So I've recently been contacted by a man from the UK that goes by the name of Chris Tann with the offer of making 22,500 GBP which equates to roughly 44k USD. Not bad right?

Well considering that I'm always cautious of random emails and phone calls I recieve I used the trusty google.com and what did I find? Well a bunch of sites that call this individual out as a scammer!

Click here for the google search terms I used in case you want to read for yourself.

Here is a quote from the email I recieved with the job offer and full contact details. I'm considering stopping by this place when I'm in London later this month and I'll snap a few photos of the place
