Security and Privacy

The lengths that scammers will go to try to convince a possible victim is quite unbelievable
The following email dropped in my spam box

I really can’t believe anyone will think the FBI issue or verify credit cards/ATM cards & charge you $95 insurance fee for the privilege

Once again the advice is, if it doesn’t look right, then it isn’t right so delete these scam emails and don’t reply to them or phone the numbers given. All that will do is get you a big phone bill from dialling a premium rate international phone number

We seem to have a new batch of the Microsoft lottery spam emails again

These have a @live.com email address with what at first glance looks like it could be a proper microsoft or MSN email address ( they of course are not genuine Microsoft or associated with Microsoft in any way)

DO NOT fall for the scam & try to ring the 070240****** number . it is a premium rate number that will have along recorded message on it and cost you £0.50 per minute

You won’t get any money from these scammers but they will get money from you

I have blanked out the full email address and phone number from the image to save the unwary
