This article is pretty scary and if you use Gmail, you should read it.
What would you do if a criminal stole something very personal, and very valuable from you?
What if they were able to target your business and criple your income?
You wouldn’t be too happy now, would you?
What if you also discovered that this was happening because of a Google security infection that can affect every GMail user on the planet?
That’s what has just happened to me, and here I’m going to tell you my story. I will detail everything I know about the web pirates who are threatening my livelihood, and tell you what you need to know in order to avoid the same thing happening to you.
Spotting Scams Online
Posted by Pam on Dec 02 2007 | Tagged as: Internet Scams
Here is one scam. A friend emailed to ask me if the car advertised in the South Coast Craigslist (our area) was fake or not. He’s asked before and they were always bogus.
How did I spot it? He sent me the link and I ran the email address through Google and it gave me 2 links … one for an identical car in Washington, DC and another for a car being sold on Craigslist that had been removed.
ALWAYS check before making such a purchase online
