Email scammers are sending out even more mail this year compared to last year in view of the weaker economic situation. They figure that with the tough days ahead, people would be more susceptible into clicking on links that come in the email, some claiming that these recipients have won an obscene amount of money in an unheard of lottery draw, some claiming that a long lost now dead relative has left an inheritance of an equally obscene sum.
And then there are the kinds of scam mail which phish for sensitive information of financial websites, including PayPal and eBay. Even though I have mentioned time and again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I would like to remind everyone that it's never too careful to be alert at all times and never click on links on emails even if they may be from people that we know.
The fact that scammers continue to send out scam emails mean that there are still people getting caught due to negligence, greed or whatever. That’s why it is important for us to regularly remind each other to watch out what lands in our inbox.
