I’ve a email address which I posted during commenting on a blog, now I made a mistake that blog didn’t require the email address but I still gave it…what it did was it made my email address public. And that page attracted quite a lot spam, ever since then I’ve received hundreds of spam emails in my inbox, some are claiming that they’re from Africa and are bank managers…have got millions of dollars bank a/c access and wants to share it with me…some emails are pretending to be from paypal asking for my personal information… One advice is that these spams are there to stay! We all have to be smart enough to not become victims of that. I personally prefer two email accounts, one solely personal or work keeping it safe from all the websites apart from some good ones and other for registering on blogs, subscribing to them or on forums where I’ve to register etc so my personal email address remains safe from all the spams. Because accept it or not…some of the forums or blog subscribers may give out your email address to spamme And yes, I forgot to share my own personal experience.

In Russia now distributed the following method of deception. On the phone the victim send sms with a request to ring at the number listed, because with any relative of the trouble occurred. The man calls back to the specified number, and the call is charged, and very expensive. Trickster said indistinctly, incoherently, thus increasing the cost of the call.

I remember getting a scam mail sometime back from a Nigerian Queen saying that she wants to give away all her amassed wealth to me in return for my details. The mail even had pictures attached along showing a native village just to prove that it is genuine. Many people fall for these scam mails in the greed for easy money online, but what one must understand is that there is no "easy" money or "freebies" out there for you for just reading mails.

I believe many people still become the victims of phishing, all they need to do is to completely avoid following links from emails which require you to login and another thing you guys can do is to see at the location bar of your browser, where it's pointing to. If it's a login page of facebook for example (I don't remember the login page so it's an example) : facebook.com/login.php then it's fine but if its thisisanexample.com/facebook/login.php looking identical to Facebook's login page then it'll raise eyebrows. Also public computers or shared computers may have KEYLOGGERS installed which will track everything you type so it's another factor to consider. And keep your computer safe by installing antivirus and FIREWALL (it's in CAPS because not many people realize that antivirus can only remove the viruses but FIREWALL actually blocks viruses or any other hacker entering into your system, firewalls may be annoying for a new user using but it's really good and can be beneficial because it asks for your approval everytime there's an activity in your PC involving Internet for instance whether you want to allow your browser to access Internet etc). And yes...choose a strong password please! Not like your birthdate or your office location etc. I believe we all are missing two or three points here discussing security issues, first up your friend has to make sure that he wasn’t a phishing victim, which like he would have got an email looking like his best friend’s email address, he followed the link in it asking for his mail login details to access or anything like that, that would have sent the password to the hacker.

It's getting scary how much more advanced the scammers are getting. It was easy to spot these things before when they were obviously fake and the spelling/language were a giveaway (i am ambassador to Nigerian Prince, i must wire you 65,324,120$ immediately!) But now with more advanced hacking techniques and grammatical language it's getting much harder to spot the scams. I often find myself checking the email headers and image locations even on legitimate emails just in case. .-= Josh@Storage Allentown´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.obriens-moving.com/new-jersey-movers.aspx" rel="nofollow">New Jersey Movers</a> =-.

Not only was the hacker posing as your friend and answering his mails but he/she was also trying to rip off his friends. I am sure that those friends will not take kindly to him once they realize that they have been scammed. Also how come your friend did not realize that his mail was hacked? And it's also very scary that the hackers are way more advanced than the security that we are receiving for using e-mails etc. One of the best ways to prevent this is to frequently change passwords and other login info. And also try to switch to a dedicated server or mail. Thanks for bringing this up as a warning. That is a scary story.
