Scambusters, Preventing Internet Scams & Phishing Attempts

This blog is dedicated to help preventing internet fraud and internet scams. Scambusters was a radio show I started in Albany Oregon, but due to defaulted payment by the radio station we took the show offline. Regardless of this issue we still wish to help prevent internet fraud and save people from internet loss. I have been interviewed and featured in various publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times & Daily News, The London Times & AARP Newsletters. Please watch this blog for latest tips and tricks and scams to avoid.

Ahmad R. Ismail & Co. Plane Crash Inheritance Scam

Just like the post prior, this one used a name with a relative that makes it seems real, funny enough I do have an uncle Martin Solomon, so if I was not into scams, it may make me think it is real, however why Malaysia, last I heard from him 15 years ago, he was retired in Florida?

They do say that we have a "similar last name' so we know the scammer is trying use us to help him scam others, to get the $$$ out, but still a scam. At least there are not as many typos in this one.
