Hacker born every minute
SCAMS are the hardest security threat to protect against because they rely on exploiting naivety rather than technical flaws.
Always be suspicious of emails, faxes, text messages, instant messages and even phone calls from people you don't know. Anything that sounds too good to be true probably is.
You didn't really win a huge prize in a foreign lottery, get a massive unexpected tax return or inherit millions of dollars from a long-lost relative. A Nigerian businessman doesn't need your help to smuggle money or gold. Your potential online Russian bride doesn't need money for her mother's operation. Your bank will never send you an email asking you to change your password or confirm your account.
