While browsing through jobs on kijiji, I came across a part-time flexible administrative assistant position. I decided to apply and next day I heard from them. While reading the e-mail, it sounded kind of fishy. I had never heard of travelzoo before, so I decided to visit their website through the link that "Jane Wilson" had provided. After doing some research about the company I thought it was an ok to reply to this job offer.
This is the first email that I got:

After being stupid enough to complete the application form, which unfortunately includes name and last name, as well as address, I replied to this job offer.
They got back to me the next day, which was a saturday, and i didnt check my email until sunday and was surprised that they were working on a saturday so it started feeling wrong. Moreover the job description, consists of e-interact transfers that customers send to you. So it really sounded like a scam from the start, however they had taken their time to write things in a somewhat professional way. Anyways after doing a bit research I realized that it is a scam as I feared. Please don't be fooled, they offer too good of a salary for this to be true. I emailed travelzoo(the legit one)and asked them if that email belong to them, and I am still waiting for a reply. I hope they take some action.
