Notes:

  • Any job offer that involves receiving payments for your employer in your private bank account can be assumed to be fraudulent. Using another person's bank account for business is a clear indicator that the funds are associated with criminal activity.
  • Any proposal that involves sending money by Western Union to an individual you don't know personally can be assumed to be fraudulent. Such funds are basically untraceable.
  • This spam was sent not from a regular mailserver but from the machine of a customer of Comcast, a US Internet service provider
  • This email went out at random. The recipient was not a UK resident.
  • The job offer is posted as a graphics image, so that the text can not be tracked by search engines.
  • There is no postal address, telephone number of fax number
  • Domain shultz-cars-part.net was only created on 2005-01-12, two days before the spam was received.
  • The domain was registered using a US postal address, even though the Company claims to be German.
  • Shultz is the Anglicised version of Schultz, so this company doesn't sound very Germany. It doesn't sound very British or American either, considering the confusion of "car parts" with "cars part".
  • This spam was probably sent once before, since it wishes "Merry Christmas" (in the middle of January). Since the ad is displayed as a graphics image, the text is not easy to update.

shultz-cars-part.net is a fraud!

This is a similar scam to the "Alpen-Antique GmbH" and "Plasma project, Inc." job scams.
