Analysis
Now what I took notice of is the use of vzturl.com to hide the destination of the link! :insane:
That, and the gmail origin of the email are both unusual! Now we've had this kind of spam in the form of snailmail and in Job offer classifieds for years! (anyone remember, "fill envelopes from home" scams?) But I haven't seen it in email form before! :awww:.
And, if you think about it, it makes even less sense from an email perspective??? :confused:.
Why would someone pay
you to read there email? :confused:.
Of course, the savvy person can quickly see several possible ways this scam may work! First off is the clear indication that they expect a 'down payment' before you get started! This is the classic pyramid style chain letter trick! You receive a letter saying something like, "send me $10 and I'll tell you how to become a millionaire!". If you send the $10 dollars, they simply say, "go thou and do likewise!". :irked:.
The next possible level of the scam is the part about clicking links! Most people know by now that one should not click links that you receive in unsolicited emails. We are all double weary of urls that end in .ru as it's well known that such websites are often used to host malware! But what of these shortened urls? We actually have no way of knowing where they lead before we get there! :insane:.
So, in conclusion, if you don't know already! Delete any similar email you receive and don't click the link!

Only the desperate will join. :awww:
I swear I invented that years ago in a business class. Keep meaning to sign up for one of these things to see if they've done what I said and if they have the same "package" to send out that I designed.

I never trust such kind of issues even it is in real life. sometimes my friends offered me to join such kind of business but I always smile and say taht I am not interested in. 🙂
There was a tv ad several years ago. i don't recal what they were advertising but it showed a beginners computer class of middle aged people. The instructor tells them to double click on the icon and keeps repeating, "click, click" to them. :p.At one point, one of the students cd tray opens and he puts his cup of coffee on it as he it were a cup holder. :whistle:.Now I suspect that maybe that's the level of computer literacy that the spammers are going for p.

😆 man.. I'm glad i'm not that desperate.. :whistle: yet
well I think if i don't find a job ,I will try it cause i am so desperate and tired . 😦
Trust me on this. You're better off begging in the streets than answering this scam. :awww:.Yes, good jobs are hard to come by the world over. It's a shame because many talented people who could be contributing to the common good of society are left without work and without job fulfillment. :awww:.Meanwhile, people in decision making positions select the best jobs for their useless and unmotivated nieces and nephews. :irked:.It has been this way since the Romans and will possibly continue to be this way long after we're all dead and buried. :rolleyes:.And in the mean time, confidence tricksters like this will always be there to take advantage of the desperate and the needy. :cry:.
sorry M.S. i said that just because i feel so tired and bored of this situation , actually i live the same situation u have described
