Some body told me that they are ready to hire me but for that I have to have work permit, I have told them, that if you provide me a job than I can apply for a work permit or visa at here in Embassy. After this they stopped mailing me.
I am not looking for a big position. I am ready to do any type of work in a TV production house or in Camera Rental Company. Like Camera Assistant, Camera Attendant , I can do Camera Also, I am ready to do work like office boy, peon, any kind of back up work in production.

ANY time I get a letter like this (broken grammar) I send it to my local FBI for authentication. Their are too many scams going around and the feds don't mind catching a criminal. If they get back to you it's probably legit, if you never hear from the feds, they are investigating further.

My two cents!

When I was in news, I did investigative stories on scams like this. It reeks! I'm sure at some point they will ask for a bank account number so you can "hold" his assests while he buys a new camera. The funny part is, people fall for this.

Like the letter of a prince who wants to come to America and needs to deposit his millions of dollars to your bank account so his money will be safe. Really? You picked me? Out of the millions and millions of people in this country, Mr. Prince is picking me? Ok - here's all my bank account information so you can deposit it in my account for safekeeping.

You can't fix stupid.

Just reply back to the person and remind them that they can get many jobs without leaving their own country. All they have to do is change their first name to something that sounds American like John, Brent, Eric, etc. Then they can move to the city of Noida and work for many large American companies who have farmed out telephone tech support jobs that used to belong to American workers.

Better yet, offer to give them a job, but only after they show how determined they are by sending YOU $1000/month until you can arrange for the trip.

I've received that e-mail. Anybody that gives something like this more than a nanosecond's worth of consideration should have their head examined.
It provided a good laugh.

I flew that guy in for a day's work because I felt bad for him.
When he put the headphones over his eyes I became suspicious that he didn't really know what he was doing. It wasn't until he started scratching his back
with the boompole that I knew for sure he was a fraud. Everybody knows
that's what gobo arms are for.

And if it doesn't have wheels, slide it across the floor. ;)
