Work permits are issued by embassies, not solicitors. Did you check with the Netherlands embassy in your country?

Work permits are issued by the CWI & IND in the Netherlands and an employer must apply on your behalf, NOT a solicitor. Unless you have highly specialist skills which are in short demand in Europe a work permit would not be granted in any case. So then it is likely that they are indeed such another bunch of Nigerian scammers Anyway you don't give any details (address, phone number etc) so it's almost impossible to check, but I did google it and the only listings are from vague 3rd party sites and is the typical scammer style language there, plus they use the Email @lawyer.com. I checked and this is a freemail which anyone can make. NO reputable lawyer in the Netherlands would EVER use a freemail account so this confirms it for me Secondly there is no listing for Rolaart as a business name anywhere in the Netherlands - I checked it with the KvK (Chamber of Commerce) reigster So yes, they are 100% for sure another set of scammers EDIT - I found this http://vanderrolaartparters.en.ec21.com/company_info.jsp and they list their contact details as: Mrs. Annije van der Oosterijp Hoofdstraat 123 Leeuwarden Noord 2543wd Netherlands 31 - 628 - 693618 31 - 847 - 244897 Mrs. Annije van der Oosterijp - very obviously a made up name and too silly for words Hoofdstraat 123 Leeuwarden Noord 2543wd Netherlands - there is no Hoofdstraat in Leeuwarden and the postcode 2543 WD doesn't exist 31 - 628 - 693618 - mobile number - ask yourself why a reputatble firm would only give a mobile contact number 31 - 847 - 244897 - 847 is not an area code in the Netherlands so I assume this is a redirect number which means you can be faxing it anywhere in the world Total utter scammers

Absolutely sounds like a scam, Kevin. When an E-mail offer sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely not true. It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both! Do not respond to it. Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on. Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization. And for your E-mail safety, remember: Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam. Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you. Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door. And do not ever send money, checks or money orders to; or cash checks, money orders for any one - ever.
