Do people even read email from people they don't know?
If it isn't a friend, family member, or from a company you have given your email to = scam/phish. |

Would you apply the same logic to mail in your physical mailbox? Curiosity always gets the best of me and I always read emails from people I don't know. I got a good one yesterday from the head of Western Union. They want to give me over 500,000 dollars!!! |

| I didn't get any good offers for cash, but I've won a lot of African lotteries that I never entered and was told I can meet partners on a new social networking site called f###book! |

What would their next move be after you send them your resume? Please send us money? We need your bank account information and then the next message "Oh, yes. I forgot. We need your pin number. We want to send you cash for your plane ticket and we need your pin number and... yeah, that's it. Pin number and... hmm, we need to you to put..."
I dunno. |
