Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Online Shopping/Mystery Shopper Offers

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Well, isn't this company name special. Sounds so...fake!
They send their offer from a Hotmail account, act like it's perfectly normal to hire remote people (which is not usually the case with legitimate job offers), and ask you to reply...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Well, it's an old one, but we wanted to get it into the bucket, because it does look like it was an attempted money mule scam. The domain swiftrise.com no longer exists (if it ever did), and we can see by the offer that they used some of the...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Once again, someone in Nigeria is posing as the human resources manager of a company supposedly located in the United Kingdom and China. We see that a LOT.

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Online Advertising Job Offers
Four different (and shortened, thus questionable) URLs in the message. First name Shella, instead of Sheila. Conflicting names, email addresses and countries in the message headers. Rags to riches story of how a single mom is now making big...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Shipping/Re-shipping Offers
Big spam-a-roonie right here. The message was sent to PhishBucket founder Tabatha Marshall. But look in the headers at the To line - not her!
This is a reshipping offer. Don't confuse it with a real job. This isn't one of those....

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
We don't think this one was really sent to the job seeker through CareerBuilder. Although the "From" line seems to imply so, there are some subtle clues that suggest otherwise.
1. The subject line has some insanely bad...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Career Services Offers
We're pretty sure the anti-spam results shown in the header speak for themselves, but in case you don't understand headers, this is what's known as a diploma mill. They want you to BUY a diploma instead of earning one, nor is there any...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Ah...nothing like the vice president of the company trawling for employees on the Internet like a common...oh, right. He IS a common criminal, and he's NOT the VP, he's just a scammer. To you it might not be terribly obvious, but we can smell...
