How you don’t step into the trap of spam mails

So you received an email, trying to convince you to do business with some Nigerian company? It sounds like a junk mail and there are millions promised to you??? They require absolute confidence???

Are you sure this is respectable business???

Well, we are not!!! But find out yourself….

Step 1: Use  http://www.google.com/ to search for “business, Nigeria and spam” for example- you will be enlightened of the results

Or look up the name of the company and the person, which is offering the transfer

 Step 2: Stay critical and keep on searching, there is more to find:

http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article/0,,3_552021,00.html: article which will enlighten you about the work of defrauders, who operate via email and informs you about cases in which people actually fell victim to them.

 How Nigeria deals with the topic of spam emails:

http://www.ngex.com/business/biz/scam/default.htm: The Central Bank of Nigeria expresses concern but underlines: We will not bear any responsibility and there are legal ways of business in their country. Besides, more typical defraud email are displayed.

 It always good to get together some hard facts about the country you want to do business with: http://usembassy.state.gov/nigeria/wwwhcnig.html 

http://www.aspiringwriters.net/scams.htm : Here you can help listing email addresses of the deceivers. Cooperate with the US secret service

 So you see, although the Internet offers the possibility to the deceivers to spread their defraud, it too helps enlightening  people about the risk of the spam mails coming from countries like Nigeria. The fact that the country is known as one of the most corruptive ones in the whole world, should be reason enough to gather some information before transferring money.
