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.

Lottery Scam ---> FW: YOU HAVE WON

I really don't know WHY people who try to scam you think that we would
belive that Big Companies that would be giving away MILLIONS of dollars
would not have their own email and have to use Microsoft's Live mail for
replies?

Huge Scam

Hi,

Just a warning about this. I received an email disguised as if it was from my service provider. The email went to say the provider was upgrading there server and needed me to input my password. Yeah right!!
Anyway it was from a similiar address to the above.

Here it is : tccfo@krahejahospitality.com

Beware a genuine business would NEVER ask you to enter your password into an email reply.
