STUPID PUNISHMENT!

A man was sentenced to 1,000 years behind bars!!! Isn't that stupidity. The judge could have punished him by imprisonment for life or for any term of years, but not 1,000 years. Where in the world have you ever heard of this jail term! Only in Egypt!

The man was arrested after scamming hundreds of people out of 280 million pounds (around $52 million). He cheated 480 people out of their money over several years. He would promise people that he would invest their money for them and bring them good profits, but he would take the money and disappear. Over the years, he made about 280 million pounds.

Is McDoff getting 1,000 years jail term?

PHISHERS? SPAMMERS? FRAUDSTERS?

Fraudsters stealing identity are on the rise.

I got an email from PayPal informing me that there were three attempts to access my account, but failed because they were using different passwords.

Internet fraudsters known as "phishers", pose as banks, credit card, phone companies, consulting firms, executors, heirs to huge amount of money, advertisers, etc., to extract personal information of unsuspecting users.

Don't be fooled. There are ways to avoid becoming a victim of phishing. If you receive an email claiming to be from your bank, phone company, or from any company asking for personal information, take the following precautions:

• Check the email address it comes from. Phishers trying to pose as a company are unlikely to send email from the company's official email address.
  
• Check for external links. Phishing emails often require you to click a link to make payment or enter personal details. Check where these links take you. They are likely to be pages on third party websites (not the company's domain) that are made to look like the company's website.
• Check phone numbers provided. Phishers will include customer support phone numbers to appear legitimate. Check these numbers. If they are in countries the company's not known to have operations, it could be a case of phishing.
  

Don't fall victim for email phishing scams!
