It seems unlikely that this message actually originated at CareerBuilder, but the sender has at least gone to the effort of determining that the name associated with my email address is "Deception Spotter". I do have an account at CareerBuilder, clearly marked as "for the purposes of catching job scams", so anyone who says I qualify for a position is either admitting that they are a scammer, or not reading the entry! This is a money mule scam. They say that the payments to be processed do not come in the form of checks, so it's most likely to be fraudulent direct bank transfers they want people to launder via Western Union for them. If anyone has further details, please post. In the meantime, be assured that this is a scam, and that they scammers don't really represent a company named "Polaris Limited" or anything else.

I love the disclaimer block, though. I think a scam-baiter has been taking up a scammer on one of those "re-write English properly" job offers. That disclaimer block and the "From" address ties this scam to "NIX Consult, Inc." and "Target Co." scams (documented elsewhere -- I'm not the only scam-spotter on the planet).
