Employment opportunity
I don’t know exactly what the scam is here. But. No company, anywhere, ever sends out thousands of random emails asking for staff. It doesn’t happen. The domain associated with the email address (engfindjob.com) was registered 3 days ago (25 June 2012) to someone called Tenisha Crabtree in New York.
Notice that this, so called, “employment opportunity” doesn’t tell you who the company are, where they are or what they do. I’m guessing this is the standard scam where you will be sent a cheque, asked to forward money to a third party and then find yourself robbed of your own money when the original cheque is withdrawn by your bank as fraudulent.
We have an excellent opportunity for an apprentice applicant to join a rapidly expanding company.

If you have a spam checker, for example I have SpamAssassin front-end, it will now block these particular emails, as “engfindjob.com” is now a blacklisted domain, and any spamchecker, will automatically chuck these in your spam folder! 😀

Hi,
I’m getting around 6 of these mails every hour. I also think that they started after I posted an ad on Gumtree.
Very annoying and impossible to trap in a mail filter at the server side or on outlook.

got the same problem, just send them mail with the nice wording like a F..k O.f, that is what they need.

I’m also seeing these e-mails (and variants of the wording) coming in since at least a week ago, ‘from’ address spoofed so it looks like the recipient sent it. Headers vary too. Haven’t studied it but maybe sent by trojan on infected computers somewhere out on the Internet.
It’s being sent to e-mail addresses that have been published as contact details on web sites. Not all public e-mail addresses are receiving it though.
As well as engfindjob.com, other domains given as point of contact in these e-mails include:
ukconsultantsnet.com
europeconsultantsnet.com
newengwork.com

I have the same problem at the company I work for. A few of the computers are recieving between 5 and 10 emails everyday! Does anybody know a way to stop them?
They come from internal email adresses but have the email (someone)@engfindjob.com to reply…
I dont get the point of this spam.. Im not even being offered free penis enlargements or viagra tablets… At least that kind of spam is amusing, this is just pointless!!

I keep getting about ten of these emails everyday, and they appear to be self smam, (Sender spoofs address so it looks like I sent it to myself). Any input on this?
Seems to have happened only recently after viewing, either from;
Gumtree.com or Indeed.co.uk.
