They want support from me by me sending them money. They begin the email by explaining to me how bad their life is at this time. Maybe someone needs a surgery and doesn’t have enough money to cover it. Maybe they need assistance to for some other reason, but for a surgery seems to be the most common excuse.

The most recent email I got was supposedly from a leader from a foreign country. They wanted me to respond with my personal information such as my physical address and phone number. From there, they would try to get my social security and bank information. Beware of all of these silly scams that seem to be happening way too often. I cannot believe after all of the stories written and all of the air time that these people get on the news that there are still those that fall for it. They decide that they will support these people told about on the emails by sending them checks and giving them various personal information. Particularly the elderly are targeted since their life savings are at risk.

If you receive emails like this please delete them immediately and be sure to delete your history on your computer. This will destroy any chances of thieves taking your personal information. You need to delete your history after purchasing or paying for something online as well. Ask yourself how these people managed to get your email address. Did you know them from before? Guarantee if you send them an email from another email address that doesn’t have your name you will not get an answer regarding who they are exactly and how you can contact them by phone or in person.

Always be sure to protect yourself from thieves ready to steal from you. Don’t bother with sending money to anyone you don’t know or any supposed company you don’t know. Always make sure to know where your money is going. You work hard for your money and losing it to a thief doesn’t make any sense.
