The following email got spammed to everyone in my CS department this morning:

Subject: UF Student looking for Computer Science Assistance

I am in need of a programmer who can build an intricate social networking site. Without revealing too much information, I am in the process of obtaining an LLC for this venture, which should turn out to be extremely successful. Hopefully someone within your college could assist me in the formation of a website and a fee would be paid for such assistance.

Let's play "count the red flags".
