Common Internet Scams
Scammers and fraudsters are constantly evolving their techniques. When one version of a scam gets noticed by security companies, the scammers will develop a new one. One of the most common internet scams is email spoofing, or email scams. This is where the scammers will send you emails pretending to be a reputable company such as Microsoft. They will try to get you to click the links in the email, or download some kind of program. NEVER click links in an email unless you are sure you know where the email came from (such as a family member or friend). Always check the “from” part of the address line to make sure it is somebody you know.
