"Project Proposal" new scam

Post by Cathulhu »

Got this little gem in my hotmail account recently: from an "Anne Shamy" (fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, Anne Shamy!)

Contact Mrs.Anna Cane via email: #######@rogers.com for $2,142,728.00 dollars unfinished project +601 area code number.

The contractor is here tomorrow, at last the greenhouse will be finished, and I don't have time to bait the scammer. Anyone here who wants the email or phone, pm me.

If I get any of those, they are going straight to my spam folder. Perhaps you need to adjust your spam filter settings.... or perhaps, you normally want to bait the spammers.... :brickwall:
