There is a scam going around contacting web developers to develop websites, which I just experienced first hand, but did not lose on money or services. The initial email went as follows.
Morning,I took it as a legit request, as images and website copy was sent. However, when I received the following response after a few weeks, I began doing research and discovered other web developers are reporting the same contact.
How are you doing and am Susan Jordan.I need a competent and and creative web designer so get back to me if you are available to take job now,awaits your mail soonest.
Regards.
How are you doing today and the check has been mail out,there is was a mistake with the amount on the check,you will be getting the check by weekend or early next week.Its is a check of $3800 like i told you before so when you get it just deposit it and when your account has been credited i will give you a details where you will return the difference to,awaits your mail.Just putting out a warning to my fellow developers. In checking out the email header, the source address was [email protected] but was reporting it sent as [email protected]. Below is the header information.
Regards.
