Work while at home designation should tip you off that something is just not quite right here and it isn't.
The company mentioned here is real and the website does exist. It is real. This is an honest, real american company and they do have jobs but they do not have home scam jobs.
It is the alleged work at home job offer that is not real. It is a nigerian scam.
When the stupid scammer included the real company's website in this fake-email, you can find the disclaimer on tthe real company's site under 'about tangram' designation and then "employment" that the company is aware of the scam. They are not offering these sort of jobs and would like to get to the bottom of this.
They are a legitimate business.
The employment service offering the work at home business opportunity and using their name is not legitimate!
Here is the disclaimer from the real tangram interior site. (they are in california usa —not in nigeria!):
Important public notice.
Our Company is a victim of an Internet scam. Unscrupulous individual (s) are using our Company name and our website to perpetrate a fraud. If you receive an email regarding a job opening that invites you to work from home and process payments (money orders or money drafts) please do not respond. The individual (s) use a variety of names from various Internet Service Providers such as AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. And represent themselves as being a part of our Company recruiting. This is not true. They may ask for personal information as a requirement to be hired to process money order and/or bank drafts. They may ask you to deposit these payments in your bank account and tell you to keep 10% for yourself and send them 90%. The documents are counterfeit (forgeries). This type of Internet crime may be reported at the following address: http://www.ic3. Gov/
Tangram along with Federal authorities are doing everything possible to identify these individual (s) and prosecute this crime.
This scammer is in no way affiliated with tangram interiors co. That is located in santa fe springs, ca. I have included the authentic corporate hq phone no. And fax so you can call them and check for yourself and look them up in the yellow pages to confirm their authenticity.
Here is the fake job offer as it appeared in my e-mail box:
