Email Phishing Scam Warning

[DollyKim]

I'm due for traffic court on the other side of the country and I don't even drive. They also have the airline ticket waiting for me.

If a computer tech ever calls me I can tell them its about time I got some help with my Commodore 64.

Hello, board. I am really a Nigerian prince. Surprise! If you send me your banking information I'll make you rich! Or... something like that. Yeah!

Ivan, we know you're not from Nigeria. You better come up with a better line than that.

Foiled again.

"No you're not! You're a {bleeping} scammer! I'm going to {bleeping} track you down and when I find you, I'm going to {bleeping} tear your {bleeping} arm off, {bleeping} beat you to {bleeping} death with it, then {bleeping} tear your {bleeping} head off and have my dog {bleep} the {bleeping} hole where your {bleeping} head was!"

They hung up without a word and have not called since.

LMAO reading this. Way to go VV.

One of my coworkers just got one on his email, a woman in a refuge camp in Senegal who needs his help to access millions of dollars left to her by her late father, who was a doctor. And one of the pictures she sent him was in club wear. Maybe she's the cousin of that Nigerian prince?

Great internet service in those Senegalese refugee camps, nice to know the disco has opened there. Boko Haram scared the Ebola off, right? Wait, don't you speak French there?

If your coworker wants to play with the scammer give them the gift of the average American idiot.

I actually got a new one today. In my Gmail spam file there was an email from my daughter - her name anyway. However, there's no reason she'd be in my spam and her email doesn't show her name. Out of curiousity I click it and there was a link for me to "check out". How thoughtful and considerate of my daughter! Only the return addy was a jumble of letters of numbers instead of Joy's email. I'm not that dumb......

So - assume first that it's a scam and NEVER click a link from an email you don't absolutely trust!
