email scams

[Newbiewar]

I'm sure most people receive these email scams from time to time.

from time to time i read these scams because they have an interesting title or seem like they could be from an aquantance or someone who wants me have certain knowledge about something.

I read this one today, an email I received, I will share with you because not only does it involve a cash prize, but a Toyota... I believe it to be interesting to involve a global company in some sort of human resource finding scam...

your thoughts? I edited the reference number just in case it is somehow linked to my email

Very interesting considering Toyota doesn't even sell the Camry, much less the Camry Hybrid, in Great Britain.
