419 scammers using Dilbert.com

Yet another reason to check those emails thoroughly, even if this is a late warning. Not all scammers are tech retards and stuck to using yahoo (or other free email services) these days -

Scammers too, know Dilbert.

On their way to search for clean IPs through which to send out yet another scam email, 419 con-artists (Mrs Sharon Goetz Massey) have recently started using Dilbert.com’s recommendation feature in an attempt to bypass anti-spam filters — and it works. The use of Dilbert.com’s clean IP reputation comes a month after 419 scammers used the same tactic on NYTimes.com ‘email this’ feature.

Need to see if that bank or business is real? Try checking here (banks & some companies) or here (companies) and please ask if you are still uncertain as many scammers impersonate legitimate & legal companies. Also, Google© is your friend.

Think you're a victim of identity theft? Thoroughly read this!!!
