Spam scam targets foundation

by Aldo Nahed
There are millionaires in Nigeria who want to transfer abusurd amounts of money into your bank account. Right?
Emails like this flood my inbox on a daily basis (the latest is an e-greeting scam). I feel bad for those who really believe they won a "lottery prize," given that they've never entered anything.
The latest scam is one that claims to be from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It's going around the internet, translated into many languages. These emails, according to the foundation, often include their logo, photos, links, or other information snatched right out of their Web site.
The Federal Trade Commission is where you report these kinds of fraudulent email www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/spam/report.html.
Pass this information along so we can end inbox spam.
