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.

Email Money Scam DR. ATIKU BELLO & MR. MAXIMUS PEN

I CAN'T STAND EVERYTHING IN CAPS.  It kills my eyes and makes my shiver!  Goosebumps!

What a pile of crap this email is... comes from China and they want you to reply back to gmail.  Doesn't anyone own their own domain name anymore?

Also "I before E except after C etc..."
