Smile A******** request for survey work

We received an offer of paid survey work, locations across northern Europe from A********* A**********. We were too expensive (!), but perhaps others are cheaper? They pay Eur90-150 per hour (including pilot, plane and all costs). Here is the email if anyone is interested.

Safe flights, Sam.

Scam springs to mind. I can't find their website and it looks like the email was written by a Nigerian....and it has a gmail email address.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Probably illegal as well - Bargepole indeed, and a particularly long one.

...and we will just need your bank and credit card details, including the 3 digit number on the back, so that we can rape your bank account and bounce your credit card, sorry, reimburse you all of the expenses that you have spent whilst working for us illegally. If you don't do this we will not be able to reimburse you and our grandmother will get ill - and you wouldn't want that would you?

So come on...Email us at scamsareus @ nigeria . com

Scamsareus is a Robert Mugabe Company


I am with you Alan.
