I received an email exactly like this except the company was in the UK.
Names were Julia Star & Vanessa Ericsson Hp- Computer company.
Thanks for the heads up.
I received an email exactly like this signed by Vanessa Ericsson and when I asked for more details about the company, I received no answer; I even went further and asked a friend in the bank the email directed me to have an account in to track the guys behind theses scams but surprisingly I found nothing. I looked up the name in the net and I was directed to your page and this is why I wanted to share my experience.
Thanks for the heads up.
I'm in New Zealand and have had the same email sent to me. I replied to them acting as if I were interested. Below is copy of the next email I received including them asking for much of my personal info (of course I would NEVER pass them this type of personal info as they could use it to impersonate me)...and again it was sent by a "Vanessa Ericsson". (oraclevac.vanessa@gmail.com)

I ran across one BSB Equipment Trade Company, who looks like they are doing this very thing out of New York. No address or homepage, only an email address and a fax number (for application); just applications sent out via job-sites (I found two postings each on two job boards in the Sacramento/San Jose areas), and a job description that doesn't match the job title (Regional Supply Chain Manager). I still sent in a resume, then they sent back the suspicious application and "work at home" notification. That's when I started trying to find out more about the company.
