I received an email today from the infamous Nigerian scammers. This time it was a job offer for financial manager and it ends with a hilarious disclaimer.
This is an warning to make you aware of this new (AFAIK) scheme.
This gem is quoted with my annotations.
Hello,
My name is Preston Mitchel. I’m the manager in Oulu Company LLC.
We have open vacancy for US and UK citizens.
Isn’t that discrimination?
First, let me tell you about our company. We are providing financial
services worldwide. We have several offices in Europe, and need transfer
processing service in US and UK.
And you have to resort to spamming to recruit? What about regular job advertisement channels?
Our position is called Financial Manager. It is very important position for
us now. We need trustable and honest people working with us like partners.
We have different tasks for Financial Managers, from receiving and
redirecting deposits, to establishing LLCs and Corporations at our cost.
You may visit our website at www.oulu-company.com for more information.
The reason behind this BS comes next.
