Signs & Formulas of Email Scams

March 22, 2008 By: Newbornbusiness Category: Scam

Many of us receive Email Letter Scams and I’m sure you too have received many in your inbox over the course of your online experience.

These kinds of Email Scams are assumed to be originated in Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Benin. They are easy to recognize to the experienced, but if you are new online check out the following signs:

- Basically you get an email requesting vital information such as your social security number, address, credit card number and more.

- You may find some sentences and words that are always written in “Bold Capital letters” like: “DEAR SIR/MADAM”, “YOUR HELP IS NEEDED”, “I BEG YOUR ASSISTANCE”, “URGENT”, “FROM MR/MRS…..”

- Request for personal banking information; any deal you find in these emails will be too good to be true. You may sometimes receive email claims that you are lucky and that the sender wants to transfer a large sum of money, usually millions of dollars, to you. All what you are supposed to do is sending your “bank account Information”.

- Request for advance payment in US dollars for transfer fees; many will then ask the victim (Email Receiver) to send good Dollars to cover transfer taxes in advance!

As I said before, email scamming is spreading widely nowadays and you might have a previous experience with any forms of it as there are many different forms of email scams like: Inheritance Scam, Employment Scam, Lottery Scam, IRS Refund, Phishing Scam, and Chain Emails. We will tackle every form widely in coming posts.

If you receive one of their fraudulent email pleas for help contact your local authorities or email provider immediately.
