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.

PHISH & SCAM Warning > YOUR ATMCARD PAYMENT!!!!

Of course this is pure Phish for information to then add to possible scams.
Asking for a copy of ID in an email is outrageous and hopefully no one would
ever fall for such a clear scam.

Please keep an eye on the blog for other scams to avoid. As they come in we
will update the blog with new and potentially dangerous scams.
