SCAM ALERT!!:eek:

Why would they need a copy of your entire passport? Reason they give is rubbish.

And it was an automatic reply! How do they know what areas you are interested in or how can anyone have even looked at your application if the email was an autoreply!

Dont know where this company is based by the guys surname is Romanian. Not exactly the world centre of international recruitment agencies.

the request for your whole passport seems shifty alright... trust your gut on this i say

The Hill Billy

Dodgy as bejaysus. Just take a look at the site. No address (or country even), no phone number, no email addy, no company name, no mention of certification or registration as an employment agency. Basically a site that attempts to get you to provide them with your most personal of details & copies of identification.

Barge Pole. Touch. Wouldn't. Etc...

Slow Motion

Aye! Sounds scamandlaous! Maybe you should contact the metro and tell them not only are they a shite paper but they are getting revenue from scammers!

Saruman

More to the point, alert the fraud squad or whever looks after this sort of thing.

Scam--want your passport details so he can sell it to his mates waiting in Morocco or some other staging post--actually i cant believe you would even consider sending personal details to a unknown entity--protect your personal data or pay the price
