Be wary of employment contracts touted by email
Released 14 Mar 2011
Farmers should treat the email sent from ‘Client Lists Ltd' with caution. This company was only incorporated last June and there is no contact address or even a telephone number. This alone should set off alarm bells. A Companies Office search shows it has one Director and this person is listed on another website as a ‘Governing Director' of Kaimai Palms Golf Resort Ltd. Members should note this development went into receivership in April 2010 and is now in liquidation under the control of Hamilton's Indepth Forensic Limited.
