id="more-35"></span></p><p>First thing, when you get this kind of e-mail, is to delete it. If you open it the chances to be a victim of <strong>email fraud</strong> are growing. If you opened the spam message, you will read a great/good offer that doesn&#8217;t exist. Next step is to look at the sender details. First, you will see a legitimate e-mail sender, but if you look at the headers of the e-mail you can see an ip or hostname that hasn&#8217;t no link with the legitimate company/person. If you have discovered a fake ip the problem is solved: <strong>IT IS A FRAUD ATTEMPT</strong>.</p><p>70% of the scams that are online have a single purpose and that is to steal your bank account information and your credit card or debit card information. When you receive e-mails which are asking you to reveal personal  information, please report it. You don&#8217;t know how or where? Read <a
title="report fraud scam" href="http://www.avoid-fraud.com/fraud/2008/12/12/report-fraud/" target="_blank">here</a> . After you report the <strong>fraud attempt</strong>, delete the message. Always you must remember that companies like PayPal or banks DON&#8217;T ASK YOU PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE YOUR ACCOUNT/CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD INFORMATION.</p><p>I hope this information is usefull for all the people who are reading.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.avoid-fraud.com/e-mail-fraud/2008/12/12/tips-to-avoid-e-mail-fraud/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
