ADP Benefits Phishing E-mail - Scam Alert

The is an phishing e-mail purporting to be from ADP Benefits. Please, do not respond to this email or click the links in it.

Information from ADP:

What is phishing?

ANSWER: Cyber criminals try to lure people with spoofed emails, voice messages and text messages that tell the recipient there is a problem with a bank account, credit card, or even a payroll question that has to be answered “right away.” These phony emails are called phishing emails. Do not respond or click on any links within these emails.

What protection do I have against phishing?

ANSWER: If an email comes to your email inbox and it is asking you to take immediate action on something to do with your account or your data, even if it looks like it is from a source you know, like your bank or credit card company, do not take any action. Delete the email. If you think it may have been a legitimate request, contact the company by phone. Do not use any number given in the email, it maybe fake too. Remember: Legitimate companies that have your sensitive data will not send or call you to ask for that information.

What do fraudulent emails look like?

ANSWER: Fraudulent emails are often disguised or made to look like they are coming from an official source, such as a government agency or business. If you have doubts, check with the sender via phone about the email and the information being asked.

What should I do if I get an email with an ADP logo and I suspect it is a phishing email?

ANSWER: If you receive a suspicious email, phone call or text message that looks like it is coming from ADP; let us know about it right away. Forward the original email you received as an attachment or a description of the phone call or text message to abuse@adp.com. A representative from ADP will contact you or your employer as appropriate. ADP will take appropriate steps to address suspicious events.

Ebay Popup Scam

Their is a new scam using ebay's name. A page rewrites using browser flash plugins to solicit payments by direct money transfer for expensive items that don't exist.

With flash enabled in the viewer browser the pages do a 'double-load' --> the paypal payment bits disappear while direct money transfer is listed as 'protected'. Some other changes occur such as item pictures appearing, item id changing to stop reporting and stop the view of other seller items.

The first hack used external non-ebay servers to work their magic, I presume the new version is the same. Ebay just stonewall and say they couldn't be hacked. This may amount to $80,000 in 3 days for a few items. It's no-flash policy probably stops those ebay staff that scrutinise reported items from seeing what is going on.

Yahoo Lottery Scam

A scam email is circulating that states that you have won a Yahoo Lottery. This has set off the scam alert.

Dear Yahoo Management ! Last month of 26th I have received the below email on my hotmail id "bilalsh@hotmail.com" Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:08:13 +0800 From: @yahoo.com.hk Subject: CONTACT THE PAYING BANK FOR YOUR WINNING PRIZE $1,000.000.00 To: @hotmail.com YAHOO LOTTERY RESULTS 2012 YAHOO INTERNET LOTTERY CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Anthony Morrison Scam

Some feel that Anthony Morrison's seminar Internet Marketing is a scam. First they have you go to a free seminar and provide you with a free lunch.

The seminar lasts about 2 hours and it is somewhat informative. The basic premise is that you learn how to set up websites and use affiliate links to earn money.

The paid training and course costs around $2900. The course lasts three days and you get support and they do offer a refund if you are not satisfied.

The biggest problem that I see with the course is that they promote buying ads to promote your website. That seems like a very dangerous game, because if your conversion to sales is not enough to pay the advertising clicks, you are losing money.

So, buyer beware.

Bitcoin Scam or Not?

Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network.

Bitcoin is also the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

What do we think of Bitcoin?

I like the fact that it is not controlled by a government.

However, trust is something that must be earned. Review your experience with Bitcoin or state your opinions below.

Florida Lottery Scam

Every day, criminals find new ways to scam victims out of their savings. Many Floridians have fallen prey to con artists claiming to be Florida Lottery winners who are unable to collect their jackpots. The con artists offer to “sell” the winning ticket to the victim, or ask their victim to collect the money for them. When the victim agrees, they are asked for money or other valuables as a “deposit.” Once the con artists have the victim’s money, they disappear.

The Florida Lottery offers these helpful tips to avoid being scammed:

NEVER redeem a Florida Lottery ticket for someone you don't know.
NEVER give your credit card numbers over the phone to anyone promising Florida Lottery cash prizes or memberships.
NEVER accept a collect phone call from someone claiming to be a Florida Lottery official.
NEVER respond to a letter or phone call from someone who offers you a guarantee of winning a prize. The Florida Lottery does not guarantee you a prize, only a chance of winning if you buy a legal ticket.
ONLY participate in a "lottery pool" with people you trust. If you have questions about "lottery clubs", please call the Florida Lottery Division of Security at (850) 487-7730.
ONLY buy Florida Lottery tickets from authorized retailers. Call your local Florida Lottery District Office for the location of a retailer near you.

ATT Uverse Scam

AT&T U-VERSE SCAM ALERT - Friends, here in the Dallas area, AT&T U-Verse sales representatives are going door to door promising promotions and rebates that essentially don't exist.

We went ahead and signed up. When the AT&T U-Verse installation technician arrived, he set us up with all new equipment, wiring etc. Spent about two hours doing so. Before he left, I had him phone the AT&T customer service department to confirm our account and all the promotions we had been offered. The AT&T customer service rep. (and a manager after I had escalated the call) confirmed that no "gift cards" or rebates that the sales rep. had offered existed. It was all a lie. The worst part was that the "customer service" department was claiming that AT&T had "no control" over the promises being made in the field...

This was another bad omen, which led us to make the technician take out all his equipment and wiring on the spot, and reinstall our previous TV and Internet services. We, of course, cancelled our order over the phone while the technician was removing the equipment.

Advice - AVOID AT&T U-Verse, especially when sales reps come a knockin' on your door. Our personal AT&T scam artist said his name was Donovan Ruffin. He gave us his cell number, 214-471-3883, to provide us with any "additional support" we might need. I phoned him while he was standing in our kitchen, and he picked up, so I know this phone was working. Of course, I've been calling him ever since the scam was identified but he has not picked up, yet. He probably has a separate phone he uses for his scams.

USell.com

Many are complaining about Usell.com. Usells connects top-rated companies who specialize in purchasing and refurbishing used cell phones and electronics with the people who want to sell them. Usell.com has responded to the complaints.

uSell.com was first launched in October of 2010. We are a publicly traded company and through a round of investing, were about to fund a massive TV campaign that was very successful. However, we were overwhelmed by the consumer response and did not have the back-end scalability that would allow us to handle the massive amount of orders. Because of this, we suffered severe customer service issues. In June of 2011, our board as well as our senior staff decided to take a new direction. Instead of purchasing electronic devices directly from consumers, we have partnered with several of the leading electronics-buying companies in the country to purchase the devices. This guarantees that no single liquidator will be overwhelmed by a high volume of orders, thereby ensuring a satisfactory customer experience. The majority of complaints date back to transactions that were made prior to June of 2011. Furthermore, please see our BBB rating, we have an A- rating with the BBB. All of the customer issues have been resolved and we are focused on our new business and providing our customers with an easy and secure way of selling their unwanted electronic devices. We acknowledge that we did make some mistakes in our early days, but we have done and continue to do everything we can to make it right for every customer. If you have an issue with a current transaction, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly at Support@uSell.com. For everyone who is concerned about uSell's credibility, here is some information about what the majority of our customers experience with our company, as well as links to customer reviews of our partners: http://www.usell.com/blog/usell-university/proof-that-usell-buyers-will-not-scam-you/. In addition, uSell was recently recommended on the Today Show: http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/46782770#46782770. We hope this information helps to set your mind at ease.
