My spam box is such a nasty place!
Since I started with my online marketing website and of course investigating all these so called money making opportunities it is amazing to see how my spam has increased and all the scams that come in are just plain scary.
The "Top Secrets" revealed and the emails saying I have already made money somewhere... all I have to do is click here and confirm my email address for payment or even scarier confirm my mobile number.
Gold tickets and my email address has even won the lottery in so many countries it is unbelievable... especially since I don't play the lotto.
A while back there was a huge number of emails coming through with "invoices attached" when I know exactly who I owe money to and what for. There are no invoices that should be emailed to me.
Please be careful peepz, there are so many ways that you can be scammed - don't get hooked in by those secrets, golden tickets and payments that are coming in.
Just remember that these days all it takes is for you to just click on that email and you could be screwed! Rather delete any suspicious emails without opening them.

Thanks for this. I get this these 'things' as well. I don't even open that email, as it may signal that my email address is live and I will get hit again. I always delete these things and do Not open them. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, so many scam emails after subscribing for newsletters or joining some free programs... we really have to be careful.
Thanks, Gerlinde
Great advice and always worth a reminder. The difficulty is the way these spammers become more sophisticated. A state of constant alert seems to be necessary nowadays.
Totally and I think that is the big problem. I used to work in accounts for a company and I processed invoices amounting to millions each month. I got invoices emailed to me all day every day, and yes often from companies I had never even heard of. There would be no way for me then to ascertain which emails I should open and which would be dodgy.
I only have a few bills every month and nothing much changes so it is very obvious now.

Very good advice. I don't open any spam unless I know how it is from. Thanks, Deanna
