Fake jobs: job-britain.com and job4america.com

Two new fake job domains that form part of this long-running series, job-britain.com and job4america.com are pushing fake job offers which will actually be illegal activities like money laundering.

These domains were registered just yesterday to a fake registrant called "Leonid Pravduk". Avoid.

If you have samples of the spam emails using these domains, please consider sharing them in the comments.

  2. Hi,

    I have had loads of fake emails from job-britain.com and they appear to be using my email address to send the emails over.

    Thanks

  3. I am having the same problem and am receiving approx. 10 emails a day from them. It looks as if they are using my email address to send them too, which is worrying.

    Please advise how I can stop this as it is proving quite distressing and frustrating as you cannot block your own email address from coming through!

    Many thanks.

  11. I'm receiving the same emails. It seems that the wording is all the same, just the name changes. I have received about 10 emails in the last 3 days. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?
