Read this scam letter which I received on Thursday.

Summarise who this letter is from, who it is to, and what it is about.
This letter is from Mrs Emily Park.
This letter was sent to Miss Campbell (A receiver of the scam).
This letter is about people being tricked into giving people money for larger amounts of money.

What are 2 reasons you know that this letter is a scam.

This person gave her US$1,300,000.

They gave away all of their details including E-mails and phone numbers.


Give 3 pieces of evidence (excerpts of sentences) that prove that this letter is a scam.

This letter has been poorly translated from another language into english."please take it very serious." Another example"She said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake that I should fly down to Nigeria"

Describe a scam or prank you have heard about or been subject to.

Every now and then my family gets a phone call from "Microsoft" saying that our computer has a virus and we never listen. Sometimes we can get up to 15 calls in one night.
