Don't fall for email scams.
by Michael Bilgic
Hi guys, you know if good old Mick here answered all the
fraudulent and scamming emails not for one week but just for one
day,Hey I would be a very rich man.Naturally I would be a
billionare by one week if I was to believe them.
Normally by the time I wake up and turn the coffee machine on
for a nice brew,and log on my p/c....Hey presto! I am worth and
have just won amongst 5 emails over $10,000,000 pounds and
dollars.I knew internet marketing was good but this great:)
What a great bunch of never acquainted friends I have on cyber
world, entering competitions for me and winning them on my
behalf.Plus having the courtesy to not run away with it but
actually let me know about it,and the nice links I have to click
with all my details of how I would like to be paid,gosh I must
be soooo loved...but.!
But their is a catch....I must not tell anyone ssshhh, and it is
extremely private,so as no one else can double claim the
fortune.This is supreme love and caring for me,don't you
think.?:)
I am now duly important enough for the secretary of large bank
firms and oil corporations ,and the odd aircraft crash victims
trustee' s etc contacting me,and lately even JR Ewing from
Dallas...How fortunate am I...But I always ask why me,? Why did
I deserve to be so cared for and loved.? what have I done to
attract this fortune, love and blessings from the Universe.?
My mistake would have been letting my email out to unsavoury
online sites,firms, business sections etc.In other words not
protecting my privacy enough with due care.Actually be carefull
who you join up with.Always use a throw away email if you are
not 100% sure of the credentials of whom ever or which ever site
you are joining.Here's why.
Some firms or bad operators actually sell your email on to
others,when you unsubscribe from a list,why.?Because this only
confirms your email address is alive and well.You might be
actually be better just blocking the sender rather than
unsubscribing from some sites online is my tip,and in good time
as your email bounces from their servers they will delete your
email,..Naturally they cannot send or sell a dud email address
to any crooks or spammers.
Don't be so upset you receive them,It is a great learning curve
on the methods and way crooks operate,thus in the long term
consider it an education for yourself and family and friends for
you to give advice.Make no mistake about it they are getting
more clever and evolving by the minute,and you have to be on
your guard and game to spot the crooks with their emails from a
mile away,no matter how convincing they sound or come accros.
Unfortunately their efforts and scaming schemes reflect bad
light onto the 95%+ majority of hard working honest
people,websites,webmasters and genuine business operators online
with integrity who would rather loose money than their
reputation and name.
I have seen them all,but In anycase look out for EMAIL headings
such as.
1.NEXT OF KIN 2.STRICKTLY CONFIDENTIAL 3.VERY URGENT
4.PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL 5.CONFIRM YOUR WINNINGS 6.CALL TO CONFIRM
7.BY HIS GRACE(don't fall for the religious sob story trap)
8.VERY URGENT 9.IN GOOD FAITH 10.YOUR OVERDUE INHERITENCE.
11.CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNGS. 12.LOTTO WINNINGS.etc etc etc.
As I stated don't be mad,use it as a learning curve to look into
the minds of the crooks to better arm yourself.Quite frankly
these guys have sucked and hurt a lot of people out of their
hard earned funds.Virtually clearing their bank accounts
overnight.And in the process have hurt the honest genuine
operators online.I sometimes don't know if I should feel sorry
or angry at people whom have fallen as the scammers prey,Yes
unfortunately human greed to get rich overnight takes over their
normal sane senses and are immediately blinded by easy
riches,whom the crooks rely on.In otherwords
MONEY-EMOTION-DREAMS-GREED- = BAIT FOR SCAMMERS.THEY USE THIS
PHYSCOLOGY TO LURE THEIR PREY INTO THEIR SCAMBAITS.
Take a look at a few examples below,most of you will see
something similar or might accros. I will show you two similar
scam mails sent by different operators.It is a good laugh for
the guarded, but gnashing teeth,tears and pain for the victims.
Please note I have modified emails and telephone numbers only,as
we do not want to emulate the crooks.
Remember all they want to do is empty your bank accounts and
your pockets,via you giving them details.
