Many People Believe PayPal Settlement
Site Is A Scam
08/03/2004 09:40 PM
Last week we pointed out how many people fall for phishing scams while also noting that many people assume legitimate messages are part of phishing scams. Just two days later, PayPal sent out messages to many of their users about a class action lawsuit settlement that entitled many users to some money. I got the email, and was immediately suspicious. It turns out I wasn't alone. While many people are going to the site (the site actually buckled under all the traffic) plenty have stayed away assuming it was a scam.

Do Not Spam Site A Spam Scam


Do Not Spam Site A Spam Scam 02/12/2004 07:39 PM
The FTC is warning (once again) of a scam site that looks like the "Do Not Call" site run by the FTC, but promises to put you on a do not spam list. The site is, of course, a scam for spammers to pick up more email addresses. This isn't the first time this has happened. The site is conveniently using the .us domain to make it look more legit. Amusingly, if you click on the site's "privacy" link, you get a 403 Permission Forbidden.

Scam Busters Just As Bad As Scam
Victims?


Scam Busters Just As Bad As Scam
Victims?
01/19/2004 05:05 AM
An odd article out of South Africa complaining that scam busters are just as bad as scam victims - in that they act in just as predictable a manner. Of course, the scam busters aren't the folks losing money to the scammers, and, in fact, they often are doing a good job to spread news of a scam to protect potential victims. So, I'm a bit confused as to what's so upsetting about people taking it upon themselves to tell others about a scam. Certainly, there are some things that don't deserve to be publicized, but are, due to the intensity of the efforts against them. However, scams are something that clearly should be publicized to limit the negative impact. It seems that the real complaint of the writer isn't so much scam busters, but "fad" busters who complain about people getting hooked on the latest fad. However, fads and scams are two very different things.

Scam Within A Scam Warning


Scam Within A Scam Warning 12/22/2003 07:43 PM
There have been a ton of warnings about so-called "phishing" spam scams - where a very realistic email from a well-known financial firm asks you to confirm the details of your account. Of course, the email isn't real and the scammers just want your account details. They go through all sorts of tricks to hide the fact that the email isn't real, but the latest such phishing scam uses a bit of social engineering. It warns people about such scams, and then says they need to fill out new information to avoid being taken by such a scam. It seems the scammers are trying to get increasingly clever, and it's an interesting social engineering trick to try to get people to let down their guard by first warning them about a scam - and then scamming them anyway.

Latest Scam: Pay Us For Using @


Latest Scam: Pay Us For Using @ 08/17/2004 03:23 PM
TheRegister has picked up one of the more amusing scam emails apparently making the rounds. It's not entirely clear how much they're actually asking for (the quoted email shows a few different amounts), but those behind the scam are suggesting that they've copyright ed the "@" symbol and users need to pay (somewhere around $10 to $20) for an unlimited one-year license. The thing is... some people might actually fall for something like this.

Following The Bouncing 419 Scam


Following The Bouncing 419 Scam 07/09/2004 01:13 PM
Because no one can believe just how often people are fooled by obvious 419 scams, the folks over at TheRegister have put together a story looking at the details of how one works, including the entire series of emailed correspondences. They also checked out the fake bank that the sucker sent his money too, and even spoke to someone claiming to work at the bank, who quickly got upset and hung up on them as he discovered where the phone call was headed. However, as they point out, it was the guy's own greed that got him into the situation: "He allowed his desire for riches to suck him into a scheme that - even if true - he must have known to be illegal. He has no recourse to law and the 419ers are laughing all the way to their bogus London bank."

Romancing The E-Scam


Romancing The E-Scam 12/02/2003 12:13 AM
It's fairly impressive what scammers can trick people out of. A man in Minnesota has been arrested for tricking two women out of over $300,000. He met them both in "romantic" online chat rooms, and convinced them to give him money to invest in various real estate deals that apparently didn't exist. One woman was scammed out of $36,000, but the other forked over $280,000 before she realized that the real estate deals didn't exist. So, here's the question: you meet someone in an online "romance" chat room and they start asking you for money. At what point do you stop and do a little due diligence before just sending them checks? I would think that most people wouldn't even bother to speak to the guy again, but if you can get past that, you'd at least try to find out a little more about what you were investing in. Some people apparently have too much money on their hands and don't seem to care what happens to it.
