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.

CAPT.JAMES WILLIAM = OAU (compensation for African Fraud Victims) = Scam

Totally a fake / fraud / scam email, that will cost you money in order to receive (not receive) a bogus check. There are two ways this fraud works, either you need to wire money up front for processing fees or costs, or they will forward you a cashiers check for you to deposit and wire the taxes / fees to another party and once this is done you will get the principle balance, but of course the 1st check is fake and you will owe your bank back the balance.

So many things wrong with the email not counting the typo FRAUDLENT which is silly on it's own as this email is to help you resolve fraudulent activities. The fact they are attaching the Microsoft name to the project, the fact numerous emails are all over the world and free accounts, plus AOL?

This whole thing is a mess!
