Scam Letter

I am a member of a social website. I often received attractive offers and I considered these offers to be scam in action. I am just wondering why there are so many people fell prey to such scheme.

This message was sent to me on July 18, 2010 at 4:24:17 am. Before I could open the message, the sender has already deleted some pertinent information.

The format of the scam letters are quite similar, just the name of the sender is different. I will show you more letters when I have the time to dig out the data from my file.

Readers, next time when you received similar offer letter, you know it is a scam because there simply cannot be so much money of the same nature flowing thru the internet. The story is similar, probably copy from other scam letters.

I append below the message I received earlier:

Blogger: immediately and yield also spelled wrong. US 21 million dollars deal, very attractive. I tell you they are using big figure to entice you. It is just empty talk. They might be happy even if they can secure USD 2000 dollars or even USD 200 dollars. They used words to attract money, it is good return.
