Job Scam: starlinecruise.com
(A more recent posting on this scam can be found here.)
A bit like the recent "Omni Canadian" job scam, it's not 100% clear what little game these fraudsters are playing. What is slightly amusing is that this particular spam had a text-file attached -- one that contained a list of 2100 email addresses, including the one belonging to this blog, so it's presumably the list of addressees. Do they (a) have a lot of job vacancies, or are they (b) just fishing for suckers to scam? I'm going with "b" on this one.
Also, I advise against going to their website: there may be hostile code there which attemtps to take over your computer. I'm not in a position to verify whether it's safe or not.

It seems that Malaysia is still the world capital of cruise line job scams, then.
Check out www.worldcruize.org.
They use the same address as Royal Cruise Company.
Any idea how I can get my money back from these fraudsters.

thank god I just escaped
take care guys......
This guy has scammed me out of millions. He has several aliases. They operate out of malysia, the uk, nigeria and usa.
I received an email from Mrs T H Kotzee - star cruise line Sydney Australia..
Her email said: Working onboard a cruise liner is a life time opportunity. From your profile and recent experience you are likely to be favoured etc... I was asked to fill in documents which I did.. the only thing that was a little off was that I was receiving emails from her at strange hours. I live in South Africa and 1.23pm here is 1.23 am there... do they work 24hours a day and reply to emails? No money has been asked from me as yet, but I have a Skype interview to work for a top hotel in Dubai today... I want to believe this cruise job is legit but I am afraid to turn down the Dubai opportunity.... what to do? what to do? feeling very unsure
What's the email address of this alleged "Mrs T H Kotzee"? If you do a search on that name, you'll find it's been used in cruise line scams quite recently.
i just received one from "star cruise line asia pacific". they said i have to pay for an IMLC(Interim Maritime Labour Cerificate) i don't even know if that was made up or what, and the price is 575 USD. It's funny how they are based in Brazil but their address on google maps doesn't exist,well their street address. So please be ware!!I was so disappointed but thank God for intuition or else my money would've been stolen
