I am sure we have all seen the E-Mails about how you are the beneficiary of a lottery or a payment that was supposed to be paid by a company in "Nigeria". Or you have hit the YAHOO, Coke, Google, Bing lottery.
They have even wanted to send me a ATM cards that was to have $100,000.00 per week added to the account so I could spend it as I pleased. Let's not forget about the people that send me E-Mails stating they are dying and want to send me their cash to help the needy and or the homeless.
Well these are all scams. They want your personal information. I have kept track of all the money they wanted to "send me". And it tallies to over a "BILLION DOLLARS".
Several E-Mails I had received over the last year was from Robert Mueller, The director of the FBI,
it stated that there was a package at the United Nations building for me. And I needed to send the personal information in order to receive the package. But there is a catch. Send a payment of $179.00 so the package was to clear customs.
And they wanted my personal information again. "Really" I thought. the FBI want to send me a package and wants My information as well.
#1 the FBI already knows who I am. If they don't a few "clicks" and they sure as hell would know who I am and where I live. They would not send an E-Mail, they would send a agent to knock on my door or worse.
So Don't fall for any of these scams I have not and hope you are aware of all the "scams" out there.
They just want to part you with your money.
Be safe ACTIVE RAIN members.
