Watch out for fraud

by Johnny Cash on December 05, 2011

Watch out for fraud

Hey everyone,

FanBox is NEVER conducting Lottos.

If you get an email from "FanBox Lotto" or any other Lotto, be sure to:

1) First get a good laugh, that they think they could fool you, then

2) Delete the email

Remember, when anyone reaches out to you with free money, its always a fraud.

But be sure to get a good laugh first! Tongue out

-JC


PS: Here's one version of such fraud:

don't mind them they're all over there! their schemes always include such get-rich-quick gimmicks, women/promise of love/relationship. So dear community members, once see a fanbox profile with zero fans zero or 1 friend, sending you message telling she is dying for you, you should send her an email; she would reply with her pix, blah blah blah, or such as JC shared with us, be sure at mark it as fraud.
Thanks JC for your leadership!

@khaja waheedull, I am glad you're aware of the cookie stuffing thing, my BF is a techy guy and he wrote a post on this subject how they do it. Antivirus isn't enough to control this cookie stuffing thing, Its black-hat and cookie isn't harm when scanned by an antivirus because it doesn't behave maliciously nor is it an executable file.
