Scams have been around since who knows when and for how long. They keep on popping out like wild fire,and they always hit the elderly mostly.
they first started with pyramids schemes and worked there way up to where they are up to now..
They love to prey on mostly the elderly there scams are done by phone telling them that they are a relative,asking them to send them money for an emergency and mean while they have know clue who they really are.
Phishing scams are on the rise sending out emails to people and saying that they are,Phishing site are sites that look like real site but are not

Dear ebay member we need for you to log into your account and up date your info.
