1. Turbodial Limited

So...we see a lot of these offers. Let's talk about what's wrong with it. First, the sender calls himself Brian Johnson and says he's in the UK. Nothing immediately suspicious about that. Oh, but wait, he needs an onlinebook-keeper (his spelling)....

2. Craigslist - Woolworth Representative (Online)

Message from individual who reported offer: I guess from the title the scammer is trying to con someone that he is part of the old Woolworth company. Woolworth does still exist in other countries. We agree with this assessment....

3. MystryLine / Maxtin Inc.

This offer was found on Yahoo HotJobs and reported to us on Oct. 25. We checked today and there are no listings by company for Mystryline or Maxtin on their site now. Frankly, we're surprised this even made it through their filters considering the...

4. Ferrasano Ferrosan Group

This offer for a "fund operator" targets UK/GB only. Fund operator is just a really nice way of saying money mule. They claim to have been mentioned by the magazines In Touch Weekly, Forbes, and Cosmopolitan. This so-called company...

5. Partlysane.com

Wow, this is some offer, isn't it? Look at how descriptive they are with the job and their candidate requirements. Just makes you want to sign on the dotted line, doesn't it? (NOT!) We think they expect you to be "partly sane" to go for...

6. WealthDevelopment.net

This offer reads like one of those turnkey/MLM online schemes. We aren't necessarily calling it phish because these types of offers sometimes work out for very enterprising people. What we take issue with is that these offers tend to blow a lot of...

7. Alert: PhishBucket hack attempt

We recently learned of a hacking attempt on the PhishBucket site. It seems that around November 4 or 5, someone found an unsecured directory and inserted some spammy metadata into our html site template. The metadata involved numerous affiliate...

8. AutoPay Inc.

Wow, someone fire Barbara immediately. She can't spell her way out of her own country, that's for sure - just read this puppy out loud and you'll see what we mean. It looks to us like a money transfer/mule scam targeted at Americans (like we're...

9. TransUScomp

Ah yes, packing and repacking "kits_ - smell that? That's the smell of a shipping scam. The mail is kind of silly because they say your presence in the office is optional and yet one of the job requirements is American citizenship, which...

10. Mystery Phish - John Scott

This one scored 11.3 on the spam filter. And no wonder, since they didn't even bother to provide their company name. How embarrassing for them. "Processing incoming orders" may or may not involve money muling or package shipping, so...
