As I was checking out the topics in the forum of one of the communities I belong to, I came across Make Serious Money Online blog. One of the author’s posts caught my attention. It was about online scams. If you guys remember, last month, I have posted a couple of email scams which I got from my spam folder. One was from a ‘lottery organized for email users around the world’, while the other is from a certain bank in Hong Kong. I posted the full content of the letters so that more people will become aware (see them under the category ’scams and the city’). Unfortunately for me, though, the more I post those kinds of mails, the more enthusiastic the scammers become. A week after I posted the first letter, the email from this bank in Hong Kong arrived. I decided to post that second letter too, and then two days later, another one arrives. So I told myself, I’m not going to post another letter here so ‘they’ will stop. Well, after the fourth fifth sixth I don’t know how many anymore, they stopped. I’d still received one once I awhile though, but they get deleted as soon as I see them in my spam folder.
Again, my reminder – always be careful, online and offline
