Job Scam Alert! 9th January 2007.

There is a false advertisment for high paying job on the local auction site (click here). This advertisment looks legit, but there are flaws:
(1) No physical address or NZ registered company
(2) Using free gamil account for corporate business (?)
(3) No office phone, just a cheap preapy number!
(4) Pay him $120 and a free gmail account!

When you respond to his ad, he will be guided to a page with information "to make you rich". See the sample page here.

Please pass on this info to all your friends and usergroups to prevent Kiwi being ripped off or conned by this person. Reports had been file with scam alert team with gmail and concern authorities.

Kiwi Pundit

...If a burglar steals your DVD player, instead of waiting for the police to show up and then making little or no effort to recover it, you're more likely to find it by hunting around on XXXX. All of the honest trading is valuable of course and, overall, TradeMe is probably providing a net public benefit - but nothing like the benefit that the public has received from the privatization of Telecom. For the xenophobes out there, XXXXX is now foreign-owned so that is no longer a difference.

In summary, there's no basis for seizing unbundling the local loop while that evil monopoly XXXX is out there shameless abusing their dominant market position to fleece innocent New Zealanders of their hard-earned dollars. Clck here for the full article.
