Scam Reviews - What Did We Learn?

BODY PARTS

First off, we all learned in 2008 that there are many ways to expand or enlarge various parts of our bodies, and that there are an endless number of individuals out there that will go to ANY lengths to get this info to us!

PAY PAL

We should also have learned that if anyone sends us email claiming that they are Pay Pal and that we need to immediately send them our name and Pay Pal login information or risk losing our Pay Pal accounts, that we better RUN the other way. We would do better to try to enlarge a body part.

The truth is that Pay Pal will NEVER have us send them our login info - They Already Have It. This is just an attempt to get our info so that scam artists can access and drain our accounts.

THEY NEED OUR HELP.

We have also learned that there are many widows, daughters, and sons of prominent government officials from unstable countries all over the world that need our help to get Millions out of their nations. The only draw back to these rock solid deals is that they will need from $1,000 to $25,000 or more of our own money to be sure that we are not crooks. HA. Just tell me where to wire the funds (no personal checks please).

ARE YOU LONELY?

We also discovered in 2008 that there is MUCH help for those who are lonely. That for the right price there are thousands of singles in your area (even if you live like I do in the rurals where there are only a few hundred people around) just dying to meet you. Just send your money and they will fix you up.

Another angle on this scam is the lonely Russian, Asian, or about any other type of girl you can imagine that is just dying for any ugly person that will pay attention to these beautiful ladies. For the right price (online - of course), they will show up at your door prepared for marriage.

SP*M SOLUTIONS

We also learned that there are many "Simple" SP*M solutions out there that will keep us from getting the offers mentioned above (and of course all the p^or^no emails). The strange thing about these hot solutions is that they are all promoted by SP*M!

Actually there are some very nice programs that run on the mail servers and will help filter out most of the sp*m for you. The bad news is that if your ISP does the filtering, you will probably not get the email you want either.

If you have your own domain or web site, check with your hosting company and see if they offer the Postini filter system. This one will even catch virus infected email before it gets to your inbox. After you watch your email for a few days, the program will develop a rhythm of what email you really want, and it will get rid of the rest (you have the ability to look at all the banned email to make sure it is not something you wanted. We found that after the initial set up and monitoring, the program performed GREAT.)

FISH FOOD

We learned that "worms" on the net are not the same thing as the creatures we stick on hooks to catch fish. The Blaster Worm of 2008 infected MANY more computers than they would have us believe. It did help us discover that there is a simple firewall in Windows that Bill Gates forgot to tell us about before the worms came calling (why were all PCs not shipped with the firewall up?). That with a few simple clicks we could protect against hackers and other insects from contaminating our computers (at least until the hackers learn to by-pass these features).

OVERWEIGHT?

In 2008 there were MANY simple ways to lose weight offered online. Most of them involved some little known pill. All we had to do was pay the money and pop our fat away. Still, Americans are fatter than ever. I guess maybe they were not charging enough or we were not popping enough of those pills? Perhaps we did not take them correctly?

That's OK. In 2004 we are sure there will be even simpler remedies that become available, and that every nut and his brother will give us a GREAT online deal. Burger King, Pizza Hut, Mickey D's here we come!

FRE*E MONEY & STUFF

It seems that everyone from Bill Gates to Red Lobster was involved in sending us cash or some sort of fre*e gift in 2008. All we had to do is forward the simple email message to everyone in our address book. The more we emailed the better. What a country!

Still waiting on your check and goods? Yeah, that's what we thought.

YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED

How is it that these guys have my card and are planning to charge it so much every month unless I respond and give them my cc details. Can you believe that folks fall for this one?

Remedy for these and other scams (even if they show up in 2004)? =>
