    Is W. Hinkley [email protected] a legal recruitment agency?
    I received email about a job proposal in Dublin Ireland from W. Hinkley <[email protected]> and they were asking me to pay processing fee for the requirements to Translation ABC in order for me to get started with the application procedure... is this really legitimate?? Please help me..

    Smells like a SCAM to me.
    Did you actually apply for a job with these people or was it a "cold call" ?

    NO legitimate company will ask for a processing fee to apply for a job!!

    NO! Ireland is in a recession. But even if they weren't, IGNORE any email you get about any subject whatsoever that wants money from you. Chances of it being a scam: 100%.

    These type asking for money is pure scams, If you did not apply for a job there, they don't just send randam emails to hire people

    I also got the same email.. I already paid 32 euro to process my documents and this is from Translation ABC. Please check this link: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=13335

    You will notice that the process is also the same. I am thinking that they only changed their name to Apply@build career.

    Scams don't deliver what they promise, so no, no one succeeded with their application.

    Heck, I got a similar email the other day, not the same company name, but an offer for a job in Switzerland. LMAO! Why the hell would a married mother of two uproot her kids to work as a dishwasher in Switzerland? Especially a married mother of two with a college degree?

    Clue one is that they usually don't even mention your name in the email. Why would someone offer you a job when they don't even know who you are?

    Think about it.

    Never send money to anyone contacting you by email.

    It's a freakin scam!! I was one of those whom they emailed... guess what? I called up the employer they were referring... the employer was clueless about apply@build-career!! They confirmed it was a scam.. they said they weren't hiring! And they have 1 agency only and its definitely not apply@build-career!!

    Right! And they don't even say the name of their company... when I asked them about their company, they said its OppM company... imagine, oppm? Then they only use an email add recruiting employees? Not in a single email they sent me did they ever mention their company name... plus try calling the employer they are giving... they are clueless about apply@build-career!!
