scamwarners.com for suspect emails

Tweet

There are many attempts to scam you out of your money or identity coming through the internet in the form of emails...work from home processing checks for foreign companies...credit card offers that are too good to be true...requests to update your bank, internet service or paypal accounts, and more. My favorite are the ones that come from someone who has a terminal illness or is the only remaining family member of someone murdered by evil forces who are after the millions that are being held in secret and, in both cases, they want to ship the money to me (for a nominal fee) so that I can invest it for them and keep a percentage. These scammers are very well organized and, unfortunately, too many people fall for their lies. If you receive an email that concerns you, you can check out the forums on scamwarners.com. There's a search box in the upper right hand corner where you can enter your term ("paypal") and see if there have been discussions that fit your situation. It's best not to respond to these scams since that tags your email address as an active one and you end up on a list that's passed around among the various groups who do this.
