Comments on: Phishing, e-mail money laundering scams on the rise

Security experts say they're detecting a marked increase in online scams amid the economic downturn.

Firefox and IE didn't block Facebook for me.

Two things I feel strongly about:

1. People who are stupid enough to fall for these scams and "get-rich-quick" schemes don't deserve to keep their jobs. =P

2. Scammers and spammers are the ones who should get caught and severely punished, not casual music piraters. If the scams somehow involved the RIAA...they'd be sought out and fined outrageous sums of money, as a lesson to others like them. *sigh*

Anyone who is caught running these scams needs to be hung by the neck until dead. Maybe that will send a message to the punks.

This is security consultant BS, I grow so tired of these people that do not know what they are talking about. Most of these offerings are either a check cashing scam (FRAUD) or most common Gambling payout assistance.

I dont know how to report a money laundering scam but I do want to put the word out there about the company called design concepts. The lady "Jane Lucas" tried to offer me job after she got my resume off of careerbuilder.com. She offered me 4000 per month to open a business bank account and make transfers. I never started it because I had a lawyer take a look at it and she said it doesnt sound good. But I am so UPSET! I am a college senior looking for a job and she said I would be a entry level financial manager. I cant believe she was really going to take advantage of me like that! Her number is 347 756 4003. SHE IS A LIAR! And I am sure that is not her real name! I am so glad I didnt fall for it. but there are many who many get sucked into it. I want the goverment to do something and block these people. I wish I could call someone to report it but I dont know who to turn to! Watch out! her email is [e-mail] I want her to get caught by the authorities because what they are doing is WRONG! I am just starting to get out in the real world and this is what i have to watch out for this is crazy! I dont know who to trust anymore
