Job scam quick guide: it's a scam if...

  • they want you to collect and forward money in any way (a "money mule" job). You'll wind up engaged in money laundering, personally defrauded via expertly forged cheques, money orders, etc, or defrauding someone else who pays for goods that never arrive.
  • they want you to receive packages and reship them somewhere else. The goods will have been obtained fraudulently, and they're just using you to make the shipping address appear local. You will be aiding fraud.
  • they want up-front payment (either to them or someone else) of any sort for anything before you can get the job. This is advance fee fraud: there is no job -- it's just a big con to extract money from you.
  • they want you to buy any kind of "membership" or "kit" in order to start. Forget it -- it's not a real job at all: they're trying to sell you something, and they're probably making a bunch of other false claims about it if they're pitching it as a "job".
  • it's a job offer, and it's spam. There are LOTS of these scams about, as you can see.

World Business Company

Well, I have to give them credit for throwing in a lot of extra irrelevant detail as smokescreen, but "World Business Company"? Sending from a hotmail account with a myway.com reply address? I suspect that this job offer is a case of Advance Fee Fraud: there will be costs associated with obtaining the job -- the give-away is the bit where they say, "All expenses incurred in relation to this job offer will be reimbursed on arrival." No they won't! There ISN'T a job at which to arrive! That's the scam!
