Email Scam Information Introductory Post

This blog serves as an email scam information resource to educate new Internet users about the common email scams and SPAM (i.e. unsolicted email - not to be confused with the tastey processed ham food in a can) used today to lure the unsuspecting Internet victims into providing their personal information to criminals participating in Internet fraud.

The goal of the content posted to the Email Scam Information blog is to expose common email scams used to perpetrate identity theft and bank fraud scams targeting new unsuspecting potential victims coming online each and every day. Hopefully you find this resource before falling victim to Internet fraud acheived by email scams delivered as spam.

The overarching principle when dealing with spam email is that if you don't know the source and did not request the information, DO NOT PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION OR OPEN/SAVE ANY ATTACHMENTS - UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Posts to this blog will include real example emails that are sent to a real business email that was no doubt captured by one of the email capture programs available used to aggregate email addresses for the purposes of SPAM (i.e. unsolicited email), which in many cases, is sent illegally.

Comments and active participation are both encouraged. This includes sharing example emails and even more valuable, examples of situations where you were or know of a victim of an email scam. We are doomed to suffer repeat failure unless we learn from our [collective] mistakes!
