Re: Fake store fronts

both so far were very unsophisticated.

The help-wanted ads appeared to be very real, however the follow up job-offer responses (read: attempts to scam the applicant) are really flimsy.

I can't believe that anyone would fall for them, but some people must be right? Or otherwise why make the attempts?

One of them was advertised as a bookkeeping position. It turns out the scammer is using a legitimate company's name, but fake contact info., which was the dead giveaway along with they very amateurish "offer letter." I'll call this one a phishing scam via fake employment offers. I called the real company and the person on the other end said that over the last two weeks they had been contacted by hundreds of people around the country warning them about them fake ads.

The other "job offer" was advertised as a sales position but turned out to be an attempt at a new version of the Nigerian scam.
