Got this email..

Must be spam as this is first email, came with "Re:" in subject


Not sure what kind of spam is this! and what are they getting out of this spam!

If some one from U.S. Department of Labor/Wage-Hour Division is to contact a business.
Do they go and send random emails?

Don't have a company name or persons name to talk to..

Can't they afford to have a 1-800 number?

Any one received this kind of email before?

If it is really from DOL, they know my company name or they know my name.
It won't start with "Re:" for the 1st communication..



I am 200% confident this is spam/spam..
My main question is what are they getting with this spam?

It is a 419 scam.

If you correspond they will tell you that you have lots of money coming your way and they want a up front cost to obtain.
