    Red flag #1: It's written in poor English, as if by an immigrant or more likely someone in a different country. Yet, the signed name is distinctly English. Red flag #2: Obviously inflated pay. There's no reason a personal assistant would earn that much, so it seems like a tactic to draw people in. Red flag #3: This is the big one. No legitimate employer would ever ask for your SIN over email. The SIN is required for real jobs, but it is given on an actual application form or directly to the manager since it's such sensitive information. Similarly, this employer should not have any need for your passport. So yes, this is very clearly a scam. Fake passports (copied from real ones) are valuable on the black market, and asking for SINs over email is just identity theft waiting to happen.

    Of course it is a scam. I got a similar letter and told them to take my processing fee out of the money they were holding for me. Funny enough, I never heard from them again.

    It's a scam, 20.00 processing fee, ha!, think how much they'll rake in from the thousands who will hand over the " fee ".

    Oh, bless you! Recycle as rubbish immediately. If you win any sort of a prize legitimately, they can afford to pay for the stamp to post you the cheque!

    Same goes for the ones which tell you to ring premium rate numbers.

    it's a scam, why they wanted you pay £19.99 to claim your money? I got one and i sent it back and wrote it if i really won that money, just dedacted £20 from the money that i won....never got letters again after that

    Source(s): my own
