Job Scam: "Mercury Industries" also at mercuryindustries.org
The job scammers calling themselves "Mercury Industries" have started using the domain name "mercuryindustries.org" in addition to the "mercuryindustries.com" we've already seen. I sent them a request for additional information, and someone using the name "Mike White" and address "m.white@mercuryindustries.org" responded to it. The "additional information" they sent contained no additional information -- the job description is still terribly vague, including the nebulous catch-all phrase "will have to process sales and follow our instructions" which reeks of money laundering.
Even though the text isn't very informative, I'll post it below for the benefit of the search engines.
