From The Desk OF: Jamie Dimon C.E.OAnyone reading through this email will immediately recognize it as a scam. I never cease to be amazed that people actually fall for these cons. There are plenty of give-aways in the email based on the way language is used that it is certain not written by an American, most likely someone who speaks English as a second language. Never ever respond to any emails or open any attachments in emails from people you don't know or that look suspicious. I'm certain that Jamie Dimon would never contact me personally (though I am always open for a high paying job at JPM), and definitely not from email address westsidecandr@aol.com.

Hey...I guess you have to at least award a few points for creativity. As an economist I have to assume that because these types of scams proliferate there must be people who are stupid enough to fall for them. It is scary to say the least.
ReplyDeleteNormally I get the one from the orphan in Africa who just happens to have $10M US dollars and needs a way to smuggle it out of a war-torn country. But when Jamie Dimon talks, you have to pay attention....

Scammers never cease to amaze.
Somebody somewhere must be foolish enough to respond to these types of emails.
ReplyDeleteI used to get them from an African prince who needed my help. It's all quite Darwinian, wouldn't you say? "A fool and his money are soon parted"
