Ok, this is probably outside the bounds of this comm, but It might be where someone who could provide me some context on these messages.
For the past week, at least once a day, I get emails with subjects and bodies like this:
subject: uIeNk用你IP帮我打綵缥每天3OO伽qun957077310
Use your IP to help me play Caiying for 3OO coins every day
body: lPuNa用你IP帮我打埰漂每天3OO伽qun646730451
Use your IP to help me pay for 300 coins a day
email display name: lPuNa用你IP帮我打埰漂每天3OO伽qun646730451
Each one is a different QQ.com email address, which I understand to be one of China's everything apps like WeChat, or maybe it's the same?
I hesitate to block qq.com entirely, any thoughts?
My best guess is - Gambling is illegal in China and it appears they're asking if you can gamble on their behalf (buy lottery tickets) or use your IP to circumvent gambling limits. They'll pay you 300 (coins) per diem, then they share you the ID to join a QQ group. It uses a mix of pinyin and homophones to avoid filters (e.g. 伽qun instead of 加群 jiaqun for 'join group' 埰漂 instead of 彩票 caipiao 'lottery ticket')
it's spam
Yes, clearly a scam, I think OP was also curious about what kind of scam so wanted to weigh in.
I'm sure you were aware, I just feel it's important to point this out as there can be someone reading who is in a vulnerable condition.
QQ is one of the huge email providers in mainland China. It's hosted by Tencent, like WeChat. Another huge one is NetEase (@ 163.com, 126.com, 139.com)
If one must, Tencent/QQ emails are represented at similar rates to Gmail in the US, where NetEase is like Yahoo/Hotmail (and still somehow only has SMS MFA...)
