Panda Research Phishing Email Scam #3

Hi [enter name here],

Thank you for expressing your interest in the writing job posted online.  As the response to the ad was rather overwhelming, we quickly found the right candidate who was able to get the job done.  However, we have another position that might be up your alley.

We work with hundreds of companies who need feedback before they launch new products and services.  Our Online Researchers simply review these services (basically just look at websites) and provide their opinions and critique.  It is a perfect position for someone who has a knack for writing.  You get paid anywhere from $5 to $75 per site you review.  Each one takes roughly 5-10 minutes, so this can actually be a very lucrative position.

You DO NOT have to pay anything to become an Online Researcher, nor do you have to buy anything.

In addition to earning cash for sharing your opinion, you also will be given the opportunity to win some great prizes for your participation in the program.

We look forward to hearing from you!
