Email Scams

Email Scams

There are many email scams around, here’s some examples:

  • Emails, apparently from friends, asking for money to help them out of a problem
  • Emails from people you don’t know offering too-good-to-be-true deals or needed to dump money into your bank account
Example of an email apparently coming from a friend in need. I followed this one anonymously to find out how the scam works

Simple rules with any of these types of scam:

  • Do not reply – once the scammers have your details they will be relentless in their pursuit of you
  • NEVER, EVER give any details whatsoever to someone who has cold called you. Not even your name.
  • If it appears suspicious, then it probably is: Don’t respond
