Watch out for this scam

Postby turbotim » September 18th, 2008, 2:47 am

I recieved this e-mail this morning. This seems to be a little bit odd.. It says your base salary is $7500 a month for the first quarter which sounds too good. :lol: I will attach the employment agreement too. What's the verdict...

I don't see how this could be a scam...I consistently get emails from Nigerian and Kenyan individuals who are heirs to large sums of money, asking me for temporary financial assistance. Every now and then I feel compelled to help and even though I never see the promised return on my money, I know I have done something good just by their correspondence with me.

Something like this starting out at 7500 isn't too good to be true! Try it out!

I thought so too... This is on my school e-mail account which I did not put on anything. The only thing it is on is my school website. Is that where they got my email from? I just got this e-mail in August. They are quick!!

Addressing this to Mr/Mrs is a big red flag to me. You would think that if this was not a scam they would at least address you by your name. :roll:

Yep,
if it is an email starting out with Mr/Mrs and is offering anything, it is a scam.
