Scam?!?
I assume so, but thought I'd throw it out there. Recieved this verbatim in an e-mail.

Replace "Philipeans" with "Nigeria" and I think you have your answer.
So, are you going to mess with them? |

It's definitely, totally, completely ...a scam.

Good rule of thumb...if you have to ask if something is a scam...it more than likely is.
This? No question about it. |
People still open emails from unknowns????:eek:

what do you mean scam? i meant every word in that email i sent to FailedEagle. i'll have y'all know that i have that $10.2 million waiting to be transferred; i just need a plausible next of kin. why make it hard on me?
|
My first thought is...SPAM. Just delete it and move on. If someone were to do that in real life they wouldn't contact you by email.

Two things:
1.) if the person says they're in a high ranking position and emailing officially from their company, they're not going to use a free email account like yahoo. 2.) if you don't know who it is emailing you and they ask for your help, promising to make you rich in the process, it's a scam. |
3. if they promise to make you rich, when they could easily make themselves rich, its a scam.
4. if anyone uses that many superlatives to describe anything, it is a scam. 5. if anyone uses capitalization in the way that email does, its a nigerian scammer trying fresh waters. 6. if someone works in that kind of job and doesn't have a confidentiality notice on their email, its a scam. 7. pull a crack on them if you've got some time. however, i think you should modify the particulars of his approach, but go with the same basic concept. |
Well... this could be fun...

God, I..."Crack" myself up, sometimes. :lol: |
Depends on what you want to do. You could search for what Crack did to the Nigerian man who e-mailed him an e-mail that looked almost the same as the one that you got.Me personally, I would do it. It may take some time, but WOULD be worth it. Im sure all of us on here would love to hear what happens this time, and maybe compare with what happened before to see if they have wised up some.
