A very common Internet scam is a camouflage is the one where you are told about your account being checked. The biggest key to this has to do more so with saying Dear Insert Name Member and telling you about your account. Keep in mind however that it is very common and can really fool anyone easily by its appearance. For the scammers, it is like a comedy show and trying to find out who will be the biggest sucker in the bunch.

The way to avoid it is to not click on the links at all. The scammers want your information just to make your life miserable. Why would they do this? I would venture to guess that it has something to do with bitterness in their lives. There could also be the sense of loving to take everyone’s money knowing full well nothing can be done to them assuming they are in another country.

You also another very common scandal is the lottery won from another country. The key for this is asking for your information. Let me ask you something on this one. If you actually won the lottery, wouldn’t you know about it and remember entering for the contest? Why would you need to give out information and do you trust someone easily? To protect yourself from such a thing and using a very simple method would be to not even bother responding in the first place.

My reasoning for such a thing would be if you did not enter those lotteries and the same can be said for items like Ebay, Amazon, or even PayPal being used in the first place. Take it from me as I had seen these appear and looked at them closely. It takes observation and it can help you avoid phishing. No one is immune to receiving these but since they appear in the Junk Mail folders more often than not, sometimes you could actually have Junk Mail deleted right away so you do not receive any in the first place.
