No, that’s perfectly legit – you are the winner of an entry in some sweepstakes. Value, nil of course. Or rather, negative, if you bother claiming it, thus verifying the contact info.

Of course, the classic spam scam has got to be “I read your {resume|profile} and was very impressed with your experience with regards to an opening at one of my best clients. Please revert me your CV at your earliest convenience.”

I’ve been wanting to read a book about this, Phishing For Phools by two economists of whom I’m a fan, Robert Shiller and George Akerlof. It’s been on my reading list, one of those books I’ve listened about and read articles about probably just enough that I’ve never taken the time for the book itself. Both Akerlof and Shiller have changed economics toward something that accepts and tries to understand the irrational elements of economic decision-making. This particular book is a kind of history of scams and bad-faith economic acts in the US (they say they didn’t want to insult other people’s countries), and that’s tied to some greater ramifications about how we can see the economy and market activity in general.
