Beware of Email Scams like These!
December 18, 2006 by
I have included some random emails for clarification purposes. I want readers to spread the word. Please beware of this company and similar ones that you receive emails from, which you did not request or invite. Recently, I have been receiving emails from different companies that have the
same or similar requests from their "representatives". Please read on.
About two months ago I received an email from a company Benxi Steel Corporation. They were looking for US representatives to collect debts on their behalf. The collector would keep 10% of the bad debts they collected. I replied to this company and this is the response I received.
The email reads as follows:

I really believed I'd become immune to irritation when I receive email scams. Today, however, I received a money scam in my email that just really bugged me. It's in such poor taste, and as the best cons do, it tugs at the heart strings before moving in for the 1-2 punch.

In today's society, we are always looking for a perfect work environment. Many of us have come to the conclusion that working at home may benefit us most. It may be because you have younger children that require you to be at home or you may just prefer staying home.
