RE: Scam originating From RCU
I have had two emails , much like the one you have had, the first i thought Great easy money, but did not reply ,as i was a llittle puzzled where and how someone (miriam ?) from south Africa had got my email. 2 weeks later i got another from another person , then it clicked, Spoof/spam whatever? just junk them, dont click on any links or reply, and if you have the right programme you can bounce the email back as if your email address does not exsist and you should not get any more from the scammers. i got a better offer of 30%

RE: Scam originating From RCU
It's called phishing. They tell you that they will deposit the money, you give them your account info, then they take all the money from your bank account. Pretty clever, since people actually fall for it. DON"T EVER GIVE OUT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT INFO!!!! Especially someone overseas that you've never heard of!!!!!!!??????????? Hope you catch them.....but like someone said above, you will never be able to track thier email address. It is probably a group of people working together.

RE: Scam originating From RCU
The only way anyone can get your email from RCUniverse is if you post it in an ad or discussion forum. Posting your email publicly not only opens you up to receive scam emails such as this, but also to spam bots which roam the internet harvesting email addresses for their lists.
