Identifying Genuine Business
I received an email with the title ‘Question About Your Service’ and then the lady proceeded to tell me all about her services and how she would like me to meet one of her team to discuss my interest in their services. All seemed above board but when I got to the bottom of the email she signed off with her name and a hotmail address.
I emailed her back with the following:
Is there a reason why you’re using a hotmail address and not a domain address? Your signature block does not have a phone number, website or anything at all that makes me think you are a genuine business.
Sorry but that’s how it seems - too many scammers and spammers around these days.
With respect to the list below, you haven’t even indicated what country you are in so even if I were interested in any of these chances are I’m not even in the same country as you.
Seriously, I would think if she’s going to offer savings for healthcare and worker’s compensation, shipping rates, office equipment and travel expenses, etc that she would at least have a business name, domain name for a website (or at least for her email) and some other form of contact information such as a phone number, fax number, etc. What do you think?

The email above was received over a week ago - to date she’s not answered my query.
