They stated they would be sending me a computer, printer and stationaries. They also stated they would be sending me money orders to purchase software and a signing bonus. The would be sending me a tracking number for the delivery of the money orders.
I decided to google the companies because the information on the company provided did not fit with what I knew of HSBC (which is a bank). I also googled Greater Britain Business Association which they stated they were a member of. They also mention Pan-Canadien Corporate Computers in their indtroduction e-mail.
I was shown a link to this website under the name Benny Moore. The experiences of the other people and what they wrote led me to find out that this is the same scam but using different names. I immediately typed an e-mail stating I declined the position and attached the link to the web page with Benny Moore.
I will also be checking into notifying the site I found the posting for the position on and referencing the web page I found.
