My husband received this exciting offer in his e-mail this morning. It was from a totally legitimate sounding, business-like e-mail address, too: correspond@bonbon . net:

Well, my husband wasn't really an "interested applicant," since he's happy with his job and isn't going to be lured away.
But I would love to have a piece of this action! I'm sure all I have to do is give them all my bank information during my interview and then wire them a large deposit to prove that I know how to send money.
Then I can just sit back and let the bucks roll in!
Oh gosh me too, send me money. That's 2 of the 24 positions filled, and I sent them my social security numberr too to get me to the top of the hiring list. Can't wait!! LOL.
Good thinking, Corinne! You're obviously on the fast-track at Emerson!
Unfortunately there are many people who do fall for this ... its sad too ... for so many reasons on so many different levels. Scams are everywhere!
I guess living in this politically correct society that they have a right to do this. But I wish the government would be more protective because I know some unsuspecting person would probably take them up on it.
This scam e-mail has been making the rounds for more than a year. You think they would have filled all the positions by now.
I take it you two are not going to apply, Kathleen and Joyce? :)
Sadly, there are people who will fall for this. There should be some way to stop this kind of scam.
Robin...
So all I have to do is process the payments at my local bank? Wow, that doesn't sound like a scam at all! lol
Robin,
I've been an Emerson affiliate for over a year. Didn't you see my new Escalade last time we had lunch?
I'm getting ready to enjoy my new hot tub in a few. Yes, I know it is raining, but the covered walkway and patio surround I bought with my Emerson dollars paved the way.
Wow, Melissa! Are you willing to mentor Corinne and me?
Robin,
More like sit back and watch the bucks roll OUT!

And I thought it was my resume that got me the job?/
