    Fraud Mail Conclusion

    Posted by Paulus T on Nov 23rd, 2007

    Nov 23

    Actually, I received not only those mails I post before. In a day, minimum I got 2 of these kind of mail. But their content are typically the same. So I just choose some example to show here.

    And the conclusion we got here is, don’t trust too much for email you received from someone you don’t even heard before. In case you receive this kind of email from someone you know, always pay attention to the content. Don’t be shy to call the one you know own the mail address to verify the email you received. It could be that their email have been hijacked by some phisher. (At next post I will show you how the phishing work, and how to identify phishing)

    These criminals usually try to touch your kindness, and/or your greedy side. Be realistic, something that sound too good to be true, most of the time is in fact too good to be true.

    Here we can see, they were claiming as some national lottery from country like United Kingdom, Australia or other country. But there were something missing or something were not right. One big flaw that tell us that these are fraud, is the email address they use.
    Why would a UK National Lottery have to use an email from “India Times” ? Or why would a Spanish Lotto have to use free email address from excite.com and aim.com ?
