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.
