- Get link
- Other Apps
Like anyone who uses e-mail, we have all received some sort of spam at some time. There are different types, the kind that tries to get you to open a link or file in order to install a virus. And there is this kind, the kind that tries to direct you a site that looks legit but in reality if phishing for personal information.
The thing that amazes me about this, besides the obvious spelling and grammar errors, is that people must actually fall for this stuff. If they didn’t make some money from some people at some point in time, people like me wouldn’t receive these kinds of e-mails.
So look kid, grandma, or whoever else falls for this; nothing is free, no one is going to offer you something for free on the internet, and never open a link in an e-mail unless it’s from someone you know, and even then be cautious.
