The address is a random property in Sheffield with several companies registered at it, I'd file it in the bin and walk away

So who are these guys and what are they up to?!?!

Don't know who they are but can guess they are trying to separate a fool and their money.

Did someone call??

[PinkPoshRat]

Did someone call??

No, unfortunately, as I would have sounded them out - they don't show up on Companies House, and their address is some random terraced property opposite a football ground. They do have a website, which looks far more professional than their emails (font size change/colour all very tacky)

Bunch of gimps

[PinkPoshRat]

I sent them an email asking for the name of the Director and confirmation of the company's registered address. This is their reply...


Dear xxxxxxxx,

Thanks for emailing. I am afraid I don’t have any idea abut your questions. The best person to answer your questions will be the consultant at Capita Resourcing who advertised this position. If you apply online then your details will go directly to the consultant. who can then contact you to take the process forward. You can use the same link I sent you in my previous email. But if you are busy just send me your CV, I'll be glad to do it for you.

Best wishes for you and your family.

Take care,
Fahad

From my time on contract in Sheffield I recall Shoreham rd is near Bramhall Lane, home of Sheffield united and a street of kebab shops and gold dealers.

Theres a Waitrose at the end tho I think!!

As we Russians say, verony Moskvichkiy.....

Had a similar e-mail offering a position and requesting I send my details.

Too many irregularities for this to be genuine, the office is registered in Sheffield, yet the website was registered in Pakistan by Manz Resource Private Limited, there is no office on Shoreham Street, there is no information on Companies House relating to this company, the phone number provided on the e-mail is 020 code which I believe to be London yet Sheffield is 0114, despite claiming over 13,000 jobs these all seem to be siphoned from legitimate job sites, their featured companies are small independant firms, potentially linked directly with them, they prefer e-mail only contact instead of phone contact which is obviously much more informative when dealing with potential job candidates, the privacy policy is a mess of text and code. The terms of use cites Indian and foreign copyright, again none of these are registered and unusual to be registered in India when the registered office is in the UK and the website is in pakistan.

And surprisingly their reluctance to provide any information on the company registration and details on any affiliations with any recruitment official bodies, e.g REC.

So in summary I wouldn't touch these with a preverbial barge pole. Appears to be a semi-competant phishing scam.

I rec'd this today.... and my replies are below...
