Secured Hotmail?

Here’s the latest scam to make it past the spam filter and into my inbox. Note that this alleged executor who doesn’t know your name and doesn’t tell you who he represents wishes you to write to him at a “secure” e-mail address…which turns out to be a Hotmail address!

You’d have to be pretty gullible to fall for this, but presumably if you are reading this, you’re gullible but just smart enough to do a bit of research. Here’s my advice to you: this is a scam, and all such e-mails are scams. Don’t fall for it!

Another scam I heard about recently is trickier. There is apparently a phone scam, where they call and ask why you didn’t report for jury duty. When you say you were never notified, they ask for personal information to verify who you are. That’s a scam too. They don’t need your social security number to look up whether you were called for jury duty. Just tell them to send you a copy of the letter again. Give them a fax number if you think they might be legit. But don’t give out your social security number!
