Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

We got one sent to an incoming box that we use to accept resumes from people. It sure does sound convincing. I will forward to gmail also. My Secretary thought it might be something real and printed it for me. Thanks for the blog. It helped see that it was a scam...just as I thought.

Come on people, any bussiness that doesn't own a domain and uses gmail, hotmail, or any other webmail for work email is a SCAM. Any bussiness that can pay a salary can afford @companyname.com. Also the other thing to notice about this scam is it comes from hotmail account and asks to reply to a gmail account, again (SCAM SCAM SCAM) it just screams it at you. Sorry I've been getting these all week in one form or another, and I harldy get junk mail, wonder what I ddi that made me start getting this junk.
