Bank mail scam, watchout - dont enter anything on the form !

[Mike]

A variant of a scam from someone in Australia is now operating out
of Malaysia, friend just got this link:-

http://www.it-electronics.org/careers.htm

Whatever you do *dont* enter any details, its offering a commission on
accepting cheques for international payment. This is a classic and well
known scam.

The site where the domain is registered has been notified.

Caution as its targetting Australia now, especially self employed people
who are looking for extra doh, dont be sucked in.

So, what is new?

Rather more trouble than normal went into this, targetted a friend who
hasnt got an email address on the net for public view either.

Those scams are always around. Getting at least few a week

There are now two variants of that one, can more easily pull in a 20 to 30yr
old who moonlights with a fair amount of ease.

And, imho, if people are supid enough to fail for one, then they deserved
it. Stupidity is punishable.

You've obviously never had kids. Or understand the transition from childhood
to adolscence or then on to adulthood in that experiences can be gained at
any time of life and are not uniform either.

Is it stupid to explore, its probably far more stupid to subtly criticise
someone for bringing it to our attention, what is the punishment for that ?

Same as falling for "nigerian letter" or similar.

not at all - its targetted far better and has a similitude of a web page,
havent yet seen any nigerian scam that even comes close.

Mike, don't waste your time. There's plenty of dolts who'll call any number
of victims "stupid".
