FBI SEEKING TO WIRETAP INTERNET
Thanks to a blog reader for this yarn. The FBI are hard at work again, protecting me from yet more evil scammers. Last time I was told the villains were “puppy scammers” – imposters with whom I was entering into an illegal transacation. This time I’m told that there is an “unscrupulous element” trying to “scam” people out of their rightful contract payment.
I am firmly instructed to stop dealing with the scammers claiming to represent the Central Bank of Nigeria and contact this set of scammers instead with the contact details given.
Before you fall prey to this scam, ask yourself this question. Did I enter into a contract worth $20m with a company in Nigeria? I’ll give you a second or two to think about your answer.
Time up. If the answer is “no” – then do you seriously expect that someone you don’t know will suddenly give you that amount of money? Of course not.
If the answer is “yes” – well why are you reading this. You certainly won’t be exchanging emails with someone who uses a live.com email address.
Just delete the email and don’t reply.
If you prefer to get your own back on the scammers, install Spam Bully. Highly effective spam filter for Outlook, Windows Mail and Outlook and includes a “get back at the scammers” feature.
