One of my VA's asked me for a reference for a new employer...



If you hired her from Odesk or another sourcing site, you might want to let them know too. I'm sure she's not the only one that got this email.
 
Stinks a lot...

Who is gonna pay some guy/gal 3500/M for basic jobs?

I received an offer as a SEO team manager in quite cool company in London for nearly 35k (for start)

It must be some hoax mate. Take her out of it.

Eh, no.

Anyway, good call TS, if the Scammer had written £1,200 p/m it might have required more research.

I would contact this company myself if I were you, don't wait! This person's life might be at stake. She doesn't appear to have the sense to see through this right now.

You might be saving her a life of sex slavery. They wouldn't bother doing this if they were going to kill her when she arrives. First thing that's going to happen is her handlers will take her passport and they'll put her to work on a unpayable debt.

Get the e-mail she's communicating with, first thing - google the domain, do some google fu/reverse searches on the domain/ips.

Communicate with the company directly, don't mention her specifically. tell them you're contacting them on behalf of one of their prospective employee. Get a phone number for them, find out their address at the very least. If they're not willing to give out their address on the phone it's for sure a scam.

Once you do some leg work, and find that everything is still as fishy as you say, report it. She sounds like she's been good to you, it's time to go all the way with this on your side because that would be an awful regret if she falls off the radar after being 'hired'.

Scam, the fee is idiotic for any position 3463 Pounds. If it was legit it should be more like 3500 something.
