We found a nice breakdown of the top 10 internet scams on switched.com. These are general descriptions of the types of scams being used.

You can read the article by clicking here.


Remember, the best thing you can do is to delete the email if you don't know the sender. And if the sender APPEARS to be from a company you deal with, you are better off to delete the email and go to your vendors website or call directly to determine if the email was real or not. In most cases you will be told the email is spam or a phishing scheme. Also, in many cases the vendor will give you a spoof@____.com address to forward the email to.
