Another scam in the name of Total Oil and Gas Company.
My friend got contacted from a reputable vacancy ad website, offering him the position of Senior Project Manager.
The scam was essentially the same and rather simple - very official language, asking for copies of documents and also a face-to-face interview in their office in Watford, UK.
The scamming part comes from their insisting on using their partner travel agency, and to pay about 900 quid for the travel expenses (initially), to show the candidate's "commitment". We didn't fall for it, but I'm assuming that more expense were to come had we sent them the initial 900.
I've come across other similar scams, all of them using TOTAL Oil and Gas name, but with different variations and travel agencies:
Peace-alliance tours and travels — job offer scam
I shall paste the email and their contact details here to warn anyone who is tempted buy such a lavish job offer in UK.
Stay safe!

Hi Everyone,
Actually, I've just received a similar email and sensed it was a fake offer staight away. These idoits use hints like a logged business email in gmail or hotmail...etc and also they do insist that you should pay first before you go ahead with the rest of the process and also the language and length of the message tells you a lot.
Anyway, try to stay safe! Cheers. HB

I received an email exactly the same as it has been shown. It is a fake employment contract. Now it's Portugal the target.
Hi, everyone!
I've nothing to say, I recieved a letter just exactly as Naxxeem's and saying honestly I've nearly beilived it! Thanks God (and you, people) I've decided to chek all relevant issuies in the network first!
Don't believe these cheetres! They send their fake job offers to everybody who has sent an email request for a job to Total Company.

Hi, everyone!
The same have happened to me, just got contacted by those guys who took my e-mail from LinkedIn. I was amazed by the easiness of providing me such job with decent salary and pretty strange job description. But the document templates and logos, together with such approach, also the e-mail address was dodgy. Taking in account all of the above I have decided to double check all the details of the recruitment office and its details - found that all is fake, you, guys, just reassured me in that.
Thank you very much for discussing it. I'm going to send it to Total, Total UK, LinkedIn etc.

I got the same email and I think they have used the job ad in LinkedIn Turkey to gather my contact data. Of course the email address with the gmail extension was very suspicious, but to avoid the effects of this flaw, they put an email ending with total.com in the from field. Also, they have used the name of a real board member. It is a shame that Total lets this scam spread internationally, using their name. You can check the details from below:

Dear All,
I have received the same kind of invitation. After contacting with the travel agency and searching via internet, I found this webpage. Thanks for everyone's comment so that I didn't fall into it. I have called Total Hr and left a message. I am really surprised that such a scam in the name of Total Oil and Gas has not been prevented since May, 2011.
First, I have read the vacancy in Lİnkedin and then sent my resume to the contact person. Now, I realized that the person who issued the post in linkedin is a part of the game. Because the job description is prepared according to the person's capability and experience. Because the position offered to me was exactly in line with my experience.
I think everybody needs to inform Total. Regards, Eda Yeginaltay Kurt
I got the same mail and emailed to Total Oil directly through their website. Here's the answer, it may help
------------------------------
Dear Madam,
We thank you for your email which is unfortunately in line with others already received.
We are aware that recruitment organisations are approaching applicants and requesting payment in exchange for purportedly processing their application for a job at Total.
First be informed that Total, its subsidiaries and the organisations that it entrusts with its recruitment requirements do not and will not ask for money from applicants under any circumstance and at any point in the selection and recruitment process.
Therefore and as far as we can judge, the offer that you have received is obviously a fake.
We are naturally acting on the legal side in order to stop such fake proposals.
If you are interested in working for Total anywhere in the world, we invite you to visit directly our dedicated Website (www.careers.total.com).
We remain at your disposal on our website www.total.com.
Regards,
Webmaster.
Corporate Communication TOTAL
Why send people money for a job offer.
I got the same fake job offer. It turned out to be a scam. I know many would fall for it since it looks so real with official Total UK company address. To protect others from being victimized by this scam, I did the following:
1- Reported it to the FBI and Cybercrime.gov
2- Reported it to Total HR to inform them that they are responsible to stop the mis-use of their email otherwise they are part of this scam.
3- Emailed Didier Harel, Managing Director http://www.total.gb.com/apps_wex/totalcouk_contact/
All affected parties need to do same to stop this cybercrime.
Thank you, guys !
I've got the same invitation from TOTAL OIL & GAS company signed by Dr. Daniel Bouton PhD.
I was surprised when I saw request to pay 1000 euro them by Western Union.
Thanks on more time.
