You know the thing, "Dear Respected Sir. I am the Minister for Trade of
Nigeria, and I wish to embezzle a BILLION dollars AMERICAN..."
Money Laundering is a more applicable term. I hav seen job offers that do
not spell out how much I stand to get. The only unifying characteristic of
fraud in that vein is that it asks for more personal information to open
phone channels, to begin with, plus it never orijinates from a likely
domain. My ISP either drops e-mail from IP#s that mask their domain name or
fills that information in. The crazy thing is that you could open a phone
channel with me from looking at my website, so if someone asks for it in
e-mail, then I know that the scammer does not know a thing about me. I get
more spam on Thursday, when scammers can hope to keep their account open
until Monday. I identify fraud with [phish] -- same category as notes from
banks that are not signed or that I do not deal with.
