Scams

It is no news that the internet is full of scam, sites that want your credit card number for stuff you don't need are the ones to watch out for. They are certainly getting more and more sophisticated. I've been surfing the net since 1997s and this is the best one that I have come across so far: www.bidfun.com.au. The deals are too good to be true, and one can spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on buying "bidding dollars" - while the company pockets all your hard earn cash.

Last week I also received an e-mail from a friend's hotmail account, stating he got a new Apple ibook from a website, it's much cheaper and it's genuine.. blah blah blah. It was so real that I e-mail the friend back and say I must have a look at his new toy soon, only to find out it was a scam! His account probably got hacked.

Just watch out guys. For more info see www.scamwatch.gov.au
