The puppy scam
Internet crooks will use anything that they can to relieve you of your wallet. One scam going around uses puppies as bait. Don’t fall for any deal involving puppies that comes by email. MSDN reports:
There’s a new scam out there and it involves—puppies. That’s right. Puppies. If you get an e-mail message from someone you don’t know, and it involves puppies, be careful. It might be an advanced fee fraud or a phishing scam.
Advanced fee fraud and phishing scams use e-mail and fraudulent Web sites that are designed to steal your money or your personal information. Recently, these kinds of scams have evolved into a type of elaborate social engineering fraud that aims to prey on your sympathy, or offer you deals that seem too good to be true.
