Real Estate Spam – First Edition

In This Article

You would not believe the amount of SPAM I get for everything from sex to drugs, and so on. I thought it might be interesting to share with you some of the wonderful targeted SPAM I get from people looking to SCAM others out of their money.

In today’s edition, we have an email from a man named Kalid Mohammed, who found my email through the US Chamber of Commerce (SURE)! He wants my contact information (why didn’t he just pull it from the Chamber of Commerce’s info?? Oh yeah – there is none!), and he promises to pay me for properties that he needs.

What do you think? Are we working with the real deal here? Is this just another SCAM looking to take advantage of me?

Anyone else get this one?
