Default More schemes

Credit card schemes are frauds who just want to steal your identity like credit card number, sss, address and alike, and could probably put you into a deeper debt!

Sex products like herbal remedies or that all-natural blah blah. Always check with your doctor and pharma. While some of these are premeditated to cash in on the placebo effect!

Pyramid scams/ business activities have been around for a long time. It needs an invariable flood ofnew recruits to pay the people around them. That's why, the benefit of spam. So beware and you just might be in prison for swindling a lot of people!

Scenario: You'll receive an e-mail from, say, Anna Lakudwa (widow of Congolese ex-dictator Louis Lakudwa). Turns out she's got a pile of cash from government kickbacks, and she needs a foreign account to get it out of the country. If you help, you'll keep 20% (about $10 million) and she'll keep the rest. Familiar? The sooper popular PLEASE HELP ME SCAM! You've specified your information, she has persuaded you to meet her in Congo (something went wrong with the money transfer), and you've been detained because you didn't have the proper visa (she said she'd take care of it). And voila! You're primed for extortion.

Tsk tsk tsk! Beware!

All of these are types of email scams . I think many people are now able to recognise them . But what makes me wonder is that why these spammers are still doing this emailing when they know that it is not doing any more good .
Most of these emails tend to have an unsubscribe link and that what is very dangerous too . I used to get quite a spam in my email account and I tried that unsubscribe link also . they say that your email will be removed in 48 hrs or so , but in fact that never happens and shockingly that increases the spam . maybe because they are now sure that the email is a frequently checked one .
