Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Shipping/Re-shipping Offers
Let's see...the message originates from Mexico. The Web link points to a domain owned by someone in Geneva, Switzerland. The job would have sounded real if they hadn't started by telling you that you'd be spending someone else's money. If you...

One of our faithful PhishBucket visitors reported a bogus job offer found on Craigslist. Upon responding to it, the job seeker got an email message that was essentially agreeing to hire her on the spot. No interview, no "Hi, how are...

Big spam-a-roonie right here. The message was sent to PhishBucket founder Tabatha Marshall. But look in the headers at the To line - not her!
This is a reshipping offer. Don't confuse it with a real job. This isn't one of those....

Some scammers are lazy. They didn't mention a company name except the little bit you can get out of the reply-to email address. They didn't say where they found your profile; in fact, they only said that so the recipient wouldn't feel like...

The essence of the scam should speak for itself. The sender, purported to be from a shipping company in Nigeria, is claiming that they have a package was supposed to be sent to you, and that the package is worth $2.5 MILLION dollars. In order...

Why, we're just so happy to catch your attention too, you scammer, you!

Lovely. Look at how the lines of this message are arranged. This person hasn't got the slightest clue how to structure a paragraph. The grammar is horrid, and the company name is generic enough to come across as completely bogus.

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Shipping/Re-shipping Offers
This chain of messages seems to be self-explanatory, but let us just remind you that anyone who asks you to perform duties like these is asking you to break the law. The goods are usually bought with stolen funds, and once you're implicated,...

Suspicious/Fraudulent Offers/Shipping/Re-shipping Offers
Ah, a lovely re-shipping scheme. Typical: a foreigner, supposedly in the UK, and who claims to own an art gallery, needs you to receive his packages of electronics, clothing and other goods and to do his shopping.
So this is kind of like...

Comment from person reporting offer: *ORIGINAL JOB LISTING (on craigslist) - Seems innocuous enough, not written very well but the poster is perhaps a non-native English speaker...*

Here's an awesome one received by Tabatha Marshall, founder and CEO of PhishBucket.org. The beauty of this one is that it doesn't even matter where it was sent from: it can be legally categorized spam because Alice Bushman introduces herself as...

From Barak Dillinger? REALLY? No headers were reported, so we couldn't see where the email originated from, but who needs 'em? Look at that grammar! Read this puppy out loud!
