Mr Richard: Business Opportunity

My Good Friend, I know this email might come to you as a fraudulent surprise but I will advise you to not go through my offer for reasons of possible identity theft.

Mr Richard Business Opportunity Scam

Mr Richard is a fictitious character who is out to steal your identity and make some money on the side. If you can take a look at the “To:” line you can see that this email was sent to other “Undisclosed Recipients.” This should be an indicator that something is wrong.

Mr Richard Business Opportunity May Lead to Identity Theft

Surely this is a surprise! Amongst my Karim Malik Nima email scam and Illegal Online Pharmacy identity theft scares lie a bunch of similar business opportunities.

Mr Richard's Business Opportunity is to scam the dead

Granted this email is written fairly well, thus far, you must take into consideration specific dangers that can lead to identity theft:

1. The use of capitalized words in the middle of the sentence is a psychological tactic which is supposed to initiate a mental note in your brain to focus on that specific word.
2. Watch out for the use of words that have “legal,” “legitimate,” etc. in them. Be careful taking up endeavors that may cause you and your family financial harm without knowing full legal ramifications.
3. Is stealing from the dead an ethical practice?
4. Are you willing to serve time for financial fraud?
5. Is identity theft on your mind or you just want the money?

Mr Richard Business Opportunity The Final Take-Down

So if you want to do the deal let Mr. Richard know. If you have noticed the author of this scheme got a little bit sloppy with his writing towards the end of the email. Big mistakes are made and and they should be enough to tell you that something is very wrong here. A very direct approach to coherce you into siging away your financial well being is most likely the cause for the poor presentation.

A legal side note:

This offer is not legal or legitimate if the con artist wants to put you as the beneficiary of someone that is deceased.
