Identity thieves are out there, waiting to use your own computer to steal your identity from you. Fight back against cyber crime and don't let them take advantage of you. It's time to take your online security into your own hands. It is my hope that by sharing my own experiences with identity thieves and other online predators trying to get my information I will help someone else learn to spot such underhanded tactics before they are taken advantage of.

Oh boy! This is too good to be true!… no, really, it is. This is a scam. I’ve seen a lot of trouble with Western Union, and these guys will end up with your money, not giving you more. And let’s face it, since when have you seen $1.5 million written as “$1.5,000.000.00 thousand dollars” ???

I love that he wants to be sure I know his new e-mail.  ::snort::  I didn’t even know the old one.

The e-mail follows:
