    Ramya Writes: Sure buddy.

  2. Prateek |

    I usually delete such posts without even bothering to read whats inside.

    Ramya Writes: I usually do the same thing Pratheek, but this one is a clever one. They knew I was in Bixee and approached me from there.

  3. sachin |

    hey its not on to bixee but also to sanj n all… does anyone have reviewed for this mail…. or its all assumptions…

    Ramya Writes: I am serious. They are a scam operating from Nigeria. Well there are all possibilities they would have seen my resume on Bixee. In addition to apprach me from Bixee more believable and to say that they saw me in Bixee makes the story more promising.

    When googled, I found they are from Nigeria. Anyway having known they are a scam, just stay away. Why do you want to investigate more and more on it.

    I was trying to know that what is the main aim towards such types of scam as they are not asking from us any official document then just a mail from us will help them in what respect..

    Ramya Writes:
    It could be some idea of the spam filter industry’s job. To increase the sales of spam filters in huge companies.
