One of my readers, I'll call her Susan" emailed me recently to ask a question regarding a strange email she received. I have changed the account number below to protect her identity. I've never seen an email scam like this so I'm throwing this out to the group to see what anyone thinks. Your comments are welcomed and appreciated and to "Susan" thanks for emailing me. I apologize it took this long to post your email. Anyway to those who are interested...Below is her email: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was doing a google search after coming across a fishy email I received, and I can across your blog. Although this email doesn't relate to a job offer, it still seems fake to me. But my biggest concern is that something worse than just a generic email scam has happened to me. Like I said, I recieved this email, but have NO IDEA as to what it could be for. The email doesn't list who the provider they are billing for IS, nor does it give ANY contact info. Is this just a standard scam?? or could someone have stolen my identity and started an account somewhere in my name?? Any thoughts you could send my way would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!
