Job Scam: Omni Canadian
Well, this is obviously a scam, but it's not 100% clear whether it's plain advance fee fraud or a despicable plot to get people stuck on a ship without proper visas and whatnot, where they are obliged to work for pittance. Whatever -- just don't get involved with unsolicited bulk-mailed job ads like this: they're fishing for victims, not employees. I'll provide more information if I get any. Oh, and I should mention that if there is a real "Omni Canadian Hotels", then these fraudsters almost certainly have nothing to do with them. They're mailing from a free yahoo.ca account, after all.

Update 2006-03-08 05:59: I've received a similar email, subject "THIS IS FROM CANADA HOTEL", with contact address "cana_ominihotel@yahoo.ca". I now suspect this is Advance Fee Fraud: an attempt to con you into paying for a bunch of fake visas and other permits on the pretext that you need them to get a job.

Well, there certainly are Omni Hotels, they operate throughout North America, both in Canada and the U.S. This gives this kind of "job offer" an air of legitimacy that is, undoubtably, unwarranted.
