Excellent article by Mr. Srinivasan and quite a handy one, I have been receiving these type of mails about lottery and job offers. Although it`s known nothing comes free but now I am dobly sure to neglect and delete those mails at once.
During the nineties, I use to receive letters, and in the recent times, emails. I too heard of several people who were vicitims of such scams. Wisdom prevailed and I ignored all such letters and emails. I would like to congratulate Mr.Sreenivasan on this well narrated article
I have received similar messages from two of my old friends and because of my awareness of similar frauds from way back in the nineties, I checked with a few friends and managed to escape being cheated!
It is nice we go aggressively and make an awareness campaign on similar scams.
SREENIVASN JI, I AM THANKFUL TO U ,U GAVE ME THIS IMPORTANT SUGGESTION AND ALERT US .I AM GETTING THIS TYE OF MESSAGES FOR A LOMG TIME .BUT I HAVE NOT REPLIED
Hi. The message by Mr.T P Sreenivasan is very much allarming. Other than wining lottery mails in the names of microsoft, burkley\'s bank, lotto, etc. claiming \"yr e-mail attached to a specific no. have won ***million $ or Pounds\" now I think this nasty peoples have started hacking various national/international job portals thereby sending mails to jobs available in Nigeria in Rigs, Oil Fields, etc. I don\'t know to what extent they are reliable. But recently at least dozons I have found in my inbox. Before proceeding further I will request all job seekers to carefully deal with. All The Best...M. V. Sawant, Goa.
