Get Rid of Phishing Scams

Almost everyday, I receive e-mails such as this:

Good day my dear friend,

I assumed you are in good health with your family.

 I am Mr.Ele Ibrahim the Director in charge of Auditing section  Group Bank Of Africa (BOA) Burkina Faso I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($13.2 million immediately to your account.

 I will send to you the full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will receive 40% of the above mentioned amount if you agree to help me execute this business.

Thanks

Mr.Ele Ibrahim

This is clearly just another phishing scam.  Receiving them does not anymore annoy me. I just mark these e-mails as Phishing Scams. But out of the millions of people who receive e-mails like this, there might be one or two who fall into these scams.

If you are receiving phishing scams on your Hotmail account, just choose the messages by ticking the box beside them and click "Mark As" then "Phishing Scam". This will delete the messages automatically and, at the same time, report these messages to MSN.

For your Yahoo! accounts, just choose the messages and click "SPAM".

Always beware of these e-mails. Never reply to them.
