I couldn’t thank you more if i tried. i got the job offer, gave them my phone #. typically, th prospective employer would call, but they didnt. they switched their emails up, sent me a fake site url http://www.sohousa-inc.net/vacancies/payment
so long story short, google the email adresses of all your ‘prospective employers’
I am so happy that I google the company name before it just sounded too good to be true thanks
Hello,
Thanx so, so much for the information on this company. I would’nt know what we would do without people like you and google keeping us alert on these scam artist.
They really should do something more with the laws, prohibiting this people from scamming people like this.
Again, thanx for looking out !!
Geneva
Despite being very desperate to get a job, l was about going ahead with the offer. But cos l almost fell prey a couple of times before, I have learnt to be more careful so I decided to check their website only to see this scam alert! Moreover, good jobs do not always come this easy, not nowadays. Thanks and I hope other innocent people will be more wary of dubious companies like this.
A big Thank You from me too!! I’m constantly getting emails from companies who just basically want me to do their “cash laundering”. Here is another one that wasn’t included in the comments above: KBR, Inc.
Thank you so much for posting this. I recently received an email about a job offer as well, and being unemployed, need a job, but I am so sick of all the job sites allowing these people to post this crap. There has to be some sort of filter for all of these fraudulent companies…

You are very welcome

Thanks for the headsup.
Received the same email. I mean I need a job and all, but I would like a real job. Also, I don’t want to ruin what credit I do have, by taking this so called job offer. I could destroy everything that I would ever be able to get in the future.
Thank you I was about to go through their BS. But it just seemed wrong. Again Thank you.
Thanks for the heads up. I just got a job offer, but there was no link to their company…so I googled their name. Thanks for being there.
donita
Thank you for this info.
Today, I received an e-mail from this company and being unemployed and certainly wanting a job I was intrigued, my wife advised me to google and what sounded to good to be true, was. I certainly appreciate being able to avoid the grief that was sure to follow.
Thank you!
Thank you very much! They sent me an offer too.
Thank you so much something told me to google this website before applying for a job there.
