I have to admit that I'm a bit baffled by this job ad. It seems to have arrived in my inbox due to my scam-bait resume on careerbuilder.com, but it's not the usual no-qualifications-required job scam. Could it be that these people are primarily seeking to obtain email addresses of targeted individuals for spamming purposes, or is it just another money mule scam?

The email address, "job@seepost.net" is the only data point in this spam I really believe. The reply-to address may be for real, since it would be unusual for a spammer to bother with a false reply-to address. The reference to "CyberCoders Sales & Marketing Specialists" is almost certainly smokescreen: I don't believe the senders are at all related to CyberCoders (an organisation with which I am not familiar).

If anyone has actually corresponded with these spammers, please let us know what they say.
