Don’t
click on links inside of emails like this!
“You
have a payment of $500 waiting in your PayPal account! All you have
to do is click here!”
Dear,
unpaid beneficiary ...
Sincerely
you are lucky person
I
have important cause that I'm
“funding”, and need your support.
Sob
story about being stranded somewhere, and needing money.
“Your
application has been approved” email
“You
are a winner” emails
I
have good news about your FREE GIFT
Warning
that local loan interest rates have hit rock bottom
Do
you want to help an married women expose her cheating spouse
Make
money sue someone.
An
alert that a sex offender has moved into your neighborhood.
If
you really are concerned there’s a warning, hover over the link and
check the URL in the status bar on your browser. What
you’ll discover is that it goes to some silly dot-com URL that you
probably won’t recognize, not some .org or .gov URL like you’d
expect if it came from a legitimate agency.
The
reason these are still around are that they work, on charity, greed,
forgetfulness, and fear.
