SecurePCNews Goes Undercover to Expose a Scam

SecurePCNews has alerted you to many internet scams over the past months. We've uncovered Nigerian, Lottery, Phishing and Identify Theft scams and helped you protect yourself. Now we've taken our alerts one step further.

We recently went 'undercover' to expose an internet scam. This time the fraudsters were posing as a woman with $5,500,000 dollars who needed a helping hand. In return for help she was going to give away 30% of her money. This is typical of a Nigerian Scam.

SecurePCNews posed as a would be good-samaritan eager to help a woman in distress. Quickly, our good-samaritan finds out that this generous gift of 30% has strings attached and will cost him up front. But in the process maybe he also makes a romantic connection.
