419 ( Nigerian ) Scams

Today , I received an Email supposedly from OBAMA'S FOUNDATION , well enough is enough .
.
I am not going to go into what these scams are , this link will tell you , if you do not already know : Advance-fee fraud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .

This is how they work :

Fake Internet sites appear in search results , most search engine providers have a page or Email address for reporting suspicious results , this is Google :

Now , if this is not enough , feel free to do a reverse Scam . I strongly suggest getting a web based Email account ( Yahoo , Hotmail , etc. ) before starting out . Forward the Scam Email to the new account , rejig the Email to hide the address it had been originally sent to ( which you replace with your new one ) to make it appear that it came directly to your new account . Another warning ; always check their Emails for viruses , particularly in images and attachments . The Reply Address shown in their Email will most likely be forged , so it may be necessary to look at the Header to see the real reply address . The fact that the Scam will only work if there is an address to reply to is the fraudster's great weakness . So reply first and then report the Email to the service provider to have the account shut down ( see http://www.abuse.net/ ) to prevent other recipients replying to it . Don't worry about having it disabled , London to a brick they will be back in touch with another address ( which you will also report when the charade is over ) .
