They continue to fine-tune this scam bit by bit. This is the first time I've seen them refer to the MSPA. Clever.

I get more of these in my email accounts that are not related to MSing, thn my MS email. I thing just using the email for anything gets you on a list.
My experience is opposite of Shelly's. All of mine have been related to mystery shopping.

I use google's gmail and get less then 5 total spam messages a week. The only thing I've notice in last few weeks is legitimate msc messages are getting red flagged with a stern warning in bright red by google at the top: "Messages like this have been known to be used to steal people's money. Do not respond unless you know the person or requested to receive the email." What services are you using?

Ahh. This morning I get an email from Tanneca Milling with a subject of Mystery Shopping. When you open it the body says "Yes I would like this job."

Again, I say, they must sell their lists to one another. Third stupid message this week!
Another one!

That is not your real e-mail address in the post, is it?

Thank you, Lisa - I removed my email address.

I was just sooo excited to be given that marvelous offer from Evaluators MS.
It is in your original post as well. Maybe that's why your getting all the special offers and we aren't, LOL!

Spam filters are the bane of a scheduler's existence. Besides our emails getting plopped into spam folders, they are also routinely blocked completely. Comcast and AOL are the notorious for doing this-even Clientsmart system emails have trouble getting through sometimes.

I think someone posted one from stanford.edu previously. Scam. You can forward it to abuse@stanford.edu so they know someone is sending spammy scams from their servers.
