‘It’s surprising how many people fall for online fraud’

Baino that is the very reason I wrote this post. The other half was only a moan.

It’s surprising how many people fall for online fraud though. Even the accountant at work transferred $9000 to a bogus bank site because she didn’t realise it was a scam. I’m continually warning clients not to give away their account details, many are elderley and just don’t understand that a PIN is top secret!

Sorry about the tax thing, we have four tax tiers here at $6,000 - $25,000 taxed at 15cents per dollar, $25,001 - $75,000 taxed at 30 cents per dollar, $75,001-$150,000 taxed at 40 cents per dollar (I’m in the lower end of this one) and above $150,000 taxed at 45 cents. Ah well, I look at it as my contribution to social welfare and politicians junkets.

WWW the scams are everywhere. I am very careful. I posted this example to perhaps help others.

These scams even come from the banks now GM, and try and look authentic with the logos, etc. Of course they are only out to get the passwords and stuff their - Nigerian? -pockets.
And so many fools fall for it. I saw a documentary on them, very intelligent people too.

Dorothy this scam was rather obvious since the ‘To’ line of the address was left empty!

Steph ~ Saturday was a good day so! Have you any voice left?

Gary ~ they are mini business cards available online. You design your own with picture on front and usual info on the back - no more than 5 lines. If I can make then then anyone can.

They do cards and holders etc. http://www.moo.com/

Tell me more about the moo cards, I’ve noticed a blog nearby that promotes their creation by artistic types but they all seem to be just cigarette cards with old photos stuck to them - am I missing something ?
