As I know there are several people on here like me who are looking for work, I thought I'd give you guys a heads up. I got this email today from a company that I later looked up, and it's all bull crap. It's really, really annoyed me in all honesty. A month and a half later and I'm still jobless, and it's days like today it feels so worth it to be 20k in debt from a degree.

Here is the email in full:

Recruitment Manager

The company went under the name of IT Group Ltd ( http://www.it-groupltd.com/job/finance2?lang=uk) and research has suggested to me similar offers to this have led to people unknowingly laundering money for criminals.

Anyroad, I've reported these scheming pieces of filth and I just wanted to make sure no job seeker on here falls for it. They have been known to send this information through other email addresses and companies. Things like this disgust me, and I'm just a little angry at their audacity!

    There's loads of scam jobs all over the shop.
    I'm sure most of them probably aren't connected to money laundering, but they have some kind of agenda.
    Its disgusting, taking advantage of desperate people.

    Anyone who would fall for that does not deserve a job.
