Email Scam Finally Nails One
As anyone with an email account knows, everyday you receive emails about getting a check from Bill Gates if you forward the email on, job offers that pay high but only require US citizenship and a computer or someone in Nigeria (maybe even a relative!) who just needs a little help to make you super rich.
And just when you thought everyone was aware and cautious of these scams – this lady blew almost $400,000 trying to prove a point. The first instinct it to feel bad for her but when she was advised to stop, she became obsessed with getting paid. Plus, she probably ruined her marriage or at least did some irreparable harm in the process.
Common sense should tell you – be very weary of anything that seems to good to be true, especially via email. And don’t let your pride get the best of your bank account or you’ll end up like Janella – now unable to retire.
