Thanks for your interest in this position, I will deeply appreciate all genuine efforts to help me monitor and keep up to date with all my activities.

Basic wage is $500 a weekly About me:

My name is Mr Lyle Ulrey ,i have a family of 3 and i am a Realtor and Lawyer.I travel alot,hence the reason why i need an assistant to handle affairs for me on the home front when i am away on business which is usually quite often.

Welcome to Eater, ladyoscar and good job on spotting the scam job!

Can you post up the headers for the email (deleting your own email address)? This email address [email protected] looks to be coming from a new domain fleetrange.com and should be killed by one of our site killers, however we would need the header from the scam email.

You can post it up here in the thread. If you need help finding the headers, just ask and we can help. Very Happy

Hello djmark316!

Glad you spotted that this is a scam - good for you. Is there any way you are able to post the headers of that email? If you don't know how, just ask.

I'm starting a thread in the Fake Bank forum to get this email domain shut down.

Good catch, and glad you didn't fall for it! Thumbs up

Hi All,

Just wanted to share: the words "client hold" means this domain can NEVER be used again:

Updated Date: 21-jun-2011 <----today!!

This means that all of those Craigslist ads (and there are tons all over the internet) which use any email "info@fleetrange", "sales@fleetrange", etc. are now useless, because nobody can reply as the domain has been permanently suspended.
