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.

Another Microsoft Bogus Email Lotter Scam
Another twist on the Microsoft Lottery Scam (see blog post prior to this one). This one is especially silly as they say they are from Microsoft Corporation, but to reply you need to email a Yahoo Account.
If I won an email lottery, why don't they know my email address?
Do they not read the news.. the MS buyout of Yahoo did not happen, it is not the same company, so MS employees do NOT have Yahoo email addresses.
