More advanced scammers / spammers.
I have various email accounts. One open that recives much spam. I do not open these, but today I made an exception.
1. Email Spam (nothing new there).
Subject: "Please confirm address for check delivery"
Message:
You have been selected to receive guaranteed cash.*
All you need to do is answer a few easy questions.*
Follow the internet address below to get your cash:
Link here.
Confirm address or credit card number? I clicked the link to see what it was. Seemingly OK website.
This offer was brought to you by GuaranteedCashRewards dot com
2. Telephone from a person that talked about investment.
Telephone from a US citizen (his dialect did not sound US English to me) operating from Japan. He told about a good investment opportunity and asked if he could send me an email with the prospect and I should take a look at their internet site.
The prospect seemed professional, but the internet site did not checking it with DNSstuff.
Today I should get a telephone from a man from Germany that had visited China regarding the prospect. I do not mention name, company or website since there is 0.00017 % probability that it is not fraud.
The new procedure is:
Telephone call + email + new telephone call.
Advice:
Do not invest based on email information, information in chat rooms or phoned to you.
