If you put your number ANYWHERE companies can sell your number for money.
Oooh that seems "fun!" Haha joking. Well my friend got an email from this lady. She claimed that she was from a refugee camp in Libya. Except she had an UK email like .uk. Then she she said that she has 1 million dollars to give to someone trustworthy. Then she tried to ask for pictures of my friend. After that I told her it was a scam. Later on she would ask even more personal stuff probably. Somethings were wrong though with the lady's "lan." The Email address, also if she has 1 million dollars why can't she arrange a way to get out of the camp! Also how does a refugee camp have internet! She said she was using a laptop? So what do you think? (You=All of AG!)
Oh ace, total scam. I see a lot of that on Judge Judy (Lulz, i totally don't watch that show -rolls eyes) Where they're able to totally rip the person off.
Sad thing is, someone lonely and in "Save the world" mode would fall for it.
I forgot to write there: the scam works by the person asking can they transfer this great sum of money into this persons bank account, the person agrees and gives the internet their bank details and gets all their money stolen.

I got them to but then like every week and I googled it once (1st time and of course it was false). And I think they are just weak trying to earn some money this way.
Haha I know. But my friend didn't, so I had to explain to her the dangers of getting scammed.

Seems like a happy ending after all! Haha

Most of time for money. But won't peopple eventually trace down the person, or the company that sends thousands of scams out each and every day?
Restaurants that take your credit card can just get the numbers off of it and do whatever with it, or at least thats what i think they do(>_> all ik is never give da restaurant ur credit card
Yeah if people r gonna scam they could put some time into it. Ace, I said it was a random woman in libia who was trying to give 1 million dollars to ur friend, who is a complete random person to this "woman"? Yup it doesn't look like a scam lol
I've never been scammed, but I almost have. Last year I got a pop up requesting for my personal information because I had a virus, but the pop up itself was a virus after I did some investigating.

Then where should you ever use a credit card if you're too paranoid to trust any business with it?

Not true. I have worked in restaurants in six different countries and stealing someones creditcard information was rather impossible. Everywhere needs the customer to enter their pin, minus America. Although, what happens behind the scenes of an American restaurant in regard to credit cards isn't all that exciting. They get swiped and a receipt gets printed, there is a customer receipt and a restaurant receipt which needs to be signed. If you managed to get away from your supervisor and other colleagues for long enough to write down the credit card - what would you do with it if you didn't have experience? Nothing really you could do. Even if you did, your name will be on the receipt of last transaction, so when the person queries why their money is missing or why someone is shopping with their card, you will be the first investigated.
Someone I knew were almost robbed. A man in a suit and tie came to their house and said he needed to check the fire alarms. What fool would wear a suit for that? My acquaintance wasn't sure, but her dog, who usually didn't give a whiff about strangers, started barking like mad at the man. At that point, the woman knew he was lying, and sent him packing.
