Actually I sent a private message to Dude a few minutes ago  (private
because I hadn't researched what I told him) about a similar scam. I
received a mail offering me a highly paid EMEA job, provided I'd take
the time to do a few tests. The first test I looked at was
ridiculously easy and I had the feeling that, should I have completed
the first step successfully I would have been offered a more advanced
test involving some fees...

That was fairly well targeted (managerial EMEA position), almost
believable. The headers were pointing to some private user in
Portugal. And since I haven't ever posted a resume anywhere...

Could be a new trend...
 
If it's a scam, then it's a rather good one. Maybe we should investigate, 
and spread the word if it is a scam.
