Yahoo Terrors and Advance Fee Fraud
DR. ANTHONY EMMANUEL, who does not know that after a period you need to add a space, thinks that by writing Dr with his name, he will be considered as a credible person. But he is asking you to be a part of a shoddy deal, where his patient has died and he wants your to be a party to stealing the money from the deceased.
It seems that some people have received similar emails for an "advance fee fraud" from dr.anthony_emmanuel@yahoo.fr and emmanuelanthony012@terra.com.pe

Here are some ways to protect yourself from ever evolving forms of SPAMs, SCAMs and FRAUDs.
1. Do online searches.
If an unexpected email is coming from amazon, go to amazon.com and look for their spam warnings. You can also type a company or product name into your favorite search engine, along with words like review, complaint, cheat or scam. Or search for a phrase that describes your situation, like IRS call. You can even search for phone numbers to see if other people have reported them as scams.
2. Spot imposters.
Know your vulnerabilities. When a person is vulnerable, there is an unobstructed entrance or view to the person's heart, being and soul. Scammers often pretend to be someone you trust, you will be ready to open up to, like a government official, a family member, a charity, or a well-known company you do or can or might do business with. Don't send money or give out personal information in response to an unexpected request whether it comes as a letter, text, a phone call, or an email.
3. Dont believe your caller ID.
There have been known cases of company employees using company phones lines to commit frauds. Also, now a days Technology makes it easy for scammers to fake caller ID information, so the name and number you see aren't always real. If someone calls asking for money or personal information, hang up. If you think the caller might be telling the truth, call back to a number you know is genuine for that company and inquire, research, and spend some time. Don't help the fraudsters even if you think it's for a small amount.
4. Dont pay upfront for a promise.
Advance payments are always risky. Try taking an advance form a bank and see how much paper work is required and how long it takes. Someone might ask you to pay in advance for things like debt relief, credit and loan offers, mortgage assistance, or a job or a lottery win. They want all of this to be done in a hurry as these fraudulent offers are quickly closing. They might even say you've won a prize, but first you have to pay taxes or fees. They might invent some impressive jargon. If you do pay an advance without a guarantee, or without conducting a research, know that they will probably take the money and disappear.
5. Consider how you pay.
Credit cards sometimes have significant fraud protection built in, but some payment methods don't. Know and read your terms and conditions. Some credit cards with zero fees might not provide enough protection. Wiring money through services like Western Union or MoneyGram is risky because it's nearly impossible to get your money back. That's also true for reloadable cards like MoneyPak, Reloadit or Vanilla. Government offices and honest companies won't require you to use these payment methods.
6. Talk to someone.
Slow down, check out the story, do an online search, consult an expert or just tell a friend. Ask yourself are you being greedy, looking for a free lunch, trying to make shortcuts in life. Before you give up your money or personal information, talk to someone you trust. Con artists want you to make decisions in a hurry. They might even threaten you.
7. Hang up on robocalls.
Now a days receiving calls might cost you money. These robotic fraudulent phone systems want you to say YES or AGREED to a simple seemingly innocent question, and that triggers the payment metering out of your phone bill. If you answer the phone and hear a recorded sales pitch, hang up instantly. These calls are illegal, and often the products are bogus. Don't press 1 to speak to a person or to be taken off the list. That could lead to more calls and large sums of payments from your phone bill.
8. Be skeptical about free trial offers.
All that seems for free has a hidden cost. We all become a part of a statistic or a study or a large data mine by using free online applications. Companies turn raw data into sellable information, to look for patterns, learn more about their customers and to develop more effective marketing strategies as well as increase sales and cut costs. Some companies use free trials to sign you up for products and bill you every month until you cancel. Before you agree to a free trial, research the company and read the cancellation policy. And always review your monthly statements for charges you don't recognize.
9. Dont deposit a check and wire money back.
By law, banks must make funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake check can take weeks. If a check you deposit turns out to be a fake, you're responsible for repaying the bank.
10. Read articles on how to create spam or scam or ponsi schemes Not to create spam or a scam but to learn how they think, and how they manage to lure us into their tricks.
