Topic: Computers
Well everyone with an email address is familiar with email spam but recently i got this mail from a guy in Karachi requesting a BRAND NEW PC !! and the reason given for this is that he is very poor and cannot look after his family. and somehow giving him a computer would solve all his problems.. Imagine!
And whats more intresting is that he specifically asks for a P4 or P3 atleast?! I remember I first started working on a P1, later upgraded to P2 and even now I have no requirement for a brand new P4 unless I wish to do a lot of programming on my PC. Everyone knows you donot need a new P4 to check your mails or simply get online.. even an old PC like a P1 for instance can sufficiently cater to your needs and hardly costs around Rs. 4000 yet he wishes to get a new P4 just to work online on some fake company promising hundreds of dollars per hour..
What he doesnot know is that the internet is full of spammers just like himself attracting foolish people, just like himself, for their own gains.. I just wish there was some Online Policing service that would expose such frauds and put an end to this menace.. I remember not too long ago there was this famous African group asking for people's personal contacts so they could transfer millions of dollars in some safe bank account in Pakistan.. the group was luckily exposed and are now behind bars.
So let this be an advice to all of you out there.. there is no such company online that would give you cash just like that! It only shows how vulnerable you are when you are online to such sham profit making schemes with no land-links or existence.
