Hi All,
In my quest to get a new job I spend the days trawling the job web sites answering emails etc. I got this mail today:
Quote: Hello there,
I've just read your CV, and I think you'll fit this job.
You can become a seller assistant for LD Electronics.
It is a new company on the market, but ready to grow fast.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Leonard Goff, one of co owners of
this company, and seeking assistants all over the country ready to
sell our electronics.
The principal requirement is that you need to have a eBay account with
feedback 10+.
And you need to list our products on eBay, on our behalf.
We will pay around £40-£60 for each listing posted.
You will list at least 2 items every day, you need only one hour free
time any time of the day.
You will get paid just after each listing ends.
Any questions you're welcome to ask.
I just want to check I'm not too paranoid in thinking this is a scam! I seem to remember someone else saying they got similar emails.
Well I now have proof that it's a scam

thanks for the site it will go into my useful sites list!
|

This is only my gut feeling, but I'd say this doesn't look very serious.
The job requirement sounds ridiculous.

Reply to their email account, your SMTP server will let you know if it was a valid account or something else. 
By the way,
Quote: I've just read your CV, and I think you'll fit this job.
Seems like you did contact, if this is true (that you sent them you CV) then look into it, otherwise ignore.

The best thing I don't have an Ebay account!

This is 100% OK then...
Just send and e-mail and get ready to get spammed to death...

Sent a reply to you bout an hour ago but it seems to be stuck in spam, it's defo a scam[^].

There's just one question you need to ask yourself...
Do you really fit the job according to your CV?
You're a coder, not an eBay seller. Where did they get that ridiculous idea?
As you said you don't even have an eBay account, yet you fit the job?!
Seems to me this guy is full of sh*t 
I got one just like that a while back: "With all your experience as a web developer..."
At the time I had only two months web developing experience 
NEXT!

Sadly, that's what happens when you post for positions on job searching sites. I always force them to contact me through the site before they get any e-mail or phone to contact.
Sometimes it's not too bad though, I had the UPS in town offer me a part-time position while I was searching. Mostly spam otherwise.

So how does the scam work? You sell their sh!t and never get paid?
|

Not too sure, could be several things, to avoid getting them liable for import tax as your postal address is not a business. Selling stolen items using your Ebay account as laudering service, getting access to a clean Paypal account. I could go on, but its not really worth it...

If it sounds too good to be true...

It probably is.

I have never really liked Mathematics because of my teacher, he always ranted at me because I didn't like writing the solutions down to cram them.
Recently, by looking at these curves and how the teacher (may have) taught his students about mathematical functions, by drawing a Batman equation[^]. I feel like gaining interest in Mathematics once again!
The equation is actually an ellipse and a few other curves making an actual Batman Logo!

Now show us the equation to write "KAPOW!" and "SPLATT!"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
