Very simple email but man before offering me such a great deal, you think this person would already have some of this information?
You might be looking at this and thinking to yourself; “How stupid are people”; and I’ll tell you that that I really belive that they are playing on people’s greed or even a situation they are in. Let’s say your desperate and you are on the verge of bankcruptcy and have just received this email. It looks very tempting because you see a solution to your problems. Sending them all of the requested information will allow them to play on you. They are even hoping that you slip and give out more information to allow them to scam you.
