In the past two or three days my email has been plagued with Nigerian scams, ATM card scams, so and so is dying and you are their heir scams, and a new one today allegedly from the FBI! It says I was involved in an illegal Nigerian transaction (which I wasn't) and that they took an ATM card, blah blah blah, which in turn they would send me 8 million dollars, etc, you know the drill. Wow. If it were from the FBI, they wouldn't be emailing me, they would be knocking on my door!
Anyway, remember sweeping and winning is fun, but don't let your guard down for nothing! There's lots of scammers out there, so keep track of the contests you are entering!
Oh and there is an identity theft scam out there that I just came across too. I got an email from Bank of America, the logo is even on the email, and it states that there have been illegal attempts at accessing my account and to verify the account to click on a link. I don't have an acount with them, and if you get an email from a bank you are not a customer with, DELETE IT! If you get an alert from your bank, still don't respond to the email and call your bank to verify the message.
Good luck and have a great day!
