Good one, Thomas. It's tempting to expand on this with more examples of scammers but "deleting it and going on with your day" sounds good to me. On the other hand, it is useful to know that just one of the characteristics of such communications is the "something's wrong with this picture", ie.: 1.) If someone read my ad, how can he/she say it doesn't work, you read it didn't you? 2.) Obvious spelling and grammatical errors, ie. "informations" irks me to no end. 3.) When you do a "source" check, this shows Russia, France or some far flung places but some reference may have been made to some local locale. 4.) Saturation of references to ie. "God bless your family" apologizing for the email - on and on these go. 5.) The use of the word, "immediately". Nobody tells me to hurry up because some opportunity will fade into the sunset. That's exactly why I wait for the right time. Who needs more stuff that is here today - gone tomorrow.
