Thank God I found this site, looks like a pretty elaborate Scam, including a fake website. I was told it was Ghana Gold Corporation, along with the nefarious Engr. Wilfred Adams which were offering me the job pasted below job. I was initially concerned as he was using an @live.com email address. I hope everyone who is contacted by this person sees these posts so they don't end up sending money. I'm glad I didn't fall for it but it's easy to see how people can be tricked, stay vigilant people, I have also contacted careermine to let them know of the scam.
