I received the same email on the 9th July, I applied for my husband and they sent through the Offer Letter and the GATSA Form. I almost sent through his passport copy and all our details, but something in me said I should google champbellwrit -christchambers.com, and that's when I came across all other peoples email about a scam.My husband was so excited in going and work overseas. These people must be bought to justice as there are playing with other peoples feelings.
Here is another email scam:"Dear applicant,We got your message , but quite unfortunate that our organization doesnot assist financially in completing documentations, unless reimbursementthat comes when the applicant must have complete the travel process, showingand proving that he or she is serious and competent for the service.We regret any in conveniences this might cause.

I have received same email.
Thank you Lord for checking this if it is legitimate. I also got the very same info as this.....Omg!
I got the same.... and I filled each and everyone of them as I was about to send the money.. I came across this site... God is indeed a Good GOD..
We almost fell into the same trap. My son-in-law went to the bank to send the money via Moneygram. Luckily the bank refused to do it if we do not have an invoice from Campbell Writt. He had plenty of story's why he can not supply us with an invoice. He even gave us banking details of a person in the Ivory coast in Africa to send the money to. BEWARE, It is a big scam. Kallie, R.S.A
I am a Namibian who also received an offer from Mark Perlt on the 6th of January 2015.Luckily I Google his name as I could not get hold of him at his telephone no.If this is a scam whywhy haven't anyone done something thus far to stop the culprits I mean they are using the American Red Cross name. Surely that is an offence.
The entire things is illegal. The problem is most scammers like this are hard to track, & even when they do think they've found them, most of them are in African, or Arab states, so have no jurisdiction outside of America.They can ask for help from the countries the scam's from, but it's all depends on how the country of origin works with scams.
I am a Namibian and I am also received an offer From Mark Perlt recently. Thank you for the information.I was about to start with visa process. How did this people end up using the name for AMERICAN RED CROSS?
So it is a scam!!! I WAS ABOUT TO SEND THE MONEY. Oh thank you guys...........
