Scam?

Post by ThirdWorldTraveller » Wed Feb 03, 2010 1:55 pm

Friends,
I have an email, which goes like this in below. Unfortunately, I can't name the agency because of forum restrictions(I tried though) but something about this mail make me suspicious that it's scam. However, I couldn't place what it is, as the email is apparently harmless. Any help appreciated.

Dear XX



I have read your CV with interest and I would like to speak with you to clarify your CV further.



Once we have had the chance to discuss the same it may be prudent to arrange a one to one meeting in our London Office with one of our consultants. This naturally would be at a mutually convenient time.



I will be available on the telephone numbers below, throughout today until 5.00pm, alternatively periodically throughout tomorrow, day nth February between 9:30am – 4.00pm. I would be grateful if you could please call me at your earliest convenience quoting the reference number XXX nnnnnnn XX

In the interim I would be grateful if you could familiarise yourself with our company at www.fxxtcxxxxd.com



However, if I do not hear from you by the aforementioned time, I will assume that you have now secured a career position or taken another path and I would like to take this opportunity in wishing you every success in your forward career.



Kind Regards
XXX

It has scam written all over it.
It's amazing to think someone is giving away jobs when people are struggling to find an opening in these bad times...
