Sincerely yours,

Red flag list for this job offer:

  • The job offer was sent out as spam.
  • The company domain was registered less than a week before the advertisement went out.
  • The company domain is is not registered to the address listed in the contact page of the website. The company is supposed to be Ukrainian, yet the website owner is supposed to be in the United States.
  • Supposedly the job involves receiving and resending mail. This doesn't make any sense. Which business would entrust its customers' valuable commodities and funds to new recruits it doesn't know or can't physically supervise? This only makes sense if the commodities are stolen or obtained through fraud and deception or if it involves contraband.
  • The website uses the description on its website as "emoneypost.com", a known scam operation that's part of the "purexian.biz" series of frauds.
  • Also compare with http://www.biz-mail-express.org/vacancies.htm which uses the same text and graphics. The only thing that's different is the domain name and the contact address, which is in London, UK instead of Kiev, Ukraine.
  • Too many exclamation marks!! LINES OF SHOUTING!!! ;-)


The same job scam as in express-mail.biz was advertised via another spam on 2004-12-29 using almost exactly the same wording, but a different domain:
