One of the great things about blogs is that they traditionally allow people to comment on their content, and provide a neat interactive environment for blog readers and writers.
Well, like everything else in life (I know, I know, you are probably sick of hearing this from me) there is always a generous inventory of idiots [...]
Moments ago I received a nasty new eBay phishing scam message in my e-mail. I wanted to post this right away and try to get the information out there on this scam as soon as possible.
This one claims to be a message from a fellow eBay member called ‘cdaniel’ and makes claims about someone using [...]
I’m always admonishing my readers to set up a “throw-away” e-mail address if they are planning to send any “friendly comments” to spammers or sign up for newsletters or other services on the net that require an e-mail address.
With a throw-away e-mail address, that you can get free from many places like Yahoo! or [...]
If you own any Internet domain names, chances are very good that you have seen one of these letters show up in your mailbox (your “real” mailbox, not e-mail). I have received these letters for many of my domains over the past year or so.
I would not go as far as calling this a scam, [...]
I can see that there is still at least one mentally disturbed spammer out there who continues to fool himself by believing that his pathetic attempts to attack me with e-mail viruses is going to have some effect.
Yesterday I received a fresh batch of e-mail messages with virus-infected attachments. I am also seeing some evidence [...]
Since I’ve been blabbing about work-at-home scams of late, I thought I’d touch on the subject again at least one more time.
I responded to another work-at-home ad on the craigslist.com web site. Again, this one was worded to sound like the person responsible for the ad was actually offering a job. And once again, this [...]
To most Internet users, the word affiliate probably does not mean too terribly much. But whether you know it or not, you’ve been exposed to a lot of affiliate marketing if you spend any time surfing around various web sites.
Like most things in life, there are good things and bad things about affiliate marketing. Some [...]
It appears that the character behind these strange “SPAMIS” spam messages that have been showing up recently is indeed trolling through domain registration records for e-mail addresses as I suspected.
I have received another one of these “SPAMIS” messages on another e-mail address I have used only to register domains, and for no other purpose. That [...]
This week saw the arrival of a run-of-the-mill Bank of America phishing scam and a rather unique eBay phishing scam that I had not seen before.
In addition, I received the expected ration of 419 scams, including unoriginal (and uninspiring) works from “Khalid Ali Hassan” and “Saleem Mohd Ahmed Mohd.”
These, and other fascinating works can be [...]
Not long ago I started receiving what appears to be SPAM e-mail messages from someone claiming to be from an organization called “SPAMIS.”
They were not the typical SPAM messages I receive for penny stocks, Viagra or cheap software. These seemed to be geared more towards some kind of “cause,” which was not adequately explained, other [...]
