So is it a scam, i think so, i have never heard of the outfit, i have never been in the admin/clerical arena, and it seems "wrong" or is it Sheila? that raises suspicion.

At worst, it tries to download a trojan. At best, you confirm your email address is valid. At bestest best, they offer you a £50k job for 2 hours' work a week and it's genuine. biggrin

Scammy McScam !!

My mate and I are both looking for work at the moment and I spoke to him two days ago. He described exactly the same e-mail as above including the name at the bottom. Apparently if you click on the details, it takes you to an online aptitude and IQ test and then wants to charge you a few pounds a week to be on their books.
Avoidance sounds like it is the best policy.
