Wanted: Persons seeking high paying corporate jobs in the Cayman Islands. Live the life of your dreams as you work for Globular Corp. Serious inquiries only. Send your resume to Amy Rickson at XXXXXX. Out of curiosity, you e-mail Amy your resume and get the following e-mail the next day:
Congratulations!! We have reviewed your resume and determined you are exactly the kind of employee we are looking for to fill the position at Globular Corp. in the Cayman Islands. We would like to interview you in the Cayman Islands. We would like to fly you here, put you up in a five-star hotel, and see if you are a good fit for our company. However, in the past, we have purchased tickets and had people not come for the interview. To prevent this, we have the policy of requiring interviewees to wire us $500 to cover the cost of the tickets. You will then be refunded this money in full when you show up for the interview. Please respond to this e-mail with a range of days in which you will be available to interview and wire the $500 to XXXXXX account as soon as possible so we can purchase the tickets. Thank you, and we looking forward to meeting with you.
How would you respond to this e-mail? What do you think might happen if you send the money?
