Venditoris: Beware of Scams

Reminds me of the Nigerian Letter scam, except it comes from the Philippines.

Same hook though, “I’ll help you help me get some FREE money”, the traditional appeal to greed. (And no one will know. Yeah!)

Darn.

Even the the Orient is getting into the email scam business. What’s going to happen when the Chinese and Indian economies provides millions more crooks access to email?

We need Net wide filters to stop spamming from scammers like this.
