Scam Accounting Job
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Watch 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.

Friday, July 24th, 2009I 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!!!!

Partnership Request from Gary Loopy
