Email Scam - Website Development & Mobile Application Proposal

I have been receiving a lot of copies of an email message with the subject: "Website Development & Mobile Application Proposal," from a company offering website design services and development. The email message states that the company is an IT company, sometimes located in India, Pakistan or the United States. Now, clearly the persons behind the email message are attempting to trick web-masters into falling for their scam.

Why would a reputable or established company NOT put the name of their website in the email message, so persons can visit the website to view more information about the same company?

Also, why is the website: www.best-websolution.org (name may change), where the email message came from, doesn’t exist?

Well, the only logical reason is that scammers are attempting to trick webmasters into paying for services that they will never receive.

Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into stealing their personal information and/or sending money. Remember, never send your personal information to anyone in an email message or send money to someone who contacted you via email message.
