I appreciate the comment! I didn't happen to get that email or even spot it in my Spam folders, but my girlfriend did get it. Luckily, her B.S. radar spotted it and she marked it as Spam right away. It's because of these emails that I don't even click on links within emails that claim to be from my bank. If it's questionable, I'll just open a new window/tab and log into my account using SSL to validate that nothing fishy is going on.. I'm glad you're staying ahead of the game. Hope that B.S. radar stays strong! Hi, Phillip! I appreciate the comment! I didn’t happen to get that email or even spot it in my Spam folders, but my girlfriend did get it.

I too never fell into them. One of my friend got engaged into them. There are many friends around him suggested him not to do that, but he didn't listen to them..... Finally he got the treatment. .....Anyways its nice post..... Thanks & Regards --Naresh Hey thanks Jerry, Most of the times I used to get pesky mails, asking about my personal information.

I must agree with you and thank you for this post! People do need reminding of these scammers! Saying that though a lot of these spammy emails are actually getting much better and more sophisticated! Seem’s these scammers are actually spending some time in writing these of course I still get the not so sophistacated ones from time to time, but as a fellow blogger myself I like to think that I am somewhat savvy when it comes to catching out scammers but even i nearly fell foul to these. Have you seen the new Facebook email that has been doing the rounds today. I just wanted to metion this as it goes under the guise that the users password has been reset and said user is asked to download a zip file that in reality contains a very nasty trojan. thanks for sharing Jerry! -Phillip Dews Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the feedback! I just got back from your blog, having read your article about ATM biometrics. It was very engaging. You certainly have an affinity for all things computer security-related. I'd definitely be down for guest blogging over at your site. Hi, Daniel! Thanks for the feedback! I just got back from your blog, having read your article about ATM biometrics. It was very engaging.
