Dalam email menginformasikan bahwa telah memenangkan dan mendapatkan sejumlah uang dalam jutaan pounds, wow ..tentu pertama saya mengernyitkan dahi, dan berpikir apa iya ?

Sempet setengah percaya, walaupun temen mendorong saya segera saja konfirmasi ke no. telepon yang tersedia. namun insting berkata lain, saya punya langkah pertama searching di forum dan ternyata mendapatkan puluhan penjelasan yang memadai. Terbukti ini adalah Scam, Penipuan…. Ah ah ah.

Untuk rekan-rekan yang barangkali menerima email seperti ini segera forward email ini untuk diinvestigasi di UK-avuse@city.yahoo-inc.com. Dan untuk lebih waspada dan mengetahui apakah berkategori scam ada baiknya mencari diforum ataupun menanyakannya

Sekali kita merespon dengan me-replay informasi pertama yang mereka butuhkan maka seterusnya mereka akan mengirikan email dengan meminta anda melengkapi data-data yang berhubungan dengan personal account bank serta ujung-ujung meminta anda untuk mentransfer sejumlah uang pada mereka.
Hm ada-ada aja. !

Semoga berguna dan Waspadalah
