Before I start off the reblogging week, I’m going to share a few of email scams I’ve received recently at AFK Gamer … and these are perfect examples of why crime doesn’t pay: the best and the brightest aren’t being recruited into the criminal career paths like, say, petrochemical engineering or intellectual property law.
Little background, I have an email addy here at AFK Gamer (foton-at-afkgamer.com), plus a billion other email addys for work, personal, google mail, bla bla, just like everyone else. OBVIOUSLY, I don’t use the Foton mail for anything other than reblog business like spreading rumors and gossip or thanking anonymous gaming employees for hate mail. (Tip: don’t send the hate mail from your employer’s registered IP, ya idgit.)
I’m not using the Foton mail for Ebay or PayPal or my game accounts or refinancing my home. (Who would?) This finer point doesn’t deter the wannabe phishers.
