Online Fraud



there has been a spike in online fraud, resulting in the raiding of 2 million americans' bank accounts within the last year. much of this has been attributed to 'phishing'. criminals send fake emails posing as employees of companies offering financial services to entice people into emailing back their online account information. this follows a series of people who fell for the nigerian email scam.

the sheer number of idiots in the world never ceases to amaze me. there's a sucker born every second.
