Shipping and Receiving Clerk Scam Email

Today I received an email that is supposed about recruiting for a home based position. Some things about this message just didn't seem right to me and with the economy in shambles, more folks might be tempted to reply to this message which would not be a good idea..

  • The reply to address (where the message was sent from) and the manager's email address were from separate domains - tpgcpas.com and gmail.com respectively.
  • The wording of the message while better than most scam emails, still isn't quite right. There are punctuation, tense, and grammar issues in this message.

Here is an image of the email I received. You can click on the thumbnail below to see a larger version of the image:
