Email Scam - How can these people fool anyone?

[Friendchicken]

Seriously.. a pirated version of Word could pull out some of the obvious... and better yet, someone just out of college could re-work this to catch a few newbies. I love the part where they ask for your complete bank info, plus the bonus info they would need to set up fake accounts under your name.

I love reading those. They are so funny.

 

[iflyagfour]

The run-on titles mean it has to be real.....

 

[SupaNOVA]

Even if they fool 1 out of 100,000 people then they have succeeded in getting easy money.

 

[astrocreep96]

Wasn't there a news report about some lady who fell for one of these recently? She ended up tapping her families life savings to the tune of a few hundred thousand dollars that wound up in Nigeria.

Yes, people are that stupid in this country.

 

[JasonSnake]

They succeed in getting millions worldwide as I saw on NBC Dateline. They must be doing something right? And it's sad that the scammers from Nigeria know more about finance then most people

 

[Smileyboy]

I love this stuff, but i do feel sorry for people who fall for this stuff. its actually pritty easy to fall for this stuff if you find someone at the right time in their life. If they are desprite or depressed you can bleed them for thousands.

 

[VenomGTX]

That looks totally legit, look at all the big words!

From: Bullet Motorsports Speedlab <[email protected]>
Subject: Job Vacancy for you: no experience is necessary.
To: LGato


BMS, Bullet Motorsports Speedlab, was originally founded to turn "ordinary" BMWs into the fastest race cars possible. BMS race cars have won numerous national championships over the past four years and BMS continues to promote club racing through its driver development program. From their intimate knowledge of the inner workings of BMWs, and countless hours of track time testing products in a high-stress environment, BMS technicians are highly skilled in tuning BMWs and Minis for street applications. There are many misconceptions in the aftermarket tuning industry. Our job is to separate the truth from the hype, for the benefit of our customers. Of course, tuning by itself is insufficient without full knowledge of servicing not only BMW components, but also the full range of aftermarket equipment from superchargers to stereos. There is nothing on your BMW or Mini that BMS can't fix - or if you desire, improve.

Today we have a chance to announce a vacancy of a Regional Financial Manager. This is a part-time job position; you will be required to be available 1-2 hours a day. The purpose of this position is to be a part of company internal operational cash flow and deal with the local customer payments in particular. You will specifically be responsible to:

- Immediately notify when any payment arrives and inform company head office
- Process customer payments via Western Union and Money Gram services to the company regional warehouses
- Ensure each customer payment is dealt with in a quick, polite and efficient manner
- Make records on each new coming customer payment into a database
- Establish and maintain constructive working environment, so that to ensure high-speed payment delivery, provide the customers with the fastest possible service and attract extra

This position reports to a supervisor or manager. You will be paid net 10% commission out of every customer payment you have to deal with, all the related expenses will be covered by the company.

BMS - European nicest car design dealership - is looking for motivated, energetic, charismatic individuals to help grow its potential and customer base.
No experience is necessary. We will train the right individual. We do however require a great attitude and a healthy work ethic. Good 'people' skills are essential. Apart from that, you must be at least 18 years of age; proficient in Microsoft PC, with excellent communicational, organizational and interpersonal skills and ability to maintain composure during stressful situations.

With our track record of success, the diversity of work available and opportunities for promotion, travel and other benefits, BMS is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a job in a dynamic, rewarding and growing industry.

If youre ready to make a difference, and not just be 1 of a 100, join us. We offer a career that affords great challenges and job satisfaction.

If you show any interest in a position offered, please do not hesitate to visit our web-site for more information or fill in an on-line application form.
