    That's definitely a scam. Just don't reply to the message and give out your personal information to the scammers. Remember this is never the way you'll get a job unless you've personally applied for one.

Did you apply for this job? If not, then it seems unlikely that you'd just start getting job offers from random companies overseas.

Of course it is a fake. Why would Swiss use: [email protected]? There is also to many capitol letters in the letter to make it believable. And finally of course, the offer looks too good to be true, which usually means it isn't true

Stop! It is a scam. Did you have contact with this company? A legitimate business gets all the information they need from you in your resume, references, and follow up interviews. They work out all question and answers BEFORE they say that you are hired. And, if they do want to hire you, they will NOT send you an E-mail about it. This is a scam to get your personal information and/or money. Do not respond to it. Report it, forward it to the FTC at [email protected] and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya%E2%80%A6 Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on. Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization. You really need to get yourself some employment etiquette and knowledge fast. The first being that job hunting online, is just asking for people to try to scam you. Looking on the Internet is risky at best, as it is much too easy to lie and cheat online. If you are serious about finding work, use an employment agency. And for your E-mail safety, remember: Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam. Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you. Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door. And do not ever send money, checks or money orders to; or cash checks, money orders for any one - ever.

Sorry - this is a fake. First of all - the excessive use of ALL CAPS. A serious letter would never do this. Second - the use of free email domains (minister.com and legislator.com). Any company that is anything will use their own domain. Third - the bottom says "last date for joining is 26th of FEBRUARY" and go on from "12 october 2009 check your mail box" .. Forth - Basle does not exist. It`s Basel - and no other spelling would be correct. If you did get this through Monster - report it to them. Otherwise - delete and ignore completely - and never respond to this type of mail.

As everyone else says, this is a scam. No company in the world is going to offer you an overseas job over the internet. If you did not interview with this company either in person or a video conference, then the job does not exist. If the email address does not end in @swiss.com this email is not from the real company. Call the real Swiss Air headquarters and ask to speak to the Human Resources department who will confirm you have been scammed Headquarters Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. P.O. Box CH-4002 Basel Switzerland Phone: +41 61 582 00 00 Fax: +41 61 582 33 33 If you look on the real SwissAir site, all of their jobs are in Switzerland. They don't even have jobs in Mauritius, South Africa, the UK or Singapore http://www.swiss.com/web/EN/career/job_market/Pages/job_vacancies.aspx#
