Anyone who falls for phishing scams – which usually are pretty obvious should you take 5 seconds and read the e-mail – almost, sorta deserves what they get.

I’m not a big fan of Microsoft but I feel that Google had become to big for its own good (and ours) competition is good for all. Let the Search Engine Game begin!

Well that explains why a Nigerian appeared in one of my recent videos explaining that he had money he needed to transfer to the US.

I’m not suprised, the partnership program is what tore the community in two, the partners spam themselves and that’s how they got noticed, and everyone else gets buried, there are allot I mean allot og honest users who are very good with it,
but will never be seen, and the channels, it’s the video that makes youtube money, the channels should be the same, that’s why I say, youtube is a crime wave waiting to happen, if it already isn’t

Really interesting things. I never thought that google can require personal information for me, in some of their projects. Quite strange in my eyes.
It is good to know, that such thing can happen

It’s a numbers game, all you need it that 1% who fall for it and it somehow generates enough profits to cover the costs of the scam.

People always feel guilty if they informed by clever scammers regarding a problem that involves them.
Either by email or over the phone it is in our nature to always be helpful to concerned informers.

In regards to Phishing Scammers, a lot more needs to done by both ISP’ S and Web Companies to target these Scumbags.
The Law Enforcers also need to target these maggots a lot more by launching a Big Media Campaign against all Cyber Pests.

A minimum jail term of 20 years should be given to any Scumbag that uses the Global Web for any criminal purposes.

I honestly don’t understand how these emails work, however uneducated of an email user you are; It’s like someone calling on the phone and asking for your credit card details because they’re from your bank, it doesn’t happen.
