Now let's take a look at this one.
First ... hmm.. a Canadian site wants to hire me for some sort of overseas job and wants me to email him back at a non-company email? No hiring company would have you contact them at a free hosted email such as yahoo (or gmail or hotmail or what ever else is offered free).
I checked on the reliability and trustworthiness of mun.ca and it is a real site that this guy used as a reference to make his email look legit. I found the abuse email on there and contacted them to ask if there was any such employee using the email address kskim@mun.ca or if anyone was hiring for this type of position. I also included the email I got.
This was the reply I got:
You are correct to assume that it is a scam.
The local @mun.ca account was hacked and the spammers were using it as a
gateway to send these messages. We shut down the account within ten
minutes of the start of the incident.

I just wish it was easier to teach others how to research potential jobs as I work with people who are mentally disabled but trying to get back into the job force. I really feel sympathetic for these targetted people and that is why I take offence to anyone who says that people who fall for scams deserve it. NO ONE deserves it.
