Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Online Shopping/Mystery Shopper Offers
Charming. This is a bogus mystery shopper job masked as a 'survey' job. They want you to send personal info to a free Live.com email account. They don't have a corporate email address, not that it would help.
Bottom line: this request...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Pyramid Schemes
We hate this type of spam and really wish it would end. This email has 3 whopping sentences, and there's a typo in every single one. Sad. The message is spam (no opt-out), and the email address of the sender (if the address is in fact real) is...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
There's nothing quite like a scammer who's computer illiterate. For example, the sender opens by calling herself Miss Glin Gwan, and ends the letter signing it as Dr. Tony Williams. Identity crisis? The duties involve payment processing and...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
In the professional world of recruiting, employers don't open with 'Dear Mr. / Mrs.' They don't use awkward English and they don't misuse capital letters and punctuation, which this offer is guilty of doing. The phone number makes it appear...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Bad grammar, claiming to be in Australia but no corporate email or web site. Sends email from one address and instructs recipients to reply to another. Definition of spam on top of being a money transfer/mule scam.

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Pyramid Schemes
This looks to us like a pyramid scheme, because they want you to buy a money-making system. We tried the URL (don't try that at home, kids) and it doesn't appear to work anymore. They did a couple things wrong:

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Here's one that never tells you who they are or where they're from (according to email headers, it's Czech Republic). They claim to have found your info on CareerBuilder. The position is called 'transfer manager' which is a fancy way of saying...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Awesome. Nothing like using the Big Guy to scam people (legitimate employers don't end their recruitment letters with "God Bless"). Leonard Griffin claims his company is one of the biggest and most successful but doesn't tell you...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
Now this one just isn't fooling anybody. They use a stupid salutation and the content of the email lacks proper punctuation and grammar. They ask your gender (discriminatory). They claim to be in Malaysia, but you can clearly see in the headers...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Money Transfer/Mule Offers
This company doesn't even have the good sense to tell you who they are. That's a pretty strong clue they're not real. It's an obvious money transfer/mule scam: typical responsibilities are to process payments and keep a "commission"...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Online Shopping/Mystery Shopper Offers
Okay, first of all, why is a textile company asking you to be a mystery shopper at all these stores? We suppose that at first glance they might be trying to convince you that their products are in these stores. So let's move on. The hiring...
