Spam Alert: Moronica8885551212 Has Asked You a Question on Fanbox!

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

It looks like an innocent enough e-mail, someone has asked you a question on fanbox, click here to view the question.

Of course, if you don't read the rest of the message...

Moronica8885551212 asked you a question. View the question and answer it.

FanBox.com is the web-based desktop that instantly turns every computer into your computer. It includes over 10,000 web applications and games to choose from, including the Question It application.

This email was sent by Moronica8885551212 while using the Question It application on FanBox. Go here to learn more or stop receiving emails from friends using Question It. FanBox: 255 G Street #723, San Diego, CA 92101, USA

While you may, or may not, know Moronica, she didn't send the message. See that part about "...instantly turns every computer into your computer"? That is the key - if you click on Moronica's question (which will be something like "Do you like gerbils?") your desktop just became everyone else's desktop and you're in a world of hurt.

Do yourself a favor - delete the stupid thing. Whatever you do, DO NOT click on the link and DO NOT contact them to ask them to stop sending you this crap - that just opens the flood gates for more.

No, I was smart enough to delete it, but obviously, Moronica wasn't.

It is like all of the other crap that's out there, only dangerous. "Moron"ica???? Hmmmm I know a few people that SHOULD be going by that name, but no one who actually has the name!

Unless it's from a friend, no email is innocent... well, even if it is from a friend, it may be no better... LOL. When in doubt, delete delete delete.

ROFL! I love that picture, Ann!!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I got another message from Moronica again today. Please, don't fall for this spam because I don't need fourteen messages a day, like that one, from you.

 

[chefann]

I have to laugh, because once again several aspects of my life have aligned. On Saturday, DH and I rented the straight-to-video Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score. It's about aliens (the scammer aliens) who take over all the money and assets on earth through spam emails. One message that the professor receives is that he's won the Spanish national lottery. He comments that, "I didn't know that I even had a ticket."Guess what just showed up in my inbox? A message that I have won the Spanish national lottery! Wow! I didn't know I even had a ticket.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

It came with the DVD.

I was having a good day until I got some terrible news, a distant relative that I have over seas has passed away. So Sad, I never even met him. On the plus side after him and his entire family died in a plane crash I am the only person that his lawyer can find that is related. Turns out Uncle whats his name is loaded and left all his money to me!!!

 

[chefann]

Wow! And now they just need to verify your identity by getting your mother's maiden name, your social security number, and your bank account number, right?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

And some "good faith" seed money in an offshore account in the Caribbean somewhere.

 

[slj1229]

how did ya know?? Sounds like a deal, All I have to do is send this attorney $5,000 to help cover his cost, and he will deposit 2.7 mil into my account. (thats why he needs my account number)

Are people REALLY this dumb??

 

[jbdowd0798]

yes unfortunately they are. It is amazing to read about people 'paying' for 'free' money! Wants me to just shake them and go "HELLO!! Anyone in here?" lol

WOW!! You too? I had an uncle pass away under the same circumstances! We better find out what airline that was and remember to never book a flight with them... after all, having at least two crashes that both wipe out an entire family isn't such a great track record.

I told the attorney that he could just deduct his charges BEFORE he sends the money and it would be less work for all of us. Still waiting on his reply... it's been a few years. Maybe he flew on the same airline. Oh well.

Did you know "gullable" is not in the dictionary?

 

[chefann]

Here's a note I just got today from some scammers. All it takes is an eye for standard English to see that it's gotta be phony. No corporation would send out something as poorly written as this. Not to mention, I don't have an account at the institution this claims to be from.

Notice, too, that the security hints one must complete are things that are frequently used as hints, or even passwords. So once these people get that info, they can get into a LOT of your accounts.

Sadly, there are a lot of people out there who fall for these things.
