YOU BET I JUST GOT ONE MAYBE I CAN SCAM THEM.. ,
i just got a email about the off shore manager. Please be aware they are scam........
Another Nigerian scam letter masquerading as a company operating in the Philippines. I've received the same type of letter here in Los Angeles but they used a Malaysia instead for their scam. I even once called up a phone number they included but I got wary coz the guy who answered has an obvious African accent. And when he sensed that I was asking too many questions he just hung up the phone. What a turd.
Hi Alice,
I think it's cool that you called the number - but I think the name "TURD" was putting it lightly...Thanks for dropping by~Jennifer

I just received my scam-mail from the UK Offshore thugs - why is there nowhere to report these idiots to put a stop to this? I do need an extra income from home and already work 40 hrs weekly on-line for a legitimate company and got it through a friend who is the CEO - but now I don't know how to sort through the riff-raff to narrow it down to real offers. Any tips?
Hi Kathy, you can report them to the ISP they came from and if you know they are from the US, to the FTC at spam@uce.gov , but honestly it's a losing battle when it's so easy to go create a new 'free' email address in less than 5 minutes. Catching them is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Real offers for work at home jobs don't get sent out to undisclosed recipients in an Email. Only the scammers do this... consider this... would Wal-Mart send a total stranger a job offer through email not knowing firsthand that that person would even be qualified, much less an offer asking a stranger to handle their funds?
There are legitimate jobs online, but none of them go out soliciting via email. Just as you got the one you have, most come through referrals. Most of them also focus on telephone customer support like 1-800-flowers, Alpine Access, Live-ops, etc... And I do not know of any company that pays more than a normal 'in the office' position would pay. That's a big tip-off...
Data entry - that kind of legitimate work is typically going to be something like medical coding, but there again, you usually get that type information from a referral.
Processing checks and money orders or processing packages for a business? No matter what the line, what the story ... IT'S A SCAM.
Hopes this helps some. About the only defense we have is to post the SCAMS we get some place on the Internet and hope the next receiver will search before they act on the email.
Will we ever stop the criminal mind from trying to rip off innocent victims? That would be a dream come true.

Received the hotmail from Randy L. Davis but waiting for the checks to be processes. definitely a scam.

Yes, received this email. I think you can be sure that anything coming out of UK with gmail.com is going to be a scam. Seems like all these scam emails use the gmail.com site and boy are there alot of them. Why can't UK stop these folks from trying to money launder through the United States, this scam devalues our dollar!
