How unusual – a Nigerian advance fee fraud. Nigerian? It says the receiver is in Nigeria. Advance fee? It asks you to send $160. If you send the money, you will lose it. You aren’t expecting a trunk stuffed full of money are you? It’s all a scam. Just delete the email.

Dr or is it Prof Al Wady-ramahi’s stroke might not have been as “deadly” as his reply, but it seems to have left him confused. Is he a Dr or is he a Prof??
Who cares. He’s a scammer. The only thing “deadly” about this email is the effect it will have on your bank balance if you fall for his scam. He will start asking you for money.
Ignore him and delete the email.

This was sent to me by a reader – who tells me it comes with an attachment that her malware filter will not let her open.
I hope you can see that this is not a genuine “mystery shopping” job. For a start, the email address that this was sent from is apparently unrelated to the email address you are told to reply to.
Delete the email, don’t reply and don’t open the attachment which probably contains [Continue reading We have a mystery shopping assignment.]
