sounds legit

Oh lord, I love the internet. Did you ever get a letter about a Nigerian prince desperate to give you his inheritance, only you had to send him a wire with money so he would be able to, I don’t know, liberate his funds from…yeah, it gets kind of foggy there. Anyway. That shit is still going on! Good old scammers just never give up. And now they’re preying on anyone with a resume online, apparently.

I was just treated to this gem, copied word for word from the email I received, including the total lack of signature. I have to wonder if anyone really buys this. There are several key words that worry me. Let’s take a look:

Wouldn’t you be enthusiastic about? An easy job with international relations built in! I need no skills! Permanent income with an unspecified frequency! And what in the blue hells is social insurance?! Luckily, all I have to do is open a personal account with any local bank (convenient!!) to start making transactions, and before you know it I’ll be able to get my first money!

SOUNDS LEGIT!

I’m freaking dying over here.
