I am in Australia and the amount of junk e-mail I receive is incredible. I frequently get 'business partnership' proposals which never seem to end up anywhere. Are some of these scams to get your details?

I would personally suggest to maybe just ignore these sort of emails as they are generally most likly just that scams to get your details.

Unless you have approached certain people to send you proposals and you know where they are coming from i would just tend to ignore them and hit the delete button without even giving it a second thought.

More than likely they are scams. Or multi-level marketing as well.

I agree with Joel, just delete them and go on to reading your more important emails

Actually, some of them are legit but it really depends on how deep you look into it (i.e. do your due diligence). Two encounters I had turned out to be extremely fruitful relationships… both to do with web design, development and marketing services out of India.
