SCAM ALERT: PHARMAMED is a fraud!
Have you received an email like the one below, claiming to be from PHARMAMED Limited? IT IS A SCAM! An example of this email is shown farther down this page.
Jobs websites in the U.S. and U.K. (and other countries) like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com can be an excellent, efficient way for job-seekers to find employers and learn about new job openings. Unfortunately, it also is being used by scammers to get your identity information. There are also scammers creating fake job notifications that look like they came from Monster.com directly.
These appear to be nothing more than the AFF (Advance Fee Fraud), a money transfer scam (see this page) targeting residents of the U.S. and Canada. We're currently investigating these. We noticed a pattern when our own staff started receiving them in the past week (mid-February 2007). We created a dummy resume with a fake contact address, phone and email that we set up to receive the response.
CFR RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT CONTACT THEM OR GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION
Do you have a resume posted online? We'd like to hear from you about your experiences recruiting emails that turned out to be scams or misleading - click here to write us. We suspect these are possibly a new wave of identity theft attacks.

-Why do we prefer hiring people instead of opening an office over in Canada?
-Because it is far cheaper paying a comission of 12% rather than going through all the paper hassle of registering a business in Canada and opening offices all over the country. Besides, there is no certainty that our company will succeed selling the products in Canada, that's why it is called a Market Test. Upon, a successful result, we will being opening offices in the United States.
