"Don't feel bad if you've recently fallen for an e-mail scam. They're not always easy to identify. Just ask FBI Director Robert Mueller. Mueller received an e-mail from his bank asking him to verify some account information. After entering said information, Mueller says he realized that the e-mail was part of a phishing scam. According to CNET News, he immediately changed his passwords and breathed a sigh of relief. "
There's no hope for the rest of us, is there? - DiggAdminStaff, on 10/28/2009, -0/+15***Attention Digg Users***

-Digg - theghostofme, on 10/28/2009, -0/+13You mean that Nigerian prince isn't going to give me the "4,5 milllionz $" ?
*****! - oda1, on 10/28/2009, -1/+13This guy is the FBI Director?
- sexybobo, on 10/28/2009, -0/+11He shouldn't be after that.
- Xtanto, on 10/28/2009, -0/+11I delete all emails as soon as they arrive it is the only way to be sure.
- preppypoof, on 10/27/2009, -2/+12this article is a lot less confusing if you realize that there is no connection between the pictures and the adjacent paragraph.
- Eurynom0s, on 10/28/2009, -2/+100. Don't be a gullible *****. No, you do not win a UK lottery you don't recall entering. No, the prince of Nigeria did not send you an email to help him get his assets out of his war-torn country.
- MLisa, on 10/27/2009, -0/+5Most Digg users are computer savvy. Many of you have grown up with the Internet. Not so for older users. Some have taken no classes. Example: emails you receive with all the addresses showing and subject line reading Fwd, Fwd, Fwd.... When you receive one of these from your Aunt Ida or Uncle Harry you should realize those are the people who will be targets of email scams. You can help protect them by sending them the link to this article.

Of course, you may be reluctant to click on a link in Digg comments. (I often am.) Spread the word about spammers and scammers. *Try to get the older generation to at least use the Bcc in their email. That would be a start. - mattmacneil, on 10/28/2009, -0/+4the most useful tip to most people who lack common sense is that, not including the Lottery, NOBODY IS GIVING OUT FREE MONEY.
- worldgate989, on 10/28/2009, -0/+4-1. Stop being greedy.
- asgardshill, on 10/28/2009, -0/+4The ironic thing is that Mueller's name appears in a lot of the Nigerian scam emails I receive as well.
- captininsanity, on 10/28/2009, -0/+4How about treating online stuff with the same if not more skepticism that you would use for deals offline or on tv...
- geoken, on 10/28/2009, -0/+315. Receipt of a DHL package you don't remember ordering is typically not dependent on you running some executable file.
- handy7390, on 10/28/2009, -0/+3How does this ***** keep making it on Digg? Ban this SOB.
- Karagoose, on 10/28/2009, -0/+3Here, I'll just give you my IP address and you can do a backward search for all my info. It will be faster and more effective.

SSN: 827-18-6022 - rolf, on 10/28/2009, -0/+2A way to spot any scam anywhere:
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
And if any doubts remain, google it first, you're probably not the first one targeted and someone did a review/write_up of it already. - aforsberg, on 10/28/2009, -1/+3If you get a message from someone you don't know, or that nobody you know knows, ignore it and report it as spam.
Watch for telltale signs of the sender not speaking English very well.
Don't be a dumb *****. - Riggs28, on 10/28/2009, -0/+2username: ipee

- iopasd, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1I wish I was allowed to make this required reading for my users...
- kaosethema, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1like i told my mom when she started browsing the internet:
if it's too good to be true then it's probably a scam. - Turious, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1"Got a message from the 419..."
- bugaloobob, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1Isn't this info about 5 years old?
- MattBD, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1The other day I got a spam email about some supposed business opportunity. Interestingly, I was one of a long list of recipients, alongside Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
At least I'm in illustrious company... - SeanRoss, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1People still read email?
- chargerland, on 10/29/2009, -0/+111. if it's in your spam folder
- oda1, on 10/28/2009, -0/+111. If it's someone offering you, a random stranger, millions of dollars.

- GalacticRerun, on 10/28/2009, -1/+2You're right! It's a scam article! I bet they ask to leave your credit card information in the comments!
- spoonchucks, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1Rule: {

FTFY - wpf999, on 10/28/2009, -0/+013. Reside in Gmail Spam.
- verdecove, on 10/28/2009, -0/+0I hate getting spam mails from a forum I once posted a thread. The forum owner claims he has nothing to do with it. The sender address is the forum notification to subscribers. Someone used my posted thread to add some spam to it, at least that's what the forum owner says. Is this the new rule? I ask for an webdesign advice in a forum and receive emails with the notification of anew replay on my post plus an hidden add for lots and lots of pharma products. (add was only visible after scrolling but therefor it was a lot...really a lot!)
- wodzki, on 10/28/2009, -2/+1You put this a little bit to late for me.
About a year ago my computer crashed and it cost me $5000 in repairs. - consig1iere, on 10/28/2009, -1/+0Anyone who asks you your Name and your Ph# and your Address is a scammer. Even if they are your parents suffering from Alzheimer.
- Goddesspower978, on 10/28/2009, -3/+0Thanks for the info! Love, Goddess
