Email Scams
Examples of Scams
I created this hub to keep people informed of the on going scams that are happening through email. I get them everyday, Americans are bilked out of millions per year from these operations.
I have always found it hard to believe that people would fall for such crap.
I added a few that I received today. The US government says that are tring to stop these spammers but truth is they will never stop spam. The only way to stop emailers from using your email to get your money is to stop buying stuff when you get a spam email.
Stop putting your personal infomation online.
I went to my space and 1000s of people put real information about themselfs.
Even their shoe size.
Lets get real people if you dont want to get ripped off dont use your real information online.
How smart can it be to publish your real name and address and school you went to with your picture on the internet?
I am wondering what the hell people are thinking.
