One of the tricks I teach is to look for anything that looks too juicy. Those kids don´t know how to be subtle, There´s a common scan running wild down here where the scammer claims by email the user made a purchase of CDs, HT hardware and other stuff, and the amount will be withdrawed from his account if no further action is taken. Problem is: It´s a truckload of cash, 99,9% of the population DON´T have such amount of money in their bank accounts. People react better and faster to small nisuances. Claim a $4,00 monthly fee from a popular website and everyone will click the "cancel" button. But well, those scammers can´t even spell or find a real job, why should they know about social engineering? On Wed, 30 Aug 2006 09:36:31 -0500 Paul Schmehl <pauls () utdallas edu> wrote:

That way all the boobs and rubes will believe it's actually true. After all, they *already* believe the fake news that's published there.
