Scam Victims Compensation Payments
Yep, another scam email wormed it's way into my email box. Again, I am impressed by the creativity, excellent grammar and spelling. I'm also touched by their generous offer to give me $500k for being victimized, while they so cleverly look for a way to take my money as a $155 service fee. Thanks guys! (more...)
GDI Scam
So a couple days ago I received an email about a data entry job. It sounded very legitimate, since it was written by a person, rather than one of those flashy, obvious sales e-mails. My instinct told me this was probably just a ploy to get me to sign up for something, but I figured I should find out if it was a real work at home job. [...]

But although I've been trying to work [...]
Scam Accounting Job
Watch out for this one! I just got an email and it almost looks legitimate since they are supposedly looking for a receivables clerk or bookkeeper. You don't generally think of those types of jobs as lending themselves to scams. Unfortunately, con artists figure out a way around everything. (more...)

Hey I Won the Lottery!
I must get a scam e-mail at least once per day. This one is awesome because apparently I managed to win a lottery that I didn't even enter. It's like MAGIC!!!! All my dreams are coming true! My favorites, as with most of these parasitic e-mails are the misspellings and general butchering of the English language. (more...)
