********************************************************************** Brand new and very effective! Refer Ads! http://www.artbiz2000.com/ReferADS/?r=9 ********************************************************************** Hi, Welcome to Edition 192 of the Scam Alert Newsletter. Current Subscribers 5,009 Please forward each issue of the newsletter to as many people as possible and encourage them to do the same. Please do not reply to this message as I use spam filters. If you want to contact me please use the contact link at the bottom. *********************************************************** Hi, I have issued warnings regarding a number of payment processors in past issues. And in every case my concerns have been justified. So I hope you will trust my judgement yet again regarding another new payment processor. The program in question is called Greenzap. Although I normally include a URL to the program I am covering I will not do so in this case. The reason being is that as soon as the email promoting Greenzap dropped into my mailbox I got a warning message. I run Panda Titanium Internet Security software and the warning stated that the email in question was likely to be a "Phishing" email. Read about Phishing here: http://starprofits.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26&sid=b2b439ec5b356291e7fd586a0face895 Additionally the website is set up through Go Daddy, the preferred host for scammers, as I have mentioned before. I can find no registration details for Greenzap other than that they are hosted through Go Daddy. The website is also unsecure, not hosted on a secure server. A definite No No for payment processors of any kind. Don't be tempted by the $25.00 sign up fee, in order to get it you will have to give these people your name, address, telephone number and bank details. If a complete stranger came up to you in the street and asked you for this information would you give it to him or her? Of course not, yet people are still willing to give this information to complete strangers on the internet when they are promised cash in return. There are a stack of emails from program owners in my mailbox promoting this crap. Will they never learn? I bet they never read past the line that says "We will give you $25.00 just for signing up". Why would they give you $25.00? Remember Golden Rule No 1, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is! Regards, Ken. ********************************************************* Useful websites: http://www.consumer.gov/sentinel/ http://www.starprofits.com/forum/ http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp http://www.bigclassaction.com http://www.pyramidschemealert.org/news/newsindex.htm http://www.spamabuse.org/ http://www.econsumer.gov/english/index.html http://www.ftc.gov/ http://www.fraudsandscams.com/pyramids.htm http://www.web-police.org/ http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/ http://www.fraud.org/info/contactnfic.htm http://scambusters.org/ http://www.benedelman.org/ *********************************************************** Please ask your friends to subscribe to the newsletter.
