Some people in business love the idea of public recognition and fame and some regard such accolades as just a part of Marketing their business and some hate the whole idea.

Scammers create fake organisations supposedly giving out awards to business people and directories of the top businesses and Who’s Who registers etc.

This latest scam starts with ‘Congratulations! You have been chosen for inclusion in America’s Professional’s Register “.

The salutation is “Dear valued Customer” which means the sender has no idea who she is sending the message to and hence it is a simple scam email. She is supposedly from a professional body but her email address is a give-a-way (selfdefensecare.icu) so she’s reusing an old scam email address.

The reader is supposed to be flattered at the idea of inclusion is a prestigious register and magazine and click the link to add more details to their profile (which of course they do not have as they don’t know my name).

Only a moron would click such a link.
