Email scams. We all get junk email. Unsolicited emails from vendors wanting to sell their products or services. However, lately I've been getting a series of emails of a different nature. These emails are the type that attempt to lure you into divulging your personal information and in some cases even financial information such as bank account numbers etc.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a folder where people can post their latest email scam mail they've received to let others know its the latest thing out there.
Here's my latest series I've been getting. Its an attempt to offer a quick and easy job using an applicant's bank account to make payments to foreign customers. Obviously its a scam just to get someone's account info in order to wipe it out.

Imagine being part of a stable organization with a sterling reputation - a place where the Sydney Car Centre is an integral part of all that we do. With our car centre personality, you'll not just succeed - you'll thrive. And, with our strong commitment to promoting from within, you'll definitely enjoy your rise to the top.

You will be expected to accept 2-3 transactions to your bank account every week, make certain calculations about every transaction (you will be precisely instructed about it), & transfer the funds to the suppliers by means of western Union/Money Gram less your fee & the charges of the Western Union/Money Gram. You will be continuously communicating with the manager from the head office, who will instruct you & give advice regarding every new payment.
The ideal candidate will be industrious, goal-oriented person, with the availability of a personal/business bank account suitable to be used for the company needs. Knowledge of English, computer literacy and sociability are appreciated.
The company guarantees to pay NET 10% fee out of the amount of every payment you dealt with and to provide you with the regular income & flexible schedule. All the related expenses you might have (like the Western Union/Money Gram chargers, related expenses on traveling) are covered by the company.
