I received it on gmail so I am asking.
hmm i received such kind of emails many times but i ignored..... because this kind of email is always in spam folder.... so i guess this is scam
Have you guys never seen a phishing email before? We get them for all sorts of sites, local or not. Some are pretty clever too.
From the Brazilian resource. Thats from SECRELNET INFORMATICA LTDA. The person: Francisco Araujo LimaShhh
Update your email security, these kind of emails go straight to my spam folder, I don't even have the displeasure of reading them. Someone needs to invent some kind of software which tracks down the senders of these types of emails so we can find them, name them, shame them, and arrest them for trying to scam people out of their hard earned cash.
I'm thinking either just for the hell of it or they want to scam you out of your money. I see these emails all the time and every single time, they go into the Junk Mail folder.
