good points Jack.
another very effective scam relates to names we know and trust. It could be a bank, eBay, Facebook, Paypal etc. You will get an email from them that appears totally official. It will direct you to a website that looks totally official. You will be asked to update your password and log in details for security reasons... again, seems so very legit. As you will expect, what you are actually doing is sending the scammer your details via a "facade" web page.
Warning: Legitimate businesses never ask you to do things this way.
look out for 2 things... the email address that the message is sent to you from, ie. if it's something like:
[email protected] or
[email protected]
etc it is a scam. | |
