Knowledge gained at wealthy affiliate saved me from being swindled $980

Three days ago, I received an email letter from the so called HALLMARK SECURITY in the United Kingdom. It was in connection with “my business partner to be” who was a sergeant in the US Army assigned to a peace-keeping mission in Afghanistan. She told me her name was KARLA NAVIS, but she was using an email address for KARLA NEVINS. She said that she wanted to go into partnership with me and her tool kit was deposited under HALLMARK ASSOCIATION. She said that she was too busy with the operations in the desert of Afghanistan and wanted me to send $980 for HALLMARK ASSOCIATION to send a person to my home address to deliver a trunk.

However, due to the excellent training offered at WA where we are advised to research deeply into anything costing above $100, I discovered that the Karla Navis on Facebook was of Indian origin and that Karla Nevins’ name was just used and she might be a genuine US soldier.

Secondly, both physical addresses given to me in Afghanistan and London, UK do not exist. So beware of impostors and scammers. Indeed, the training at Wealthy Affiliate rocks!

Hey Joseph,
I'll bet the $50 to be a premium member doesn't seem so bad as you just save 1 1/2 years of payments.

Thank you for reminding us to be wary on the internet. The internet world is full of wolf disguised as lamb. It is good that we all remain vigilant.

Great reminder post! I can't emphasize enough to closely review the email addresses of friends, family and colleagues. Sometimes they get hacked. If you ever get a strange email from an acquaintance that usually doesn't contact you in such manner ....watch out!

You are right, Mike. We need to scrutinize some suspicious looking emails. Good afternoon.
Joseph
