Initially I was not that doubtfull and was not aware of these kind of scams.So,I replied back with my details and my resume attached with the mail.
Within 5 days they replied back with a detailed offer letter attached with another mail and also with a Visa Clearence Form.
The details in the offer letter are too good to be true and to my great astonishment I found that they have several grammatical and spelling mistakes in the offer.And then I also noticed that the mail id is of yahoo,where as being such big company they should have their own domain as address.The 2nd mail is copied and pasted below for further reference:-( and I can also send both the documents sent to me by them is required)

Now,for cross checking when I visited MICHELIN TYRES PLC LONDON's site ,I saw that in the Recruitment page they have mentioned these kind of frauds and have also stated that-

"PLEASE NOTE:

It has come to our attention that individuals in India, China and other countries have been approached via e-mail and offered employment in the United Kingdom by someone using the company name of Michelin Tyre PLC.

These offers of employment have not been authorised by Michelin Tyre PLC or any related companies.

We have reported this activity to the authorities in the United Kingdom and recommend that anyone targeted this way not give out personal details or pay any money, but inform their local authorities."

Thats why I thought for launching a complaint in the consumer forum.Please help.
