SCAMS ARE OUT THERE- EVERYWHERE

I can't believe it. So many scams on the internet. Scams are everywhere. Scammer wanting to sell you stuff and steal our identity. Desperate to steal our money from us that they will do anything and everything to do it. They don't care who they hurt or destroy. We receive scam calls from them, in text messaging, in the emails we receive, when we look for jobs, and when we purchase items. We need to be careful of our personal information. There are scammers that are just waiting to attack. They're disguised but work the same way. It is scary and sad that they are people lurking around to take advantage of innocent people. The scammers are looking for people that are trying to find a way out of their current situation. What is this world coming to? We are at the point that we don't know who to trust anymore. We need to protect ourselves from people like that.

FOREVER CHANGING - EMAIL SCAM

My experiences I have received several kinds of email scams but today's email was unexpected. It seems like the scammer are forever changing and they are getting smarter at fooling people. It all started out this afternoon when I checked my email. I went through all my email. I found an email that said my order was completed and my payment was received. Being concerned I opened the email anyway. Remembering that I didn't purchase anything recently. This made me worry so I spoke to my family if they buy that item. The confirmation receipt was from PayPal. So naturally I checked my PayPal account it looked okay. Next I looked at my checking account and that looked okay. I was a little relieved but I was curious.

I was able to find out who made the purchase and from whom. Made a phone call to the company that the item was purchased and I mentioned to them that I didn't purchase anything from them. They told me to look at the ship to address name and they said if it says a lady by the name of Sharon. Responding with a yes and then they told me not to worry about the email that I could delete it. It wasn't a real purchased. The lady has been phishing people that have PayPal accounts. With the information I received I thanked them and I hung up. At this time I was mad and frustrated how could people get away of doing that to other people.

WHAT DOES PHISHING MEAN - HACKING METHOD

The term phishing means a hacker can use a method to gather our personal information. They use deceptive emails. These cyber attacks are over the internet through emails that are disguised to be used as weapon to attack us. The hackers mission is to trick us with phony emails and make us believe that the these emails are something we want, need or a debt they say we owe. There are many ways to trick us. So BEWARE and AWARE.
