Be careful! I strongly believe that this is one of the many scam offers that try to pay with a void cheque. Do not even bother to respond!

I have never received any scam e-mail, but it is always good to know that it could happen everytime. By now I think I know all of this by heart, and one could identify them easily just from reading this forum, although... they sound suspicious anyway.

The 4 signs of spam Nov 16, 2011

1. Poor English from someone who claims to be living in an English speaking country.

2. The "I live in...(country) but am presently staying in...(country)".

3. A free email address - though this is not a definite indication of spam.

4. Too much (unnecessary) information rendered.

Naive as I am, I even called him (+447031893870), but he did not really answered well to my questions. After that I started to suspect it was a scam and I found this topic.
