Then there are the web sites which look good but are stolen pieces of other web sites to make them look official.

Be aware also of ICQ messages and also spam E-mail that looks better than it is.

Remember if you did not physically enter a lottery then you did not win it!!!

As for bank information. Remember that all bank information is either done by mail or via your internal message service on internet banking it does not come via normal E-mail. Any changes that are required for any banking is always done online or by mail. NOT BY NORMAL E-MAIL

If you are not certain ask your local bank first it only takes a phone call.

ICQ SCAMS INCLUDE asking or offering jobs as agents in other countries. Then the main objective in these is you collect money that will probably be laundered or stolen from someone else’s account and you send it on to their agent in either Athens, Beirut, Ukraine, Russia, Slovenia, and many other countries via western Union. The main reason they say western union is due to what they call limited banking practice in their country.

Watch out for these recruitment ones as they do look good and the web sites are professionally designed but hold no value.

The web sites themselves are usually made up of other web sites stolen sections of various ones then put together to make them look legit but they are not.

Then there are the usual variety of Nigerian scams which have progressed to a variety of other types from helping move money from China, Holland, UK and even USA. Again they are large amounts and promise the world but will only ever cost you money. And you WILL end up out of pocket!

Other nastiness to look for are the E-mail scam offering jobs such as representatives of some firm or other and they range from technology companies to plane ordinary everyday mineral companies. All of which are fake as these corporations don’t need representatives in other countries like the E-mails claim and also you get paid a salary not a commission. They use names of real web sites but are in no way associated with them.

Also E-mails from fake lawyers saying you have been left some money.. Fake again as how do they know they have the real person and if it was real you would more than likely be contacted in other ways...

Anything that asks you to send on cash once you get it and you take 10% or whatever via western union or other ways is always a scam.

Watch out also for fake checks from so called business dealings from so called business men who want you to cash the check send on moneys from clients and you have to do it within 5 days and when 5 days is up they report the check as stolen and the banks will blame you for the problem as you put the check into your account.

And remember that all banks do send open emails for account verification and user/password checks those are all done on an internal basis if at all!

Paypal,ebay and other such sites also will never get you to authenticate anything in an open email.

Here is a good hint.

When you click a link and you end up at a web site watch for anything different like the http address at the bottom left of the browser or say something like http://get.paypal.com/signin.etc etc.. (The point here is the scam part is always after the two // or after the www. but before the actual duplicated web site address. If in doubt send us the link and we can let you know for free.
