What is Email Scam and Email Fraud?

Email scam is an unsolicited email that claims the prospect of a bargain or something for nothing. Some scam messages ask for business, others invite victims to a website with a detailed pitch.

After gaining your email without your consent, (Note that sometimes Identity Thieves initially and scammers pretend to be oversea friends and trick you into sending them your email address over Facebook) they will send you a greeting email in just a period of a day. Trust me you will love the introductory email, and at the end, they will trigger you to reply by saying. “How about you my beloved one, I would like to hear your story now that you know mine”

Given that you have provided your story and now you know something about each other. This identity thief will continue to tell you about his or her work and claims that there is a lot she wants to share with you. They are always single, divorced, or never married, there is no scammer who is dating or in a relationship.

While you proceed with your attachment, sharing photos here and there. It will take up to two good weeks before she comes up with a story that will hype your heart beating rate. Now that you trust her a bit, she will present a smart deal, nearly like those acted in movies. There is one that almost freaked me out.  “As I told you, I work with the USA navy team, but on our rescue mission we found a box of money under the sea and no one knows about it………. blah blah blah blah”

Another one, “Hey beloved one, I sent you a package since you are my friend………. Pay the DHL shipping fee in order to get your package” There is always a third party who claims to be a certain pastor in Togo, of course, “Pastor” is a word we associate with honesty, trustworthy, and transparency.

The story must end at the point where the pastor requests for the DHL fee, which you must send before your package, or wherever it reaches your country. Dare to send that money. You are a gone case; perhaps if someone can send the package, they can as well pay the DHL fee.

How do they get your email address?

Email addresses are one of the private contact details entitled to everyone who has an official duty somewhere, say a student, a lecturer, business person, and so forth. Perhaps each of us needs an email address where your Facebook sign up details are sent, online transaction confirmation messages from those who transact online either with PayPal, WorldRemit, or Payoneer.

It is such an important detail of you and an easy pipe through which your customers reach you, email accounts are displayed everywhere on your wall, company websites, Facebook pages as part of the contact details, and to a more sophisticated ground on online dating sites.

Identity thieves either through fraud companies or individuals own accounts on every social sites or dating sites, they always check other people’s accounts for email addresses to which they forward greeting messages and afterward trick them into sending them money.

Beware of these early warning signs:

Someone you have never met in person asks for money to get out of a bad situation or to provide a service.

He or she asks you to send money via Western Union.

The scammer has incredibly bad luck–often getting into car crashes, arrested, mugged, beaten, or hospitalized — usually all within the course of a couple of months. They often claim that their key family members (parents and siblings) are dead. Sometimes, the scammer claims to have an accompanying child overseas who is very sick or has been in an accident.

The scammer claims to be a native-born U.S. citizen but uses poor grammar or strange spelling indicative of a non-native English speaker.

They contacted you online – often through, social media, internet dating, or employment sites.

Photographs that the scammer sends of “him/herself” show a very attractive person. The photo appears to have been taken at a professional modeling agency or photographic studio.

The scammer may also provide an image that looks like a valid U.S. Passport but has been digitally altered.

The scammer claims that you have won a lottery you never entered or inherited money from someone you’ve never met or heard of.
