A few tips to avoid Internet SPAM:
Avoid displaying your email address in public spaces, including newsgroup postings or chat rooms, (Including Perspectives forum profile) on websites, or in an online service’s membership directory.
Check a website’s privacy policy before submitting your email address. Make sure the website doesn’t plan to sell your address. If possible, “opt out” of any such plans.
Read and understand website forms before you transmit personal information. If possible, select the “opt-out” choice if the website plans to share your information.
Create two email addresses – one for personal messages and the other for public use, such as in newsgroups or chat rooms. Or, consider a disposable email address service; it creates a separate email address that forwards your email to your permanent address. If the disposable address begins to receive spam, you can shut if off without affecting the permanent address.
Create a unique email address. Spammers often use “dictionary attacks” to sort through possible name combinations at large Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or email services to find valid addresses. So a common name, like “joe public,” may get more spam than a unique name, like “jp51x02oe.”
Use an email filter. Some email accounts provide a tool to filter out potential spam or channel it to a bulk email folder. You may want to ask whether this option is available when choosing an ISP.
Report the spam to the ISP – yours and the sender’s. Often the email address is “abuse@[your ISP’s name].com” or postmaster@[your ISP’s name].com. The ISP may be able to stop further spam.

For Ex-Pat: British Consulates in Spain have been made aware of a number of complaints about lottery scams (Spammers). Victims receive what appears to be official notification by phone, fax letter or email that they have won the Spanish lottery and are required to deposit an amount of money in a bank account to secure their winnings, which are normally supposedly very substantial. The notification purports to issue from the Spanish Inland Revenue office (Hacienda) or from the Spanish Lottery Authority (Loterias y Apuestas del Estado).
The British Consul General in Madrid, Michael John Holloway said, "If you have received any suspicious correspondence of this kind or you believe you might be a victim of this scam, please check with the nearest British consular post in Spain and inform the Spanish Police. In the UK, inform the Office of Fair Trading and alternatively the Spanish Embassy in London."
A number of people in the UK have lost considerable sums of money to this fraud and we want to raise awareness and prevent it happening again".
Three tips to help spot these scams:
• If you haven't played the Spanish Lottery then you should always assume that you haven't won. Always be suspicious of gratuitous winnings, no one gives anything for free.
• The telephone number given as contact is always a Spanish mobile (these start with a 6 in the same way as UK mobiles start with a 07). No official body would give out a mobile number to call them back to check anything. Spanish landlines always start with a 9. Therefore, a contact number for Spain will begin with the international code (00) followed by the country code (34) and in the case of a mobile number 6xx xxx xxx or a land line 9xx xxx xxx .
• The notification usually requires the winner to pay a deposit of funds in lieu of tax on their supposed winnings. Tax is usually deducted at source if tax is payable on any winnings in Spain, therefore no one is required to make a down payment.
Spanish Police have already arrested and charged some members of groups operating from Spain..![[eyeroll]](/forums/themes/default/sarcasm.gif) Last edited on Tue Mar 4th, 2008 04:57 pm by JP

Notice the 'double doors'? (easy access for Ambulance stretchers/Undertakers) you will also see a white bowl within the flowers, for those people who realise (loose all bodily functions) they won't make it to the 'rest'-room..! I believe KC & Lynne have used this bowl the last time they visited this old restaurant for a free meal/coffee on the house. (Est. Apr 13th, 2005) KC, missed the bowl if I recall..![[grin]](/forums/themes/default/grinning-smiley-007.gif) the stain is still where he left it. (I put a rug over the spot to take the picture..
The moral of this story: FREE is a Four![[star]](/forums/themes/default/usarmy.gif) word.. just like S.P.A.M.

This is an example of how these dirty Lotto Spammers are operating.. and why they make it look like you 'of all people' have won! REMEMBER! you never purchased a lotto ticket & you don't live in Spain.. but you have won 6 million euro's!?!
RE:AWARD NOTIFICATION LA PRIMITIVA LOTTERY PROMOTIONS PROGRAM held (on date). Due to the mix up of numbers and names, the names were later released on (date). Your name was entered and a alternative number attached to Batch number: 000spam0001 & You drew the lucky numbers..............

