Dear friend,
It is a fraud, I also received a few days ago.the offer was too mouthwatering and too good to be true.Though i have yet to face and I'm courses with the flow, to see what their motivation is behind it and when do they come to the payment terms for issuing visas.
A simple method for you to check is to call the regional office, you get the tel.no on their website and verify the authenticity of the letter notes with them.Also mail from a Yahoo account and not Society field. It is a great moment of cases of fraud and crime on the Internet should find the culprit behind this and get behind him bars.As many people who are not aware of these practices have fallen into trap.BEWARE!

Are your REALLY think that some-an offer of employment to people chosen at random by email?

Do you have a request?
Did you send your resume?
Do you give them your e-mail?
Did you pay � 2000 "refundable" tax filing?
Did you give the bank details?
Do you have a date to attend an interview?

Assuming that the address is real, when you get stuck there ever heard of you or "Prof. Laurent RD" ...

The only thing you can guarantee is that whatever information you send will be used to steal your identity and you will never see your money ... (oh - and if your response, your e-mail will be sold to other con-merchants "marks" (aka gullible fools who may be separated from their money)

NB. You also won the lottery - all you need to do is send your � 100 administration fee for me and I will convey the central Nigerian Lottery Office and they will send your winnigs � � � million!

Also, English is at least curious and some of wordjing is strange to someone who is supposed to be a teacher. Why is a professor working as a HR manager?
