Another Monster Version of the Foreign Payment Officer Scam
So here is a scam email that I received the yesterday. It looks very much like Monster Version of the Foreign Payment Officer Scam, but they are some subtle differences. The biggest one is the description of how you will earn the salary is missing from this message. Maybe in an attempt to throw off spam filters or just to make the message look more legitimate.
There are a couple of things that don't sit right with the message:
1) The email address that you are supposed to contact does not match the sender's domain.
2) Secondly the company is based in the Ukraine but the sending email domain is listed as an internet provider for the UK.
3) You can't see it in this text version, but the image that is attached to this message is for "Masters DB Software Development Company", which is the company that supposedly sent the Monster Version of the Foreign Payment Officer Scam email.
4) Lastly, whoever wrote this message misspelled Ukraine.
Here is the full text of the email I received:
The misspelled words are highlighted in yellow and red.
From: <united_logic_service_company@swift11.swiftinter.net>
To: <another email address>
