Hi All, I received an email advertising a position as a finance officer, I replied with my CV and have received the following information and an application form. anyone have any experience with these? sadly my google-foo is failing me on this.

they've asked for my bank details on my application form and to be honest im not comfortable with that seeing as how the job seems too good to be true.

Doesn't seem to be any phone number listed on their website.

Yet the tools are listed no where on the site and there is nothing mentioned about them on search results. Interesting..

Last 'News' update was from Feburary..

I recommend you find a very long pole and not touch this company with any part of it.

The English is awful. It's a scam.

And why on earth would they ask for your bank details...

I love the bit about 'We employ highly skilled people of finance and economy' then go on to say, no special experience is required as we will give you 10 days training :D
 
No its legit. The brother in law of the person trying recruit you is a Nigerian prince I'm having dealings with at the moment. Great, trustworthy guy.
 
If you are happy to send off details of your name, address, email and contact numbers, bank details and no doubt your signature, which will be required on the form, then yeah, go for it.
