job phishing scam

Here's a phishing scam in the form of a job offer. They want your personal details, eventually your banking details so they will rip you off. There is no job. Why would a company who you have never heard of, to whom you have never applied for a job, send you a speculative email? Note the mode of payment mentioned. This should always set off a warning light. Interestingly, it comes from a German based mailserver.
Again the golden rule, if it seems to good to be true, it is.
