    Default Is this a conman???

    Today I received what appears to be a very genuine e-mail from a Captain Vladimir Molpovan offering positions at sea for anyone willing to sign up. It appears from the message that he has jobs of all descriptions to those interested. Somehow I consider this to be a con of some sort, he gives a web site,
    www. best.maratime-mail.info/ocupation.PHS
    Have any of you received similar and what do you think of it?
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    The fact that the word Maritime is incorrectly spelt,makes me very suspicious. I wouldn't touch it with a Bargepole.

    Question beware of the rocks

    Hi Happy john in oz Hi Shipmates is it a con? How much must you send to do the paper work? and your bank details and pin numbers? dont' do anything unless he sends you a big advance on your wages? but only after you have spent it in the old fashion merchant navy way, on wine or rum woman and song !!! Dont forget to drop me a line to help you spend it. Could do with a few extra rums and a talk about old times!!!
