Scam attempts: Aren’t they cute?

November 5, 2009 By Robert Owen

Stop!!! Don't do it!

Howdy all! I hope all is well for everyone this fine day!

Today, I got a fresh scan attempt in my e-mail.  This one is interesting in that fact that  it abandons the old  “Hey, I’m in another country and my pop died and I need to funnel his money out…” route.  This is attempting to lure you in by embracing the whole “random internet user” thing… In fact it addressees  it’s opening remarks to “Internet User“…

Is this supposed to give you a sense of security?  I don’t know but, from our other received “Scam Attempts” we’ve learned that these vial excuses for human beings are quite inventive in their methods to defraud you.

So, as always, if you get the following in an e-mail – delete it.  Then, get in your car, drive down to your local Pilot and by a Powerball ticket… You’ll have as much chance winning at that as you would have the chance that such an e-mail would be legitimate.
