Spammers have a nice running scam that promises you the chance to make some money. These can offer you things like legitimate sounding jobs, and products. Some of them even have the nerve to ask you in the email itself for your credit card numbers etc. Even a spam assassin would have a hard time filtering through all of them so you'll need to be heads up to the different money making scams:
Internet survey jobs are just telling you that you can make some money by filling out surveys online. Of course they never tell you that you have to pay a certain amount of money in order to get a list of the legitimate companies that will pay you. Before they even give you that amount of information, you are asked to fill out a registration form, and then your emails from these people will never stop.
Online typing jobs offers you the chance to type files etc. and receive payment per word or page. Some even offer to pay you by the hour. Ask yourself this; how will they know how long you've been online?
Everyone has heard of the emails that offer you to get paid just to surf the internet. According to them, you can get paid to go to any website that you want. What they don't tell you is that you have to allow your computer to be hacked into first.
These are extremely annoying because everyone seems to get these spam scams on a daily basis. These offer to let you receive a payday advance through your email. All they ask is that you give them your banking information like your account numbers etc. I can't imagine anybody being stupid enough to give that information, but many still do. These mails tell you that they need this information so that they can send you your money and also get theirs back later. (Let's just see if you have any money once they are finished)
Some of these warnings may sound repetitive to you, but they are mentioned for a reason. Each and every piece of spam that is sent to your inbox is there to entice you into buying something, or tricks to hack into you computer. They are worth mentioning more than once. You can never be too careful and the deeper you can imbed these ideas into your head the better so you can be your own spam assassin.
