". so i shared my e-mail and what i could find out about the domain to my federal MP.
i'll let you know what they say. admittedly, they may be tied up with "other issues" at the moment... :)
cheers
james
PS: i was offered only 47,000 USD!
i am hurt and offended.
I just got the email too - it only offered 47000 USD which is chicken feed so i guess i will be missing out on a good opportunity.hahaha
Its a big scam, dont get fooled.
I just got this annoying email too! The best is they ask you to open up a personal bank account telling you that they don't need any personal information. Then the next paragraph says we just need your name, address, bank account information and access through the web. What's more personal than that?
LOOOOOOSERRRRRR!
I got this this same email this morning. I suspect they're harvesting email addresses from job post sites. It's a great idea, really... hitting on ppl who are vulnerable, desparately looking for money and perhaps a little exotic adventure. And, to think they appreciated me just from reading my CV. It's enough to make me a little misty. Hey what's that strange odour? I smell the acrid whiff of identity fraud or surprise! money laundering, in which case it could be a real paying gig, albeit slightly illegal and with some nasty personal associations. I'll be curious what the nofied MP has to say, or will do. I'll be passing this on to my local department of blue coats and brass buttons, or guys and gals with yellow stripes on their pants, if in Canada.
hahahahahahah i got this as well a few days ago and i was very, VERY suspicious so i started asking questions. Every response i got was exactly the same....their website (which doesn't work). All i had to see was 4 hours a day for about 1000 a week?! Who are they kidding
