So does this look suspicious to you?

[Scouse]

I recived this email yesterday, I'm pretty sure that it is not from seek as all email's from them show up as "SEEK Service" in the from column in outlook, this message showed up as "Seek" in the from column. I have reported this to Seek as they may have a worker who is passing on client details to spammers. The message reads.

Seems to me somebody wants to see how gullible you really are!! Good on ya for gettin it checked out you'd be gutted if it was a scam ( which it looks like ) and you didn't. If it's ligit then kwl make some sweet dosh

Ask yourself some basic questions mate: why would they need to transfer the money through NZ and more specifically your bank account? This can be done perfectly well through any reputable bank without any help from you.
Realistically, how many jobs are there out there that pay $250 an hour plus commissions just for sitting at your computer transferring money from one account to the other?
Scam, scam, scam.

I used to get quite a few of these but the reply address was something along the lines of @wwwseek.com.au.. dodgy as a man with a scalpel at a bar mitzvah. I changed my address on seek to buggeroff@nowhere.com. Haven't received one since.
