Nigerian Scammers Target UNFPA !

THIS IS A SCREEN SHOT of the email i recieved ,

this user is claiming to be one of the UNFPA Team members , and claiming that i won 1.850.000.00 Dollars !

BUT HE DON`T EVEN KNOW MY NAME !

AIM of these e-mails:

when somebody responds and asks to claim his dollars , the Nigerian scammer asks for a valid bank account number to send the money to .

then he sends a first small transfer to check the account validity .. now the victim thinks he really won !

the scammer asks the victim to re-send this money to him , so he can send his big reward !!

and ... BLOW !

now the scammer had money from a stolen bank account , by transfering to the victim`s account , the victim sent him CLEAN MONEY !

BEWARE OF SUCH ATTACKS , You Will Be Responsible For Stealing Money From The Other Victim , Until You Prove You Were A Victim Too !

Weakness Of Spammers !

Every Strong Web Have weakness , Every Strong Web Spider Have Weakness !

YOUR ONLINE SECURITY

- Delete All old shopping emails or bank statements in your inbox .

- Never Leave Registeration Confirmation e-mails which contain passwords !!

Bank Fraud And Identity Theft !

Identity Theft :

Name , Address , Driver License Number , Social Security Number , Date Of Birth , MMN ... This is what it takes to Enroll in BillMeLater supported shopping sites and " Preferred Accounts - Store CreditCards "
