Spam emails to look out for

Hi again Folks

I want to give people here at WA a heads-up on spam emails that may hit our website email accounts from time to time.

Now that we have our websites up and running, we will probably have an email account or two set up, specifically for our websites.....something like

contact@ourwebsite.com

support@ourwebsite.com and so on and so forth.

So we are cannon fodder for these spammers and also for online bots that trawl the internet for newly published email accounts.

I am no different to anyone else and have recieved a share of these since I set up my own emails early on last year. Last month another of these beauties landed in my inbox and it really looked the part...it promised me x y and z etc etc. There is an old saying that goes something like " If it looks to be good to be true, then it probably is"

It promised me monetary rewards if I would let some of their customers and clients publish their material on my website.

All I had to do was send them a Paypal invoice and I would get paid within 24-48 hrs.

BOOM....they now had access to my Paypal a/c and would then probably hack my account for bank and credit card details etc etc.

Needless to say, I didnt respond or neither did I click on any of the links that they included in their email.

I have enclosed a screenshot of the email, so you will see how professional and cunning these artists are. As I say, it's just a quick post for all here at WA, both new and existing members that we need to be on our guard at all times.

Cheers and best wishes

PB
