One big thing that stands out is that you reply to a Yahoo email account, and not one from the company that is supposedly recruiting. I'd call it a scam and delete it.
From: neco_recruitments@yahoo.com - reply to address is yahoo instead of a corporate account. PLUS <rzmails@indiatimes.com> - originating email account is different from the reply to address. EQUALS most likely spam and you should delete it.
this is a 100% scam, companies looking for people to fill open positions liek that will advertize in a paper not do so by email delelte it and do not reply they are on a phising expodition
Funny, I got nearly the same one. I filed it along with the emails I've received from Lawrence Oliver from South Africa telling me I won the lottery.
no way and just delete it now
Don't know Check out the Chamber of commerce and your embassy in London for this company and do not give out any details that could harm your status at the Bank judgeing by the half hearted address I.E no zip code... then beware, as you are only able to communicate via the phone very dodgy in these times as you can be easily suckered in, the wording IN COUNTRY sounds not right for a UK company
I am a graduate in the UK, and applying for jobs, I have worked in this country for the last 2 years as well, I am aware of how job offers are made. My uncle forwarded this e mail to me to find out how genuine it is, when I looked at the offer letter, I was surprised to find how fraudulent it was. Spelling mistakes(which are a no no here!), then no interview? It is a formal binding with a company to take atleast a telephonic interview. They also advised the net salary is £9000 pm???????? probably they are hiring someone to work in No 10! anything above £5000 is likely to be taxed 45% which means gross is like approx £16000 a month?????? I even called the office no as listed, it doesnt exist, e mails are bouncing back, and the post code and address dont exist in the UK.Please always remember, the person's e mail address will always have their company address in the end which is their corporate address. and most of them even say costs for obtaining UK permits are reimbursable, that is no way done, and they cannot ask you to apply for a visa because it is not your responsibility, if they are calling you, they should provide everything. I am going to show an example of a web site article, not sure if this is true but there is an e mail address in the end, I would suggest all of you who are affected kindly contact, probably might bring up a solution. Please dont follow these blindly, they are traps..
