Nearly fell for a scam
The text follows below. Thunderbird, the email client I use, picked up on the scam. The links weren’t actually to the places they purported.
On behalf of International WHO’S WHO of Professionals, I am pleased to inform you that you have been nominated as a candidate for inclusion in the 2008 Edition. We congratulate you! Nomination into WHO’S WHO is an honor in itself. WHO’S WHO has over 20,000 members in 154 countries worldwide. It is the most elite professional network in the world. Our members assist each other daily with business and career opportunities. It is in times like these that such a network is most valuable and we are seeing members help other members expand their businesses, find new positions, even relocate to another country.
If selected into WHO’S WHO, you will also be listed in the 2008 Edition of International WHO’S WHO of Professionals. This is the definitive work on the world’s leaders in commerce, economics, policy, and trade.
We do require additional information to complete the selection process and we ask that you provide your biographical data by accessing the form on our website at: http://www.internationalwhoswho.com/Nominations/FE2029C.aspx
Our editorial deadline is quickly approaching. I urge you to act today. If you delay, I cannot guarantee the committee will have ample time to review your submission.
I suppose everyone likes to have their ego massaged. At least it was fun for twenty seconds. More info on the scam here.
