It is a scam. Your job will be to deposit checks that you receive and send them 90% or so by wire. The 10% is your pay. In about 2 months the checks will bounce and you may be arrested for passing counterfeit checks. ₪ ʎəɿʞɹɐq ₪

I received the same letter. Of course, I have worked in accounting and I am looking for a job. I have also been trying to figure what the scam could be.

Hi Jovita,
I got the same exact email and also believe it is a scam. Unlike you however, I am not an accountant type of any sort. My expertise is in the IT Operations and Service Delivery field. I would guess that this is just the initial lure and would be followed up with them requesting further information (personal data) during their "processing" phase. Then they could possibly attempt identify theft of those who responded and provided their personal data.

I hope people think long and hard about responding to unsolicited emails professing employment offers such as this.

Scott

I recieved the same email that was sent by wellskeith1970@hotmail.com and noted the HR department as soffer.mory@gmail.com. My best guess is that it is a scam of some sorts. Legitimate companies do not use hotmail or gmail.

I am not an accountant and I do not know anything about that, however, I did receive exactly the same e-mail. Hard to say what's the scam, but since they send it massively to many people, it is very suspicious...

Hello,

My email was from Jeremy Morales. What tells me this is a scam is both of their email addresses end in @hotmail.com. If they were rep’ing for a large corp over in Europe, don’t you think their email would be something like j.morales@bayer.com, not hotmail.

I think they want us to respond because they are prospecting for "live ones". They come on slowly, trying to sound professional – I didn’t see any typo errors on this one. If you are on linkedin, that could be how they found you, or facebook, etc.

I see several of these a week, they still find ways to squeeze thru my isp provider’s junk filters.

I got this exact same email today. I agree, it was too good to be true so I Googled it to see who else had received it.

I too received the e-mail. Sounds like a scam. When I do a search on the name only your question came up. There is no location for the job. And what large company HR person would be sending e-mails using a hotmail account. Good luck. Darwin

I received the same email with different names and email addresses.

To answer your question, yes, it is a scam. I am a member of an anti-scam community, and while most scammers have bad grammar and spelling. others have good grammar and spelling skills which fools people into believing that the job is real. This email has a few mistakes in both.

The main tip off is that it comes from a free email address (Hotmail), and the email address that receivers of the email are asked to reply to is another free email address (Gmail). No legitimate company uses free email accounts to contact possible job candidates; companies and HR departments that are real and are looking to hire use their company email address.

Another tip off that this email is a scam is that it is very contradictory. The opening of the email states, "MF Group GmBH has a new enty level job opening in the Accounting Department. (No previous accounting experience is required)" but the next paragraph says, "Candidate will handle various accounting responsibilities, including: perform data entry of journal entries, assist in performing financial transactions, assist with month end, quarter-end and year-end financial reports, monitor and review transaction details."

As a business major who also has a lot of accounting experience, in order to perform the above duties, a person must have some accounting knowledge and experience. It would be very scary for someone without accounting experience and knowledge to perform those tasks.

It was just a coincidence that you received the email and are an accounting major. Like me, you must have created a profile on a job board somewhere. This came to my personal email address and it was after I signed up on snagajob.com. Scammers send out thousands of emails per day, and you and I are just two of the targets that this email went to. Even though they have not asked you for money yet, it is coming. I really hope that you won’t send them any money no matter how wonderful they make the ‘job opportunity’ sound. You won’t receive a thing in return except the loss of your money and possible financial ruin.

I hope this helps to answer your question.
