Email scam definition with an example

As per Wiki, e-mail definition is as follows.

 I have received multiple scam( hoax) emails from various people but being enough technical, I can easily identify its authenticity and I never respond to them. Sometimes I think people/ hackers send this kind of emails because they probably getting response from innocent people.
Fishing emails from Nigeria
To tell you an example of fraudulent emails claiming that they are from Google Corporation, I have copied one here I have received today and asking for all my details like Contact address, mobile number, Nationality, SCANNED COPY OF ID PROOF etc.., if anyone shares all those details, it’s easy for anyone to easily break their email passwords, bank login details or it could be anything. I think most of the people refer this kind of emails as “Nigerian/ Ghana scams, online scams, internet scams etc.

Guys, be careful, don’t EVER EVER respond to this kind of emails and report them as SPAM.
