Criminals are getting more sophisticated.  i too have gotten dozens of emails, some even partially filled in with my information.  i have several email address, so i seem to get a lot of this stuff.

 

my rule of thumb is, if i get an email asking for anything, i usually disregard it.  

 

Thanks V, for keeping us up to date.

Thanks for the warning my friend. Every day i open my emails i get dozens of this kind of crap. I block a few, new ones pop up next day. Speaking of people wasting valuable time to sit and compose such junk. I cannot find enough time in any 24 hours to do all the important things I want to do and these unscrupulous people waste so much. We certainly don't need these scampers in our so great a community as Adland. Why cant' people grow up! That's why we need friends to help watch each other's backs. ___________________________________________ http://www.ts25.com/index.jsp?ref=glowry http://www.trafficroundup.com/newuser.php?ref=glowry These Traffic Generators helps me much in sending quality visitors to my site.

Hi Venerina and Hello to everyone on AdlandPro,

 

This is not just "scam", this is probably a Multi Billion Dollars "BIZINESS" ( I can not call this "Business") which is keeps growing - unfortunately...

 

I start receiving similar messages since 1998, and I probably got more that 2-3 thousands of them so far. I just delete the messages.

 

ADVISE to all Adlanders:

DO NOT RESPOND to those messages!!!! Unless you are looking for BIG troubles!!!! Just ignore, or report the sender, but under any circumstances NO NOT REPLY to them!

 

Take care everyone and have a great week.

Andy

HI Venerina,

    It is amazing to me that some people still do this and think they are going to get away with it.

   Thank you for alerting us about this character in our community.

 

Your Good Friend

David,

 

Thank you for coming by.  Nice to see you .....I hope this helps someone.  I have been scammed myself Twice ... once in a very big way .... I even went as far as Paris for a meeting .... so I know quite a bit about how the Internet scams work.  Since my trip, I vowed to try and catch as many of these people as possible.

John,

 

Thank you for mentioning the banks .... On that note I think I should warn people that there are quite a few bank scams going around. 

You get an email saying all kinds of things:

1) That they are upgrading their services, so you need to log into your account following some kind of link.

2) The paypal one usually says that your logos have not been updated or some mumbo jumbo to that effect....

3) That you have not logged in for quite a while, etc etc etc

 

My advice to all is .... do not click on any link in the email.  If you are in doubt as to whether it is genuine or not, then please open your browser and log into your account that way .... If there are no notices in your account then delete the email without further ado .... and/or report it to your provider or to your bank.

 

Be safe friends.
