          I regularly get ones to do with a new message on LinkedIn(never click on direct link)

          Or it's a voicemail that comes via Whatsapp(yes I have it but NEVER use it).

            An email titled ‘Earn Unlimited Dollars Today’ from Pamela Cambell pertness@selamith.com
            So the scammer has a sense of humour. “Selamith” can be read as “Sell a Myth”
            It is with great pleasure that we inform you of this amazing opportunity with one of the best companies in the world
            Salary: $90,000
            Hours: You Decide.
            Only 2 spots remain.
            It’s just a phishing scam of course. They want me to click the ACCEPT button which then goes to a website asking for confidential information so they can process my application.
            As you expect, there is no job, just a ridiculously improbable message, but unfortunately some people will reply believing this to be their opportunity.
            An unknown unspecified company that doesn’t even know your name offers you a job on $90,000 for hours that you decide. Hhmm very likely. NOT.

                Send $157 and get $7.4 million in return. Would be a great bargain if it were true.

                Didn't know the FBI had a branch devoted to looking after overseas lottery winners.
                Sadly they cannot afford FBI email addresses and have to use gmail instead.

                      A message supposedly from Lloyds Bank but actually from noreply @omsk.su

                      The domain suffix "su" indicates the former USSR - didn't know Lloyds bank had moved that far.

                      The subject is "New banking authentication System"
                      The email goes on about how I am required to confirm my personal details and won't be able to access my online banking until I do.

                      Please click this link

                      As usual with phishing emails there's no contact details, no physical address, they called me "Dear Valued Customer" instead of using my name and so on.

                      A poor quality attempt at phishing to get my personal details.

                        Mystery Shopper Phishing Scam
                        The mystery shopper scam has been popular for some months with barrages of emails promising you can be a mystery shopper - just go into your high street shops and write a review and you will be very well paid for just a few hours per week.

                        None of this is true of course - the very few companies that actually do employ mystery shoppers pay peanuts - because they know there is an army of people desperate for that work.
                        But the latest version of the phishing message is very simplified.

                        Hello,

                        we have a customer service survey assignment for you in your location. We will pay you $300 per assignment which would come in the form of a check along with comprehensive details in regards to the assignment.

                        The job entails an evaluation visit to a high street store.
                        Send information below to get started.

                        Full name, address, mobile phone number, gender, age. email address.

                        Thanks for your participation

                            JP Morgan Chase Bank in New York want to pay me $2,000,000 - how kind of them. Just what I wanted.

                            Apparently, the British Petroleum Company and the UK Finance Ministry have authorised payment to me.
                            The sender says that I have messed about with this money by a miscreant from Africa and promises that the delays end today.

                            I just need to obtain a non-resident clearance form and payment will be made within 6 hours.

                            I must forward my details:-
                            name, address, phone number, occupation, gender, age, nationality and country of residence.

                            Hhmm. This is obviously a very silly story with little effort to hide that the writer is a scammer.
                            The scammer doesn't even know my name - not so good at her job.
                            The email senders address is JP Morgan Chase Bank of USA but is actually jp.morganbak so she can't spell bank.

                            The person I have to send details to has a Yahoo address - doesn't sound like a bank employee to me.
                            And I have never dealt with African scammers so their tactic of trying to reassure me they are different to people who have tried to scam me is a long shot.

                            Just another stupid phishing email.

                              The Global Investment Development Authority in Paris is expanding its portfolio globally and wants to invest in my business or project or whatever I wish to invest in.

                              Shame they don't actually who I am or what business i'm in but I'm sure that's a minor point.

                              After all, if they have tons of cash to give away - then who am I to say NO.

                              I just have to send my details to Roberts Colins of GIDA and his email is robertscolins [MENTION=14779]Mai[/MENTION]l.com.tr

                              Shame that GIDA cannot afford their own email domain and have to use a generic one instead and cannot afford a Marketing Email system so they have to use 163.com instead to send out the invites.

                              Obviously they give away all of their money and forget to keep some for themselves.

                              On second thoughts - maybe I won't send them my details.

                                An email from BMW Sales Lottery tells me I'm a winner

                                Yippee! I've won a new BMW series 7 car and a check for $500,000.

                                This scammer wants to cover all bases - the big car plus a load of cash in case the recipient isn't into cars.

                                The email tells me that this BMW lottery is approved by the British Gaming Board so no chance of anything underhand going on - such as a TOTAL SCAM

                                To get my car full of cash I just have to send in my details - name, address, nationality, age, phone number, email address etc. and the magic pin number quoted in the email: BMW:2551256780921562315/67 to albertson.bmwclaims1472 @ gmail.com

                                I don't think I'll bother.