Just saw this on the board and thought I would post it since this is spam
My name is Kelly Gibbs and I'm writing this email to help my sister's boyfriend Scott out. Scott quit his job in December and has become quite a political activist lately. His passionate focus is campaigning for John McCain in southern california and on the internet 40-50 hours per week. I know he doesn't agree with everything McCain stands for, but he can't bear seeing a democrat in the white house. We all know it will be a very close race. We all know how important this election is. I know Scott has been talking about going back to work because his savings account is running low. My idea is to keep him on the campaign trail and allow us, his fellow Americans (who don't want a democrat in the white house) to cover his basic needs.
If each person can pledge just $3.00 into his paypal account, I have a feeling he can stay aggressive with his efforts, and help Save us all from Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton.
I believe in karma. I truly believe that if we can all do our little part, karma will be on our side and McCain will take victory.
I'm asking you to take your Starbucks money for one day and inspire one man to help lead McCain to the white house. Thanks and enjoy your day--Kelly

UK Perspective: To an internet fraudster an identity is worth £80, suggests research from the UK's Get Safe Online campaign. The same study revealed that in 2008 23% of net users fell victim to phishing attacks - far higher than the 8% it claims were caught out in 2007.
Small wonder that Britain has been described as being in the midst of a cyber crimewave. Here the BBC offers some advice about how to stay safe online.
How bad is identity fraud?
In 2006, a government estimate put the cost of ID theft at £1.7bn a year. In 2007 Cifas - the UK's fraud prevention service - helped more than 65,000 victims of ID fraud and theft.
Fraudsters use personal details to gain access to bank accounts, run up bills, launder money, create false documents such as passports or birth certificates and carry out benefit fraud.
The consequences can be very distressing and a headache for victims to sort out.
While you will not normally be liable for the stolen money, credit reference agency Equifax estimates it can take up to 300 hours to resolve one case.
My bank has sent me an e-mail, asking me to update security details - what should I do?
Ignore it and delete it.If you receive an e-mail purporting to be from your bank or credit card provider which asks you to update your details, it is very likely to be a "phishing" scam.
Anyone falling for the scam will let fraudsters can gain access to their bank accounts or use them to launder money.
It is important to remember that your bank will never ask for your log in and password by e-mail. Many explicitly say so on their banking websites - after all the bank already has these details and does not need them. By contrast the fraudsters do not have them and want them.
If in doubt, call the bank.
I've got an e-mail from a friend with an attachment but it's not the type of message they usually send. What should I do?
Ignore it and delete it. Many hi-tech criminals still use e-mail to try to catch people out. Many of the messages they send play on current events or subjects of prurient interest to get people opening them up.
The attachment could well be booby-trapped with a malicious program that aims to infiltrate your computer and lie in wait to gather data when you visit an online bank or login to an online game.
If you are not sure most anti-virus programs allow users to scan attachments and other documents before opening them. However, this check is not infallible because there are so many viruses and variants now in circulation.
The vast majority of security threats are aimed at Microsoft's Windows and its other programs. Advice from security firms is to ensure that, if you use Microsoft software, ensure it is updated as soon as security fixes are available. Some advise users to consider using non-Microsoft programs for web browsing, e-mail and other day-to-day tasks.
Am I safe if I avoid sites dealing in pornography, pirated media, cracks for games and gambling?
Not necessarily. It used to be the case that anyone visiting such sites was at far greater risk of falling victim to an attack. However, in recent months hi-tech criminals have put a lot of effort into subverting popular sites with a good reputation.
Scammers often inject booby-trapped adverts onto such sites or get at the website code to install malicious programs that infect every visitor.
Web users can reduce the chance of being caught out by making sure they use the latest version of their web browser of choice and using security software that keeps an eye on them while they browse.
A pop-up advert tells me that my computer is riddled with spyware. What should I do?
Ignore the advert and close the pop-up page. Many scammers are turning to fake tools that warn about non-existent problems on a PC.
At best when installed these machines will nag users until they pay for some useless security software. At worst they will be completely fake and simply steal saleable data. It is better to stick with one security software suite than it is to get bits and bobs from here and there.
How can I safeguard my personal documents?
Although the rise of ID fraud is very alarming, there are steps you can take to try to protect yourself.Carelessly discarding personal details is an easy way to become a victim.
Criminal gangs have been known to employ homeless people to search through rubbish bins for financial records and identity documents.
The number one tip from experts is that all documents containing personal information and financial transactions should be either ripped up or shredded before they are thrown out.
Destroying evidence should also extend to direct mailings or any documentation that contains your name and address, experts advise.
Electric shredders can be purchased for as little as £15 and can help take some of the hassle out of destroying documents.
How can I keep my passwords safe?
Experts urge people not to write down their passwords and pin numbers and not to disclose them to anyone.
They also suggest people should steer clear of using obvious passwords, such as a mother's maiden name or date of birth.
Some security firms offer programs known as a "password safe", which let users keep a secure record of important logins on their computer.
It is also worth using what is known as a "strong" password. This is one that is not easily guessed or would take a long time for a computer to work out. Instead of being words it could be a random combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
What if I am a victim?
Act quickly and notify the credit provider straight away. It is also important to report it as a crime to the police and request a crime number.
Industry body Cifas advises victims to keep a record of everything, as recovering from identity theft can be a long and complicated process.
Cifas also advises all letters should be sent by recorded or special delivery and for people to keep track of how much time they spend dealing with the problem.
Victims of identity fraud or people who are concerned they could become a victim because they have had important documents stolen, can apply for extra protection through Cifas' Protective Registration Service.
