Isn't it time that internet providers took responsibility for these online scams. They are quick to shut down people who speak the truth, but it seems liars and criminals are free to do what they like. I received an e-mail from these scammers and told them so. They did their best to try and convince that any prizes would be sent from Guinness Brewery Ireland but I had to the delivery charge to an account in Turkey. Sick of the elderly and infirm being ripped off by these muggers, but I feel that internet providers are just as guilty by letting this happen. They claim that they have the technology to shut them down but I see little evidence of this being so. I'm in my seventies but praise be to God I still have my faculties about me to see when a scam is just that, a scam. Don't know how many times I've had e-mails from the tax man saying that I've paid to much tax or from the TV licencing saying my direct debit was declined and to set up my account again via this communication. I don't have a licence and never had so no need for a direct debit to be set up.
Take care out there and don't be fooled by the scammers, if in doubt contact who it is supposed to be from by reporting as a spoof or phishing e-mail, rather be safe than sorry.
