1# Any job offer WITHOUT at least phone interview is SCAM. 2# ANY phone number with 7... in the UK,e.g +44 7... is a cell phone, there's NO company in the world that doesn't have a land line. 3# If you DID recieve a direct phone call from a company that it's number are NOT clearly displayed on your caller ID, IT IS SCAM. 4# CALL the company and ask about the person who signed the job offer. 5# Check this link: http://fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26491 it has a useful info. 6# Make a police report, in your countrey, OR, if it's in UK: info@actionfraud.org.uk
