Top Spam Scams
Balancing Life and Practice
lexisONEsm
The Federal Trade Commission lists the top 12 scams most likely to arrive in your inbox via spam:
1. Business opportunities that turn out to be illegal pyramid schemes.
2. Offering bulk email lists, which turn out to violate the terms of service of most Internet service providers.
3. Chain letters via email are just as bogus as those on paper.
4. Work-at-home schemes that require investment.
5. Health and diet scams whose gimmicks don't work.
6. Effortless income - yeah, wouldn't we all?
7. Free goods for a fee for joining a club - actually a pyramid-scheme variant.
8. Investment opportunities with a high rate of return and no risk. Buy Enron stock instead.
9. Cable descrambler kits that don't work.
10. Guaranteed loans that turn out to be just lists of lenders.
11. Credit repair companies that can't deliver or urge you to commit fraud.
12. Vacation prize promotions that turn out to be captive-audience sales pitches.
The FTC's job is to protect consumers, so if you're being nailed by a particularly egregious spammer or scammer, tell them about it on their Web site.
