Is this a Scam??

Posted in the wrong forum so helping out.....

How to POST
Can anyone pls tell me how to POST?????? because I just could't manage to post my question which is shown bellow... Thx in advance.

I would like to find out about Qatar Airways UK, I have received an email( after I wrote to them) concerning seeking a job and if they offer training for PPL holders. I got an email back with all the info,job code,and the SOFT copy of Employment Agreement letter to be signed and sent back. the site called [email protected] and the letter is signed and stamped by CHRIS HUMPHERY, HR manager of Qatar Airways.

Qatar don't recruit using a gmail address.

And qatar Airways UK is the UK office for Qatar Airways in Qatar. They don't have anything to do with the operations of the flight ops deptment.

Yep a huge scam in my opinion.

Why would an airline, which has its own domain name, send out emails using Gmail and Yahoo addresses? That alone should be enough of a warning.

Unlikely spelling : CHRIS HUMPHERY

Check the headers, the original is likely to be Nigeria.

Gentleman concerned had posted in item on pprune requesting instructions how to post an item on pprune.

Has chosen the SHFNI thread in the military forum (that's Support Helicopter Force Northern Ireland) to raise questions about airline recruitment.

Then you have the content of the message that I am 90% sure is a scam. Airlines, governments and multi-national corporations don't do business through hotmail and gmail accounts, despite what Nigerian scammers may suggest.

A lot of things don't add up about this. Contact the airline directly through official channels for clarification. Don't send money, documents, confidential data to people with incorrectly spelt names using webmail addresses.

Ibi had written to me at the Towers regarding whether or not this was a scam.

I suggested he post the message in open forum but it appears he's not to used to the software. I'll post a copy over on the Middle East forum as well and then link him in to both threads.

Thanks to those who helped with steering this the right way.

it s a scam but mine is not.

I have 8positions on 320 for 200h pilots in my airline(absolutely no experience required,cpl is enough), inscription is 50$ paid by Western Union.

again, this is NOT a scam.

pm me please and give me your WU MTCN (transfer number) and password(payment must be done to captainsuperstorm before the 15th april to be considered)! after payment, we will need copy of your license to get you a seat.

I hope to see you soon on our flightdecks!
