Microsoft, Yahoo In Alliance To Combat Lottery Scams

Microsoft, Yahoo In Alliance To Combat Lottery Scams
Quote:
Microsoft and Yahoo have formed a group with two other partners to give law enforcement a hand in stopping bogus lottery scams and educating Internet surfers.

Microsoft and Yahoo have seen increasing amounts of e-mail using their brand names to convince unwitting users they've won a lottery. The scammers then instruct victims to pay fees in order to collect their winnings, a scam known as advance fee fraud.

Joining those companies is the African Development Bank, whose brand is also abused, and Western Union, whose wire transfer services are frequently used in the scams.

Ya know, none of this would ever be a problem if people would always quit looking for a "magic fix" or a "get rich quick" program. If everyone in the world just realized that you cannot really get anywhere without hard work there wouldn't be a need for energy and resources to be wasted on this type of alliance.

Any how, glad to see that at least someone is doing something since it has become a problem.
