It always pays to be suspicious when
"business" emails do not have a proper letterhead, are not directed
to
you specifically, any referenced addresses are
generic such as from yahoo, gmail, hotmail or gmx accounts, and there
is no
reference to
a name or telephone number of the person who sent the letter ..

The following email is very dubious ..
It comes from a yahoo email site and asks you to return email to a
gmail site ..
The name of the person supposedly sending the email has nothing to do
with the email address or the name of the person writing the letter ..
The generic letter proper does not include any information as to whom
it is directed to ..
There is no
mention of what the position is .. This should be
made
illegal to stop this type of scam email ..
Please be careful and
report to your nearest scamwatch site ..

This email is another nuisance scam ..
The twits even listed the address to be billed as a US address and gave
it an Australian telephone zone ..
If you check your expiry date on your
domain you will find you may still have many more months before it is
up for renewal ..
They are
asking much more than it would normally cost you as well (in this case
up to almost 7 times as much) ..
They may just be trying to take control of your domain name ..
They are getting more persistent and trying to make the notice larger
and seem more important ..
Ignore it ..
Be careful what you click on ..
This goes back to another gemstone site .. Huh ??

This email is trouble ..
It seems so considerate ..
It even seems to have a proper letterhead (though placed at the bottom
of the message) ..
It seems to be from a group that uses the first part of their website
address to try other scams,
for example : [asiacenter]-nic.org ..
They also seems they have been around for at least 2 years and are
becoming more professional in their presentation ..
It is suggested by some watchdogs that they may be trying to take your
domain names from you ..
Be very wary of these types of offers of
help ..

(If you are NOT CEO,please forward
this to your CEO, because this is urgent.Thanks.)
Dear CEO,
We are the department of
registration service in China. we have something which needs to confirm
with you. We formally received an application on August
2th, 2011. One company called "Askeo Asia Trading Co.,Ltd" is applying
to register " ########" as Brand name and domain names as below:
########.asia
########.cn
########.com.cn
########.com.hk
########.com.tw
########.hk
########.net.cn
########.tw
After our initial checking, we
found the Brand name and domain names being applied are as same as your
company! So we need confirmation with your company. If the
aforementioned company is your business partner or your subsidiary,
please DO NOT reply us, we will approve the application automatically.
If you don't have any relationship with this company, please contact us
within 5 workdays. If over the deadline, we will approve the
application submitted by "Askeo Asia
Trading Co.,Ltd" unconditionally.
Best Regards,

This email could get you into a lot of
trouble ..
They are not affiliated with seek.com.au
and your resume should not have been available to them from that site ..
If you check the originating address, you
will find it comes from a generic address usually in the form of a
yahoo, hotmail or gmail account ..
There is no letterhead ..
It is not grammatical in its opening line and the monetary symbol is in
the wrong place ..
This usually indicates it is written overseas in a country that is not
in continuous contact with Australia ..
The term "Funds Transfer Manager" should ring alarm bells ..
It sounds like you may get involved in a scam yourself ..
It may pay to forward these emails to
seek.com.au to report this apparent
breach of confidentiality ..
Be very wary of these types of offers ..
The corporation "VINCENT
YOUNG TREND" is searching staff.
We got your CV from the site www.seek.com.au and we will be glad to
work together with you.
The position is Funds Transfer Manager.
Our manager typically gets about 1300$ per week.
It depends on completed work.
You do not have to have any skills and experience to work in our firm.
Most vital thing for us is your desire to work!
There are just two requirements - you have to be online from your PC as
long as possible and of course your desire to work with us.
Feel free to contact us via email.

This email is basically stupid ..
If you check their webpages which the email is supposed to have
originated from (which seem to change with the seasons), they nearly
always seems to be under construction, and this is strange as the offer
has been pushed since at least 2009 ..
As can be seen at this link (and many others), it is a total scam ..

The originating address for this email was from a Chinese site that

What are they doing getting involved in this scam ?
Be careful what you click on as most of the links take you to their

Just laugh it off and be thankful you did not fall into this ridiculous

This email is a scam that can lose you your
domain name .. Be careful ..
It came from this address : domai763b@hotmail.com
This immediately
warns you that it should be ignored as it is a freebie email address
that has no affiliations with a legitimate company .. AND it has no
business name on the heading ..
It also gives a false expiry date on the domain so it would take your
money long before (in this case 2 months before) your true expiry date
on your domain would warn you of the ending of your account ..
The moral here is to check any email that comes from an unknown source
and that is trying to scare you into registering or paying for
something you are already covered for ..
23-11-2010
This email is a scam ..
In fact, it doesn't make any sense as to why they would continue with
this scam as we have been alerted about it since from at least 2009,
and the World Business Guide site does not exist ..
Maybe they are nuts ..??

This email is definitely a scam
..
The United States Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) does NOT send out emails unless they are just
flyers ..
It certainly does not discuss
personal information as stated, over the internet ..
You will also notice it tries to
redirect you to a sub-branch R21. This takes you to another site
altogether ..
Some of the telephone numbers they supply (after the area code) begin
with 555 ..
Please be careful ..
