There are 5 commonly known classifications of Email Scams:
- Advance Fee Fraud: Payment is required to "release" a much larger amount that is held by a third party. There are no "millions".
- Lottery Scams: A payment is required to get your huge unsolicited lottery winnings transferred into your country/bank account. There are no "winnings". Ask yourself "Did I even enter a lottery?"
- Phishing: Official looking emails from large Internet banks and online services (PayPal, eBay, South Trust, US Bank etc.). These email scams always ask you to "confirm" account information such as credit card number, user name, password and pin number. This information is used by or sold to criminals. Shop Shield® inspects all emails for phishing.
- Auction Scams: Basic auction email scams almost always use eBay online auctions to take your money or your property by subverting standard auction procedures. Be wary of "Second Chance Offers" on auctions you did not win!
- Employment Scams: Employment is offered in return for processing international payments. A certified check is then paid into your bank account; you deduct your "commission" and forward the rest. The check turns out to be fake and/or you get prosecuted for Money Laundering!
What is Pharming then? - Pharming is the redirection of a http (web site) request from one web site to a spoof web site under a hacker's control. This is sometimes done via email scams to make these claims look authentic, but mainly to collect login and account information (especially to online banks).
