If you click on the title link above you will see previous posts about Online Fraud.
I am particularly disgusted by a fraudulent email I received today [ see copy below].
Firstly this gangster tries to convince me that this message is not a scam!
Secondly he refers to a victim of the Trade Center - Sept. 11, 2001 tradgedy.
The object of this email fraud is identity theft.
He requests that his proposition be kept private and confidential- therefore I have decided to post it here.
One would think that these email fraud scams are too obvious to work. However the fact that these type of emails are continously hiting my inbox for the past few years, leads me to believe that people are still falling for these scams. If these scammers were not getting any results I don't think that they would persist.
Perhaps if everyone who has the facility to post these fraudulent messages would do so, then we can raise the public awareness to the point that fraudulent emails become redundant.
So I invite anyone reading this post to copy and paste this post and the other posts refered to above onto their blogs - sites - billboards etc.
