This one is quite ingenious and will make you think. Don't fall for it !

Then I thought I would take a sticky beak

...and another sticky beak

Next to the click here is a drop down menu which shows google's response.

DO NOT CLICK ON 'CLICK HERE' EVER!

I have not taken this one further. Generally I do send these to the people who deal with hoax/malicious emails, but I get so many I have better things to do but I can warn you.

Here is a post on how you find out where they come from if you are interested.

Fun with Scams

DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT!

Nice work seeing this one. thanks, buddy.

Keeping us informed, Mike. thanks.

Those crooks are getting more and more cunning, thanks for the warning Michael

They are, Loes, no sooner have we worked out one scam there's another on the horizon.

It seems like they do sometimes have success

Thanks for the heads up.

I want to keep us safe, John.

Good looking out my friend. Don't open any emails from Nigerian princes either.

Awww! But they always want to give me millions of dollars. They never seem to remember my name, address and credit card details so I have to send it to them every time. These princes seem to be very forgetful.

Oh no....Maybe we should offer them some ginkgo biloba for their memory disorders. Poor little guys!

What a great idea, this is a job for the pigeons, they'll be so happy.

Yes, the pigeons do need some exercise. Plus they get rather daggy if you leave them cooped up for too long :)

Your new best word "daggy?" Lol !

LOL! I am a bit like a puppy in a room full of squirrels. Give me five minutes and I'm sure to find something new and more interesting.

Thanks Michael :)

You can never be too careful online, Chrissie, thanks!

Too right Michael :)

Thanks Michael. When in doubt, leave out.

Absolutely, Stephen. The thing is it depends on what you have done on the web (like renewing a payment) then somehow they manage to hack into your message and send one immediately proclaiming to be from the same site and if you are a bit tired that's when the mistake happens not when you are sharp and alert. Luckily you can get money refunded if it's a fraudulent transaction.

I get hundreds of spam messages in my Microsoft Outlook email.
I don't get any spam in Gmail.
Having been 'educated' years ago not to use Gmail for business, I have recently relented, and enjoy the freedom!

I don't use outlook only Gmail, Yahoo and my own personal website email. Most scams I get are at work. Personal ones are usually through the marketing companies when you have done reviews and the hackers get your email from there.

True Michael. They send me receipts and all sorts of stuff. I delete them immediately. They are are nuisance.

They are a nuisance, Valerie. The nice thing about WA is we look out for each other.

Yes, we do Michael. And that is very nice :)

Since I went from outlook to Gmail I shed a million spam fleas.

Most email scams I deal with are from work. This one came through my personal email, which hardly happens but they take on a more personal touch by knowing my name and address. They usually get that if you belong to any marketing groups

Thank you for the info, Michael!
Mike

My pleasure, Mike, we need to keep each other safe.

Absolutely!

Many thanks for the heads up, Michael.
It doesn't surprise me at all, always more around the corner.
So sad and despicable.
Many thanks, cheers, Tosh :)

It is sad, Tosh, but we have to keep our eyes peeled.

Thanks for the warning Michael. I generally go through and delete anything that's not from wealthy affiliate. Lol

So you have no friends? Or you have friends that don't know how to email? They still write you letters long hand? LOL !

Texting took over. And I have no friends...lol.

What would we do without texting? Stop being so modest, you probably have friends popping out of the woodwork.

Sorry but those termites aren't my friends.

ROFL!
