Scam Emails to Watch Out for and Some hilarious ones!

When I get bored I open up my spam email just to see the stupidity of some of the scam emails I get and some I’ve even copied just to make people aware of them since not a lot of people know they are scams at times like when I was job searching back before I got my current job I got a lot of those. Companies use legit ways like Webex and I think Teams can be one but I’ve ran into multiple ones where I tell them info only to realize it was another scam. They wanted to send me a check versus give me the equipment which is a red flag.
This is how it works:
They post a job on Linkedin, Indeed, Ziprecruiter or other legit ones. Then once you apply it seems quicker. Look up the company too they could be trying to use a real company and it be fake!
Take these for example:

Dumbass replied not even aware I was a former employee there and they would never use Signal a known scammer hangout.
Thank you for your message.
Yes, you are absolutely right to raise questions, and I appreciate your perspective. However, I would like to clarify that we have recently noticed a growing preference among many individuals for Signal Private Messenger due to its end-to-end encryption and enhanced privacy standards.

Also they didn’t do it through the official company email but a gmail if it was legit it would use the company email not a fucking gmail. Some red flags are shit spelling, whatsapp use, too good to be true, asking for your banking info. Sending you a check for equipment. Also for these I never applied for them at all.
Those aren’t all either I’ve got some more wild emails too like this one:
I know you may find this message very surprising. However, it’s just that
My urgent need for a foreign partner. I would like to know whether
this suggestion would be helpful for your acceptance. I need your Sincere help
Realizing my humanitarian project.
Unfortunately, I am terminally ill and about to die. I want you to spend money
My inheritance is three million one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars
($3,150,000.00) to charity in your country upon receipt
money. It would be a pleasure to finish this project with you
before I die.
More information will be provided to you when you respond to my suggestion.
Your positive response will be appreciated.

I understand that my connection with you may appear to you as a surprise as we have never met or seen each other. But I will take time in this email to explain briefly to help us with getting to know each other more through this email which I find better for this confidential discussion.

I am donating the sum of ( $3.9 Million dollars ) that I have in my claim deposited by my late wealthy husband, currently the fund is still in the bank. I took this decision because of my present health condition now, since a year I have been in several health issues. Last few months the Bank has issued a notice through my late husband’s lawyer demanding that I come in claim of the deposited fund or renew the agreement on the Fixed deposit since the valid agreement expired more than 3 Years ago.
The most predicament I am facing is my health complications and My doctor said that I will not be able to last long due to the leukemia and kidney failure which I am presently battling with now, Firstly it started with 1 kidney damage but now it have affected the second kidney because of my failure for Kidney transplant at earlier stage, resulting to the damage of the 2 at a time. It remains a life threatening part, I only rely on dialysis 3 times a week to survive. My condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I will not live any longer according to the doctor’s report unless a medical miracle happens.
I want to make it clear that I am making this funding to you with full trust and purposes for Paying of school fees for less privileged children, Helping widows / disadvantaged and less privileged people and Homeless around your reach. In all areas of good deeds and Humanitarian activities, The Humanitarian project will be named “ DIVINE AIDE FROM GOD “ I know the sufferings of the needy and mostly orphans because I was also an orphan who grew up at a motherless home and was able to grow up and study with the help of the orphanage care until I was grown to be catering for myself.
I don’t want to force you into this project and I seek for your full sincerity and trust, Please if you assure that you can be trusted with this “ DIVINE AIDE FROM GOD ‘’ Humanitarian project, you are requested to send your full information which I am going to list below, I will be needing these information and by doing so you are able to reassure me of your sincerity because as you know that I am doing this with faith that you will not disappoint me, Also your informations are needed to enable me process every necessary documents on your name as one of my appointed partner. Making the legal introduction of you to the bank to enable the bank transfer the fund to you for this charity project.
Telephone Number: Nope
Resident Address:: definitely not giving them it
Occupation: or this lol
Copy of your ID: why would you need that??
2 or more photos of you : Nah
Thank you as you respect to send those above information i requested, I know that the part I am donating to you may not be enough to reach out to everyone in need around you but i do believe that with the length it can go in changing and touching lives, It is for the glory of God and a waking for humanity on earth, As you may wish to know, I do not want you to be left out of this, I will be compensating you and your collaborative team that will assist you with this charity exercise to keep 20% out of the total fund to yourself and the charity team that will help in easing the project activity, About 10 team of good volunteer team and humanitarian lovers, I am suggesting though, Hope it is serves as a great idea !
I attached 2 of my recent photos taken with my phone while I am still admitted here in the hospital and currently receiving treatment. I have also attached 2 of my previous photos I took years back when I was healthy before this illness struck me, It will also help in letting you understand my situations, I hope it helps you to know me better and I am also expecting to hear from you soon and know more about you too.
Awaiting your immediate response.
My regards, Blessings and love of God,
So many red flags like never give people your personal info! Hell, I’ve even had idiots say they infected my PC with viruses or were tracking me. They said they were monitoring me and recording me doing personal stuff like a creep and threatening to send it to my friends and family if I don’t pay them money. Like these scammers are the worst honestly. They wouldn’t be able to do shit it is all bs!
I hope you enjoyed this on ways to spot scam emails especially job offer ones.
