Príjemné vybavenie dovolenky na nejakom ostrove v Pacifiku, kúpa nového auta, predčasné splatenie hypotekárneho úveru a kopa iných vecí, ktoré si určite kúpim, mi okamžite preblesklo hlavou.
Žiaľ realita bola úplne iná. Stal som sa už neviem koľkou obeťou (aj keď slovo obeť v pravom slova zmysle nie je na mieste, lebo sa mi nič nestalo) podvodného emailu, tzv. Hoax. Veď už len ten názov "európsko-afro-americká "lotéria hovorí samo za seba. Určite ste zaregistrovali emaily o Ericssone zadarmo, Nigérijských listov, českých podvodných listov a pod. Kým niektoré z nich môžu byť neškodné a sú skôr poplašné(je o tom aj blog Jána Pavlíka), tie druhé vám môžu narobiť poriadnu šarapatu.
Teda v skratke, cieľom takýchto emailov je vylákať od prípadných obetí peniaze, prípadne im „vybieliť“ účet.
Preto najjednoduchšie, čo môžete urobiť s takýmto emailom, je to, že ho vymažete, prípadne si ho vytlačíte a budete ukazovať svojim vnukom ako ste fiktívne vyhrali veľký obnos peňazí. Takže dávajte si pozor.
