How Do I add another NIC?

Anyone else get a NIC labs email like this? I think it's a scam...?

• I just got the following email, and it is definitely a scam. The writing style is all off.... the way that he specifies USD instead of putting in a dollar sign or saying dollars tipped me off, and then he specifies use of Western Union (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/view.php?pg=fw_western_union) and another money transfer option. Plus, what company would let their money go through a middle man when it could be sent straight to them? and if it were going to be a middle man, wouldn't they want it to be a legit money handling company and not just some random person? He also does not give an address, phone number, specific website URL, or specify which specific email address I should "contact" his company through. Plus, the job he mentions isn't mentioned anywhere on the website for the company he claims to represent. They are apparently abusing access to websites like Monster with fraudulant type of activity. I'd like to add, the company he cites seems legit, but whoever wrote the email does not seem to actually be one of their employees. Someone does exist with this name, but I highly doubt that it was actually written by anyone whose real name is such. Scammers often cite real names/companies to seem legit and "gain trust". The email is as follows, although I removed my name and replaced it with underscores. [email protected] to me Good day ________________, I am Denis Efremov, a HR chief at NIC Labs Limited.

• Answer:

  Thanks for posting up the information on that scammer. Making a scammer's scam googlable on every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find is a great way to slow that scammer down when a suspicious potential victim goes looking for information, finds your post containing the name the scammer is using, his email address, phone number and the emails themselves and then that potential victim does not become a scam victim because you took the time "get the word out". Thanks!! Wasting a scammer's time legally and safely is called "scambaiting". If you google that word, you will find sites where you can read scambaits, post up the emails and email addresses of scammers, post up a fake website, read up on how to alert a hosting company that they are hosting a fake website, ask questions and learn all about the hobby of scambaiting.
