Notice the NON-STANDARD (funny) characters in the email?
They do that so people have a hard time adding those words to spam filters.
Most people will type the normal characters, which will not match what they used.
Then the next time they will change a character or three and your spam filter will not catch it because the words no longer match what you put in the filter.
They also use double charracters in a woord.


Yes, i saw the extra characters right away. It’s one of the things that gave it away.

I occasionally called them and tell them that my company is seeking people to do honest work for decent money. I asked them how much they make scamming people.
