scam

iron-wife received this email today along with two attachments. The
just of it was that the sender is from a CCTV program director. He
wants to have 100 entrepreneurs to call him, if interested, to do an
interview. To tell the TV show audience how to be successful. Right.
As soon as I saw the Sender email address I immediately sensed it as
scam. 1) CCTV will never send emails out like this; it has its own
"approved" list and most likely in Beijing. 2) Banana.118. Right,
what a name. 3) 163.com. Not a "cctv.com.cn". Right... Scam
definitely.

But to confirm it, I did a quick search of the person and the mobile
number listed at the bottom of the email. No such person. And the
phone number search came up as a scam warning in baidu.com, posted two
weeks ago. So there.

Wonder what kind of trojan horse virus lied in wait in those two
attachments. Powerpoint and Word doc. Ummm.... Thank god for Mac
and smart iron-wife not opening them to see what they are.
