I’ve included in it’s entirety the latest bullshit scam email that I’ve received. There is so much wrong with this email I would hope that people would see it for what it is. Just in case though I’ve placed it here so as to warn off any unwary ‘get rich quick’ minded folk out there.
Without getting into too much detail here are some of the main points that make this particular email scream out SCAM!
- The grammar sucks big time!
- It’s addressed to Facebook User. What, you’ve just won a prize and they don;’t know your name.
- Didn’t come from my registered Facebook email account.
- Their contact details is pretty crappy as it’s a yahoo email address!
There is so many other things wrong with this email. Come on guys, have a little fun tell us some of the things that you’ve picked out that makes this a scam email.
