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.

FBI Scam Email / kelvinwil205@blumail.org / Do contact Mr. Kelvin Williams

Ugh.. not another phony FBI Message, this is getting old and dull. Wish there was something more exciting like "We're holding Bugs Bunny hostage and will Kill that Wascally Wabbit unless you send $500 to the barrister holding him"  That is at least different and may wish to donate a couple bucks to the cause. 

Sad Scam = Bad
