Re: OT: Part time Cisco work with CCIE Number

Hi Eman,

I am on your linkedin and facebook fans. Thank you for your advise.

I was stretching my head when I read his email (after his request to
connect my LinkedIn approved) ask me to fill my paticulars CCIE numbers ,
passport/visa US on his first email.

How can his client tie CCIE number with remote consultation per hour and
promise full time job in the future. I am living in Singapore, his agency
(payroll) in India and client US company.

Well, he may try his luck (b
ob
)
