I, for one, feel very bad for the people who have been scammed out of their money. Many are older or not as computer savvy or not well-versed in English or naive for some other reason. I realize that this world is full of people who do not have even food to eat, but stealing is not the right answer to solve anything. In my book, theives are very close to murderers, in ethics. I don't just blame the theives. I blame a system who created a society where we have so much theivery. And, we are not even safe in broad day light shopping at Target. A lady was just assaulted the other day here. It seems the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and every where you go, you have to look over your shoulder. Well, anyway, here is another attempt to steal money from innocent people.

Oh, I know, some of you are going to cite the Delorian defense, saying people who fall for this are greedy and deserve it. Well, in some instances that might be true. But, this email I got does not promise any million dollar pay days, so it doesn't apply. Now, i would not be getting these emails if the scheme did not work. I still have an awfully hard time believing people fall for them. But, it seems the con artists are getting smarter now by offering us a job. I always get a kick out of emails like this that have bad grammar and/or sentence structure, misspelled words. Hey, kids, that is why it pays to do well in english and spelling and not just depend on spell check, so you can identify things that are not authentic...because you can bet that a good number of young people fall for these emails.

I ended up looking at their website. Coveniently, it's not in English. I tried to translate it with an online translator, it wouldn't translate it. A box came up that said this website is trying to access information that could put your computer at risk, do you want to continue? A big NO on that one! I think people who try to defraud people with fake companies like this one and send out these emails should serve hard time in prison. It is wrong to hurt your fellow human. Our own government sells us down the river and rips us off daily, but it doesn't make it acceptable, and once in a while they make an example out of one and throw them in the big house. Ok, some will say, what about Robin Hood. Well, maybe it does take something like that to point out how some people are living high off the hog while others are starving. But, our society didn't change, so guess that didn't really work well in the long run. Anyway, I am so tired of spam, especially those that are designed to steal money from me out of my bank account. I heard that one of the biggest spammers in history got arrested a while back:

Robert Alan Soloway, 27 year old, the world’s biggest e-mail spammer is arrested for mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, identity theft and money laundering.

Soloway’s used malicious software, which infected whole network of computers. Then the computers, so called ‘zombies’ start sending spam e-mails, but the computer owners don’t have any idea about what’s going with their computers. So the companies get spammers reputation unfairly.
