Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
They make it look like it's from CareerBuilder, but it's routed through a server in Amsterdam. Fortunately, they dropped a big clue in their reply-to address, which resolves to back to an individual located in Australia.
The grammar is...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Online Shopping/Mystery Shopper Offers
Looks like someone else's email might have been compromised in the the sending of this bogus offer. Headers are spoofed and there is no opt-out, so beyond being a bogus job, it's also legally spam.
We find it interesting that they won't...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Just another money transfer/mule scam originating from Nigeria, sent in an attempt to bilk you out of some much-needed cash and steal your identity for use in other scams. Sounds like they might be looking for someone to create bogus checks to...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Online Shopping/Mystery Shopper Offers
Charming. This is a bogus mystery shopper job masked as a 'survey' job. They want you to send personal info to a free Live.com email account. They don't have a corporate email address, not that it would help.
Bottom line: this request...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Pyramid Schemes
We hate this type of spam and really wish it would end. This email has 3 whopping sentences, and there's a typo in every single one. Sad. The message is spam (no opt-out), and the email address of the sender (if the address is in fact real) is...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
There's nothing quite like a scammer who's computer illiterate. For example, the sender opens by calling herself Miss Glin Gwan, and ends the letter signing it as Dr. Tony Williams. Identity crisis? The duties involve payment processing and...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Bad grammar, claiming to be in Australia but no corporate email or web site. Sends email from one address and instructs recipients to reply to another. Definition of spam on top of being a money transfer/mule scam.
No headers reported,...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Pyramid Schemes
This looks to us like a pyramid scheme, because they want you to buy a money-making system. We tried the URL (don't try that at home, kids) and it doesn't appear to work anymore. They did a couple things wrong:

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Here's one that never tells you who they are or where they're from (according to email headers, it's Czech Republic). They claim to have found your info on CareerBuilder. The position is called 'transfer manager' which is a fancy way of saying...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Awesome. Nothing like using the Big Guy to scam people (legitimate employers don't end their recruitment letters with "God Bless"). Leonard Griffin claims his company is one of the biggest and most successful but doesn't tell you...
