Hmm maybe it's a test from a legit company wanting to see if i know a good deal when i see one. If i see an opportunity or are afraid to take a risk. lol

It could be the start of any number of scams.

Most likely will be the 'we need to complete a criminal records check which you need to pay for and it will be given back in your first months wages'

PayPal or western union £50 to cover the checks.

Lovely.


Send out 2-300 of these every day and even if you only get 10 idiots respond, happy days.

They'd need to offer more than 1500 gbp to hook me.

They are semi-targeted to people that have been out of work a long time / poor area / lower age group most of the time hence £1500 sounding appealing.

It's easy to filter with sites that let employers search for candidates cvs

tbh, i could do with £1500 a month right now. :/

These are the bain of my life; someone is sending fake offers using the name of the company I work for and whoever is doing it obviously got my details from Linkedin, as they all have my name on them! There's next to bugger all we can do about it (and we're huge multinational) as they're like weeds and impossible to trace. But trust me, from the amount of abuse I've had in my linkedin account (and even FB) people do fall for these, some of them very hard.
