Yeah, I know these kinds of emails...I spam them as soon as I get them simply because I haven't used any kind of job search website in like 6 months! Alex Bremnan has been the latest, he/she is not using the "MRC" part of the company name, just . "International Auto Brokers company". luckilly just out of curiosity I googled this company and found this blog page to be the first on the list of sites
These guys are trading under MPC not MRC now. Alex Bremen is still the alias being used. They aren't giving up.
i got the same email :( tehy got my real name too .

Mitz, they probably didn't get your real name and email from Seek. The association of your real name and email address is more or less public knowledge unless you are very careful about keeping it private. The scammers just say that it came from Seek to give the scam an air of legitimacy. If, by chance, you have dealt with Seek, then all the better for the illusion of legitimacy, but I doubt that they have any way of targeting Seek users in particular: they just spam as widely as possible, hitting both Seek users and non-users alike.
I got a job offer few days before and I reply them as 'yes I am interested'. Then they send me another email with details. Then I checked in google I found it is a spam, it is surprising they have their own website for fraud. The following is the complete email which I got:
