Yea these days you never know if its fake or its real
Cheers!
I am the latest person to almost fall for this scam. How delighted was I to be offered $25,500 per month plus expenses as Construction Manager for Petronas – hours of work 10 – 4. What a doddle! However, smelled a rat and checked official Petronas site. Very loathe to apply on-line for jobs now.
Wish we could find these bastards!!
