that they do trying to scam people and put that into real work they'd be pretty good workers.

I get a solicitation at least once a month that looks like an invoice from an address in Manhattan stating he is an electric supplier. He charges about 15 times what GE does. In fine print on the back of the solicitation it says "this is not an invoice. Once your payment is received, your shipment will be shipped in 12 days"
Well "Oakland Industries", Not many electric suppliers have APARTMENTS in Manhattan you idiot. Atleast get a believable address.

I've noticed a big increase lately in phishing websites. They look almost exactly like other common websites. Make sure before you enter your password or other info that it's legit.

I ran into that problem with my credit union website. I had to cancel my debit card and open up a new checking account. I felt like an idiot. I had heard of phishing emails before, but never this.
