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.

Oregon! Will that work?

Dear Beloved in Christ,

I am Mrs. Oliva Baker an aging widow suffering from long time illness. I
have some funds I inherited from my late husband, the sum of US$8,400,000.00
and I needed a very honest and God fearing Christian that will use the fund
for God's work, I found your email address from the internet and decided to
contact you.
Please if you would be able to use the funds for the Lord's work, kindly
reply for further details.
Yours in the Lord,
Mrs. Oliva Baker
