The poll results say that 93% know email scams, yet the indepth survey showed that over half DON'T.  That's how you end up with an idiot, criminal President.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jacob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2007 4:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jacob, you are the real asshole in this story.

One of these dudes sent me a check. I took it  to a bank who reported that it was phony. I also tried to contact by phone an address in Texas, but the address did not exist. But this sort of scam is not the most dangerous one: the really bad dudes are those who are pretending to be eBay and Amazon.com. They email you, saying that there is a serious problem with your account and provide you with a link. You click on the link, and it takes you to a site that looks exactly like Amazon.com or ebay.com. And then the site asks for your name and password to enter. Guess what happens when you put in your password. You have just given these crooks the means to get into your real Amazon or eBay account. So gang, never click onto a link from inside your email. Close out your email, and approach Amazon or ebay from the outside.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[adrian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2007 6:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</guid><description><![CDATA[The main problem with these scams is that they are in fact working. The people who are being affected are the ones who are taken for a ride in real life as well. I happen to be one of these people who almost got scammed. I now have a mail security system that stops all these mails before they get to my inbox. It costs nothing compared to the cost of a scam. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 4:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</guid><description><![CDATA[it is no surprise to me , about half the people i meet are too stupid to be breeding and need to get OUT of the gene pool]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/majority-of-americans-cant-spot-an-e-mail-scam/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't know about Jacob's family tree, but I do know that we have an idiot, criminal president.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[watcher]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 4:52PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
