419 fraud from Alex de Carvalho, UK Holiday Inn Hotels, Kensington Forum

by Alex. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.

It turns out some­one has been send­ing out employ­ment offers around the world promis­ing a job at the Hol­i­day Inn Kens­ing­ton Forum in the UK. The let­ters are signed “Alex de Carvalho”.

For the record, I am not the Alex de Car­valho in ques­tion. I do not work for the Hol­i­day Inn, I do not live in the UK, and I am not related to the per­son who is send­ing out these letters.
