Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Monday, January 17, 2005

Scams do not always come in the form of the ludicrous Nigerian emails, that litter your mailbox, sometimes the scam can seem more believable.

This one dropped into my mailbox today.

It claims to be from eBay, in fact it is a phish. It is designed to con me into accessing a seemingly legitimate website, and then revealing pass codes and account details.

No legitimate organisation will ever ask you for your pass codes. The website that it directs you to is a fake.

You have been warned!
