I have received so many overt scam e-mails since I joined in early Q1 this year, that they are becoming more entertainment than nuisance. 

For the small percentage that isn't already blocked by the time I read it, I just have to roll my eyes. Either the scammers are amateurs, or there are enough people that are paralyzingly stupid enough to fall for their nonsense. 

Hello, I am looking for someone to get a mobile phone at home. This mobile phone will be our proxy 4G in SG. You will just have to have the phone at home and keep it on charge and insert a SIM card in it. We will pay the internet monthly subscription as well. Are you interested regarding this offer ?"

Yeahhh riiiiight....you want me to sign up for a phone service/SIM card that you can use without limit and without any accountability regarding who is being contacted, for what purpose and for how long, then promise to "pay the monthly subscription cost" (and what about the call and messaging charges?) --- another nonsense contact screaming "SCAM" in my ear with a megaphone. 🙂 Go away...I can't genuinely speak my mind here, or I might get banned LOL.

Yet another underhanded request?
