It's not Zimex. (They use http://www.zimex.com btw)

A quick check of the website associated with the domain name used in this e-mail just screams "advance fee fraud" to me. As I'm writing these lines, http://www.ymex-sd.com leads to a webmail login page.

Here's a bit of info from a WHOIS query too, which should be of interest:

Domain name: ymex-sd.com

Registrant Contact:
Ymex (Pty) Ltd
Jose Pasquet (josepasquet@myrealbox.com)
+244923376724
Fax: +1.1234567890
PO BOX 4380
MBABANE, HO H100
SZ (That's Swaziland btw, which isn't even close to Zurich where they claim to be from.)

Administrative Contact:
Ymex (Pty) Ltd
Jose Pasquet (josepasquet@myrealbox.com)
+244923376724
Fax: +1.1234567890
PO BOX 4380
MBABANE, HO H100
SZ

So I'd stay away, and never, ever send them any money for any reason.

Goodbye,

Louis

I just got a application form marked Aero Management Services....e-mail address has changed also....it matches the application. I dont believe this is a scam ad.

Hi outsider

I would just buy a $2 long distance phone card and phone them,give it a try and you may be nicely surprised.

Best of luck

Use YAK, but don't sign up. Goes on your normal bill. Cheap like borscht.
