In today's batch of e-mail at home I got a mail from an alledged company with a double-barreled name. Honda-Something-or-other.
Did I want a job, loadsa money? one and a half hours a week, all I need is a phone, computer and a bank account to help them move money from dealerships etc in South America, Eastern Europe, in fact all the usual suspects. There was a rash of these about three or four years back, usually from Nigeria and involvolg helping to get a "Oil rich tribal Chief's" money out of the country. I am sure money moved through accounts but not quite in the manner the victims expected.
It seems that these may now be being tailored to peoples known interests etc. I am sure no-one on this board would be dim enough to fall for it but just in case.
Thanks.
I just got one that was supposedly from the FBI suggesting I had been visiting illegal websites. It urged me to fill out a questionaire and had a legit FBI phone number and address on it.
I couldn't get through on the phone number so I called the local FBI office. They said it is BS and that they had gotten lot of calls. She suggested I ignore it and delete it or forward it to the local office. I forwarded it to the local office.
Scary as hell!
Update.
I looked up this scam on www.snopes.com and the attachment to the fake FBI e-mail is really the Sober K virus.
Watch your 6!
