I consider myself fairly savvy when it comes to internet and phone scams that attempt to "phish" information from me electronically. I'm kind of a "know it all" who's always giving other people advice on what not to do. Still, I had a very close call today from a scammer who came very close to getting me.
There's a new phishing attack going on in your in-box and this one is difficult to deal with. Recently, I've been inundated with dozens and dozens of emails from a PR company sending me two copies of news releases and lawsuit announcements. On average, I was receiving about 50 emails an hour.
The United States Postal Service is warning of a new scam stealing people's vital information and the problem is, many of us have already been scammed.
