I recently asked:
Is this web page and job legal?
http://london-finance.org/home.htm
Or is it a scam?
Now, just for to find out more, I actually aske the person contacting
me for the job if I would call the offices and he answered this:
Hello .
Our headquarters in Germany in this letter I provide to You our contact
information .
London Finance,
part of Berater Kreis GmbH
Goldbach Office Park
Daniel Goldbach Strasse 19
D-40880 Ratingen
Germany
+49-2102-108 503
My extension is 115, if you don't understand/connect -- just say my name
to receptionist. Thank you
Could you tell me if this is alegit job or not? (based on the new info?
Dear rurroz,
It's a scam. I am German, so I knew what to search for in this case.
Certainly, the address does exist. But is not the location of the
office of London Finance, but of General Electric Commercial
Distribution Finance Germany.
The telephone number also exists. It does not belong to some London
Finance manager, but to Clark Benkendorf, European president of
General Management and Business Development, General Electric
Commercial Distribution Finance. If you called +49-2102-108-503, you
would not talk to an receptionist, but to Mr. Benkendorf's secretary.
And there surely is no additional extension 115 - actually, the 503 is
already an extension. General Electric's main phone number in Ratingen
is (0)2102-108-0; anything behind the 108 is an extension for one of
the company's offices and divisions located in Ratingen. If you dialed
+49-2102-108-503-115, you would get nowhere.
See:

There also is no German company "Berater Kreis GmbH" - no search
engine and no directory knows them.
I would like to add that the address displays poor hyphenation. The
correct spelling is: Daniel-Goldbach-Stra e 19. Hard to believe that a
German businessman does not even know the correct German format for
writing street names. Apart from that, spelling "Stra e" with ss is
only allowed if one does not have a keyboard with an -key. But all
German keyboards include that character, so I guess that the person
who wrote that message is not located in Germany at all.
I suspect that the scammer simply hopes that you are impressed by the
address, but flinch from actually calling them because of the cost for
such a long distance call.
