Princess Cruise Line
The above email was sent by “Management” from this email address: princesscruisevacancy1.55@sapo.mz
I, Stephan, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Management”:
You are asked to forward your cv to “princesscruisejobapplication@yandex.com” email address which refers to a Russian destination as Yandex (Russian: ??????) is a Russian Internet company which operates the largest search engine in Russia. The senders email address “princesscruisevacancy1.55@sapo.mz” points to Mozambique! The company’s address “Princess Cruise Line Australia Office BondBondi Junction Lindifield Sydney 2070, NSW Australia” does nor exist and a search revealed another scam warning, similar than the email I received. I was interested in the job profile of a “Nurse Photo Manager” but could not find any!
This is again a fraud alert and a scam.
