How does this scam work?
Discussion
My CV has been on a few job sites for a little while, and this morning I received the following email (it's not the first time I've received something similar). Clearly a scam, (and not least because it offers me a role for which I have zero skills or experience!), but I'm just wondering how it works for them. Do they ask you to pay something before you can "join the company" or something?
