AVOIDING INTERNET EMAIL SCAMS

Email ia an excellant way to communicate with people, However, It is also an excellant way for spammers and scammers to reach you.

A few of the different types of email scams out there are:

1) People who claim to have a lot of money and who need a foreign bank account ( Yours ) to be able to get the money out of their Country, There are a lot of variations on this scam but they will either try to get your bank details, and / or they will tell you that you need to send some money to them so that they can send the money to you. If you receive one of these emails, Either report it and delete it, Or just delete it, Never respond to these types of emails.

2) Ebay winning notification emails and payment reminder emails are often sent by scammers, Of course the email will look real and it will tell you that you have won an item and that it costs such and such, The scam works by you clicking on a link in the email and then entering your EBay ID and password, This will then give the scammers total control over your account. Genuine emails sent by Ebay will have your full name at the top, But Im sure that scammers can do that to, So NEVER click on a link in the email, Log onto Ebay the way you normally do and see if the email is real, If your account says that you did win the auction that you know nothing about, Then your account has been hijacked and you need to report it immediatly to Ebay.

3)Paypal security and update emails are also a common trick that scammers use, They will say things like " We have noticed suspicious activity in your account etc etc" In fact they will say anything that they think will make you click on the link and enter your password, So, NEVER click on the link in the email, Log onto Paypal the normal way and see if the email is real. Before signing onto Paypal when you are on the signing in page, Have a look at the web address in the web browser, Paypals will begin https://, If the S is missing you are not on paypals sign in page or secure site.

4) Scammers will also send official looking emails from banks, As with the emails above, NEVER click on a link in a email, If you are a customer of that bank, log on the normal way, or phone up the bank to confirm the email.

IF YOU NEVER CLICK ON A LINK IN A EMAIL YOU WILL AVOID A LOT OF SCAMS.

I hope this guide helps you and that these scammers never get you
