Scam Warnings.

if no menu use the Sitemap Here.

In this section I give warnings on scams and general nasties that are out to trap the unwary.

Here is a useful page about Your E-Mail Responsibility written by Duane Alan Hahn. It covers how to deal with emailing groups of people, forwarding e-mails and dealing with chain e-mails. Good, sensible advice.

Here is a good site with useful, practical and trustworthy information on identity theft, Internet scams, credit card fraud, phishing, lottery scams and more, plus how to stop spam: Scambusters.org (it's an American site but the scammers are world wide!). There tend to be a few "announcements" (adverts) before the actual articles, but they have to pay the bills somehow!
