[pchelpers] News:Phishing site offers 'job' at children's charity

Bogus offer requires 'cash up front'

A website that purports to help underprivileged children is actually a 
scam to dupe users into laundering money, a security company has warned.

A mass email detected by PandaLabs offers jobs at a supposed 
organisation committed to helping deprived children, but is actually a 
strategy to find unwary people to launder stolen money.

The emails have subjects like 'Best Job No Experience Needed', while the 
message body offers a well-paid job working only a few hours a day for 
the bogus organisation.

Note: I have received many of these messages over a long period and 
treated them as junk.
