Scooter Bob Posted March 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 17, 2012 Hard to believe the FBI did all that investigating, and still doesn't know if the money is from an inheritance, or a lottery. What are we paying these people for? Hey Boomer, will you be buying me a new scooter after you get your money? Later, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted March 17, 2012 Share #5 Posted March 17, 2012 I probably shouldn't do it BUTTTTT I save most of those emails and every time I get a new one I copy and paste all of the other ones individually and reply to them. I send out 15 or 20 emails a week that way, only take about 10 minutes. I use that for my aggression therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthandy Posted March 17, 2012 Share #7 Posted March 17, 2012 Tell them you are very concerned with the possibility of fraud and that if they send you $5,000 for travel fare and expenses, you will look into this personally. Then send them an official email from the Ocean Front Property Realty Company of New Mexico with details of some fantastic ocean front property in Taos, New Mexico. For just $10,000 down they can lock in an offer to purchase a 1.5 million dollar property for the measly sum of $50,000. Such a deal!!!

BradT Posted March 18, 2012 Share #9 Posted March 18, 2012 I send out 15 or 20 emails a week that way, only take about 10 minutes. I would doubt any of those email replies gets read. probably deleted as soon as it comes in or before. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad you're most likely correct but as I said, it's therapy. Scammers work on the odds system when they send an email. If they send out 100,000 eamils and get 1/2% to respond with then they win. If I reply with however many I send back and if even one of them get thru and takes up their time, I WIN Again, therapy - now it's almost daylight, I'm going fishin' more therapy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octoberboy Posted March 18, 2012 Share #12 Posted March 18, 2012 Spam, scam, phishing, etc.... Best thing to do with most of this stuff, assuming you get a good sense of what it might be from the email subject, is not even open it. If you do open it, after realizing what it is, delete it. Most, if not all, email programs have a way to mark an email as either junk or bulk. If you are using anti-virus software like Norton or McAfee, you can tag the email as spam, or whatever term each uses, assuming they did not auto detect it. Why? One reason not to open it is the act of opening an email can cause embedded code to run. That code can gather info from your computer or put other code, a virus for example, on it. Gathered info could be sent from your computer right away, when you forward or reply to the email or the next time your email program does a send of any email. When the embedded or deposited code chooses to do its' damage is arbitrary. Mostly it is right away, sometimes it will be in the future. Forwarding a potentially bad email will just facilitate its' damaging effectiveness. I will also include the seemingly innocuous chain emails. The ones that say if you send this to three friends you will be blessed or don't break the chain it is bad luck, etc, etc. These can just be less subtle, more emotionally appealing ways to do the same damaging things. Anti-virus software "helps" protect you but isn't perfect. If you really think something is bad, like that FBI email, you should report it to the IC3 (internet fraud compliant center) or the FBI. Links are below. While we may get physically hurt on our bikes, damage from the Internet, which is mostly financial, can be just as or more negatively impactful. As careful as we try to be on our bike, please be so on the Internet too. One last thing, if you use anti-virus software keep it up to date either, manually or automatically. http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/cfr.php?URL=https%3A%2F%2Ffbijobs.gov/62.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
