Mary,

Well said. I was wondering the same things. So I went to the domain name of the recruiter mentioned in the posts (NOT of the person who posted the two messages). In this case www.excel-cro.com appears to be a Excel Pharma Studies, clinical research company in China. I suspect that they may be doing business multinational as so many pharmaceutical research firms do these days. So, Mary, I think that answers your questions of where the job is located and what company the job is with.

I am ALWAYS suspect when a recruiter uses an email address that does not identify the company the recruiter represents. As a general rule is is best to ignore job posts with @gmail.com, @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com email addresses. Often these so-called recruiters are phishing for resume's and personal information, either to pad their portfolios in order to apply to client companies to get on their prime vender list or in worst case it is true cyber phishing scams. This subject has been discussed in depth on some of the SAS professional groups on LinkedIn.

Unfortunately, folk who haven't "been around the block" or are just innocently naive can get taken advantage of. The unscrupulous will take advantage of the innocent and trusting people.
