Yet another phishing mail in my mailbox. This time from an actual real person. A person that had its cyber identity high jacked by cyber criminals. I called this person and informed it. It said it was aware and that it had already noticed its accounts getting high jacked since the passwords were changed.
The cyber criminals now have a new technique, I was informed. They delete all contacts when they have sent out the mail begging for money with a made up fictional story. So perhaps you need to think about saving your contacts offline. Just an idea. This person couldn’t mail all friends and tell them that it was a phishing mail. The person however informed people on its Facebook wall. Hence I don’t have Facebook, nor will I get, I don’t get such messages.
However it is suspicious when someone asks for money in a mail. The story in the mail is the usual with a person being “abroad”. I am tired of the cyber criminals not trying to earn money by honesty instead. Why cannot the real beggars ask for money in their own name. If they are poor, why not give their own story on a YouTube-channel or so? Of course, they are not poor, they are criminals feeding off other people’s money in a dishonest way.
Bad people. Just saying.
