What a way to start a day. I woke up early and as usual checked my e-mails and hooray! another mail for me telling me that I have a 1.5 million dollars to be collected thru Western Union. Could you imagine that, if all this e-mails are real I could have been a millionaire by now.
Unfortunately we all know that this kind of e-mails are a SCAM. Who ever falls for it are somewhat...? Most of this e-mails were the classic " Nigerian Scams ", con artist whatever they are; who sent mails like this probably almost everyday looking for a prey. They are lazy people who make a living swindlling, robbing innocent people out of their hard earned cash.They are thieves who don't fear God, or could be some pathetic guy looking for an easy way to make money.
There are numerous scam on the internet right now. My advice is, before you become a victim of these or any sort of scams,
- Make a thorough research on the subject matter especially if it involves money,cash ,credit card.
- Know the law, I am not saying you become a lawyer. Just know the basics, where to get help just in case, ask a lawyer, find contact number of governing bodies in your area.
- Ask around, seek information , " google it ".
- Do not give your personal information, credit card number to people you don't know or any unsolicited list. Think smart!
