OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I WON a new lawn tractor
« on: August 16, 2006, 10:19:20 pm »
And all I got to do is confirm my email address and physical address.Hmm I live in a apartment so where am I suppose to put it. Also live on the second floor so how am I suppose to get it into my apartment, I'm not going to carry it up the stairs.

But I know It's really Punisher industries trying to get me to confirm all that info so they can continue to spam me with new offers and It ain't gonna happen, sorry dude since I moved I don't get as much junk mail as I did when I lived in a house and I like it that way, so keep your lawn tractor, I don't need it or want it. it's probably a piece of junk anyway.

Damn, almost had you.

But seriously. Do you have any outstanding warrants? LOL I'm serious, they often draw in people with outstanding warrants with free giveaways.

The key is this: If you don't remember entering into a contest, then it probably isn't genuine.

Do NOT EVER give anyone your personal banking information, social security number, or other personal information. If you don't remember entering into a contest with a free lawn tractor, then odds are this is a scam. Ignore em if they want you to pay "Sales tax" on the item, or some other charge like shipping and handling. This will be a scam.

One of the newest scams I'm seeing at work are e-mails from people regarding "Confirm invoice billing XXXXXXX" with a whole bunch of numbers.  It's got an attachment to it with a nasty little trojan inside.  It's been fun keeping the workers in my firm from clicking on the attachment...sure it gets caught by the virus checker, but it's still a pain in the ass.


One idiot has done it three times now...

Me:  Do you remember the last time?  What did I tell you?

Him:  Not to open it.

Me:  Then why did you open it?

Him:  I thought it was something else this time...

Me:  What did I tell you to do when a message like this comes across?

Him:  Delete it without opening.

Me: Why didn't you do that?

Him:  I thought it was something juicy about us missing a billing...

Me:  Do you work in accounting?  Is it any business of yours?  Bah! <stomped away>

I hear that. This last month, I've had more Online Banks trying to get my buisness... No way in Hell will I give my personal info out like that... Well except for you guys, but then again, how long... 6-7 years...

Just do what our IT people do when they talk about security. They threaten to pistol whip the users who break security proceedures.

I don't know if they can actually do it, I haven't seen their contract, but considering their pissed off most of the time I don't want to test them.
