JOB OFFER Fraud - Beware and be aware. (Mag-Ingat)
Just wanting to share and also a forewarning to my fellow kababayans who just like me who post their CVs on job search websites (MonsterGulf, Clarendon Parker, Bayt.com, Key Resources etal) to be wary of e-mails sent to you by companies abroad offering lucrative and too good to be true just offers.
A dear friend once received an email from a company in Malaysia with offer letter, contract of employment with all that perks an expat usually receives in this country. Told him to go and verify with the Malaysian Embassy to check the validity of the said company in the Malaysian Chamber of Commerce roster. YUP...it was a HOAX. That reality could dampen one's spirit, if I may say so.
Two days ago, I received an e-mail from a company in London offering a very lucrative job opportunity. Check this out:

Attached is the online interview questionaire in Notepad...lol

I contacted a friend who's in Uk to verify this...and check the website to see some hints that it's also a hoax. When I saw Africa...my doubts increased.
I also posted an inquiry on Ql Question Section and got all my confirmation.
