Delete China
Have you received an official email urging donations to China earthquake relief funds, conveniently processed by PayPal? DELETE! The FBI reports the latest email scam targets the generosity of Americans who want to help Chinese earthquake victims.
The messages look very legitimate, as most e-scams do, including exact logos of PayPal and other trusted sites. Clicking on these links will redirect you to the crook's fraudulent cyber front, where you'll enter your PayPal info or other financial data to their delight.
The FBI advises the usual preventative measures for avoiding this email scam, such as deleting mail from unknown senders and never opening mysterious attachments, no matter how official they seem. Full story.
Spread the word to your network and make sure no one you care about gets taken advantage of.
