We've been hearing about that a lot from a few of our clients over the past
2 months or so. I don't know what is going on, but it is scary as hell
because people are so naive when it comes to computers. The TV stations
need to be warning people about these scams that are going on now. In other
countries they are starting businesses whose business models involve
scamming people. Think back to the 1920's and how bad the mafia was back
then. That's what 75% of the world is going through right now, except this
time they have technology at their disposal.
