Email scams are becoming more and more popular with crooks because of the ease in which they can extort and/or trick innocent people out of their savings without getting up from their computer or leaving the comfort of their home.
 
Computer users are encouraged to update their security software from time to time and be mindful of the spam that routinely appears in their email in-box. Needless to say, never click on an email link unless you know who is sending the link. And even then, think twice.
 
You probably already know about the scammers who send realistic-looking documents claiming to be a representative of your bank or credit union or even the IRS. Sometimes they tell you there is a problem with your account that needs immediate attention, sometimes they tell you there is money in your account you don’t know about. But they always want you to send them information about yourself, or they want you to click on a link they have provided.
 
Then there are the scammers who want to give you millions of dollars if you will help them get billions out of another country or a foreign bank. Scammers have also use phony E-Bay account updates sent out to thousands of people, even though many of the people who receive them have never used E-Bay before and do not have accounts there. Again, they want your info or they want you to click on a link they provide.
