  1. Just for your amusement, here's the latest scam. It started with a text message. "Your profile was received from Mandy.com. I'm Kim Wang from FreeFlow Production, a film production company based in south-east Asia..." They had a "project coming up in (my) district," and "we are in need of your skill." I was asked to "confirm (my) skill, availability and email your updated resume to vsw.official@gmail.com." It already smelled like a scam, but I am getting more (legit) job offers by text message these days, and some don't even bother to give their name or company name. I googled and found a company in Singapore called "FreeFlow Productions," so I attached my resume to an email. Here's the email I received in response, in full: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Greetings, I hope this beautiful day finds you doing well?
