 Quote From: gamaeat I have been getting these emails DAILY for a very long time!! I mark them as spam but they just keep coming!!! If not the lottery, then the inheritance from a poor deceased uncle. I have gotten the scam email from Bank of America (or so they would have you believe). That one was scary because it shows the logo from bank of america and return address from BOA !! They say your account has been breached or something to that effect and they need to verify your account info . I have NEVER had an account with BOA and am NOT naieve so i didn't fall for it !!!! But what about the poor folks on a limited income that DO have an account with BOA?? It looks so legitimate that I could see people getting taken after giving account info. I like the earlier response that says they offered to meet this person in central park with his people:):) What a clever response!!!! I hope you don't mind if i borrow that !!!!! Just remember to NEVER give ANY personal or account information online , if it is legitimate they will have no problem sending you the required info or forms!!! I can certainly relate to the scams that were identified today on Dr. Phil and when you are down and out with children and see these emails for the first time from places like MICRO SOFT it sincerely hurts the sole. I not only recieved checks that are still here, with me not knowing at all what to do with them but new enough not to touch them at all! For so long I have tried finding a way to work from home and I am sincere in that I am qualified, but then you see what is under all the b/s that comes along with a job offer and the bottom line a COST < when did you have to start paying to work and perhaps it was when I was not disable and able to work> because ever since I have had nothing but scams sent to me if not a college that always finds a way to make money on those less fortunate. Well I could go on and on but the fact of my writing is I am truly lost as to what to do with the checks, I want to report all the emails I have saved and the checks which I almost shredded, but didn't catch at all what Dr/ Phil's suggestion was so if anyone has that information, I would appreciate a post and I will do my best to STOP the non sense and pain caused to me and so very many who are undeserving of such b/s and scams. Bless ALL and Be Happy! |
