I got this email from a certain [email protected]:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
------
1Attachments (308.0 KB)

PLEASE READ THE ATTACHED LETTER AND CONFIRM RECEIPT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So aside form that one line of annoying capitalized letters, the email was blank. Curiosity got hold of me and I decided to check out the attachment for the heck of it (it was .jpeg so i no viruses, hopefully).

I didn't really read the entire attachment but essentially it was a proposal to "do this profitable business together". Note the elementary sentence structure the sender uses. It was quite obvious that this person did not have much of an education, certainly not the kind that would qualify him for a position to engage in this kind of business.

It claims to be a "100% risk free" business deal, which anyone who isn't delusional knows is impossible. And if they did indeed fetch my contact from "international brochure" (whatever that is), they should know that I am a college student who is still financially dependent on their parents and I wouldn't have the money for the investment anyway.

SO IN CONCLUSION: SPPPPAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!
