Strange Emails
Since I put the Contact Us link on top I started to get strange emails. Not spam mind you, just emails that seem very out of place. Today I got one which I thought I would share with you as an example:
Dear Sir/Ma

Mark, I have an idea as extra money on the side. You can be a sports agent and have like a little sports management agency. You can post pictures of players and showcase their talents to the local clubs and you can get a percentage of their contracts. I think it’ll be a good idea for you.

Did some research on the team. The owners are planning close the team. Couldnt find anything on the player.

looks like a spam email, in which later they ask for personal details like home address and phone, delete and reply its from nigeria.

Any email to do with nigeria are usually scams to take your money some way some how. look it up.
if u reply ur interest, at some point you will have to send him money or give your account details, so next day youll find that he debted your intire balance.

If you really believe this is not a scam then…..
uh, never mind.

scams usually involve money transfers etc.. “dear sir i just came upon 4 billion dollars because my father was the prince of wonderland” this email was a guy thinking i have some connection to the kuwait soccer team because of my brazil vs kuwait post…

umm… no usually they talk to you about their problem and ask you for help or be a business partner with them. they tell you they dont want ur money. then after few emails back and forth, theyll ask you for one last favor. couple of rolex watches (or cash)to bribe someone in their government whose going to ruin the whole thing.
