Venditoris: Beware of Scams

Too Good To be True?

Of course it is. It’s a scam hook email of the Lottery type, an offshoot of the Nigerian Letter except you won something! (NOT!!)

Just send them your info and they’ll likely try to scam you out of your resources.

Don’t fall for these crappy scam letters and emails. Assert yourself. Rate them as spam in your email filter, or post a new one here to share with others so they won’t be duped as easily as a three ear old, or just plan DELETE ASAP!

(By the way, I never heard of a Great British pound, unless they really meant Dog Pound.. so dumb, must have been written by an illiterate.)
