My experience on E-mail Scam.
On one fine day, I was just browsing my e-mails and subsequently I led into this e-mail.I was quite accustomed with this kind of e-mail. For that reason only I quit using my previous yahoo Id because of flooded with Scam E-mails. At once, I thought to write about this issues facing by millions of people across the world.
I would recall one incident that pushed me to write on this specific topic..
It was one evening in winter in back 2010 , I met one known fellow of 30 aged on the way to my Coaching. He was sweatening even though It was too cold. Even child can Suspect that it’s not appears to be normal. I was clueless at that time , I just escaped the place keeping in mind of hectic Schedule. but, God knows Why I was so engrossed into such kind of thoughts during my coaching class. For me It was worth knowing that How a normal people could change suddenly. It is the CURCUMSTANCES that change the people. After few days , I met his Cousin on the Street on the way back from college,who happened to be my ok-ok kind of friend, He narrated whole lot story about him. His whole family was worried of same fellow because his sudden resign from work, where he was in managerial grade and was having decent remuneration. Moreover to add fuel ,This guy Was frequently visiting Restaurant and destroying his hard earned bank balance.However,My friend was reluctant to discuss more about this issue.
After 3-4 days, It was a talk of every people of our area.This fellow normally possed sober behavoiur but nowadays he has been metammorphized.For Instance he was paying more tip to Tea Shop, Ricksaw puller or in Restaurent. One Decent people turned into Incent but no one bothered to discover the truth behind this sudden change .I was still adamant to know the truth behind the scene. One day I discovered He was frequently visiting the cyber Café and I enquired to cyber café owner That what was the buzz in his frequent visit to Ca’fe. He narrated me the story which nowadays He seemed to be quite busy with his some e-mail work. He Comes every day here and get prints on regular basis of some sort of confirmation letter. I don’t know Why That time I straightway concluded That’s not other than E-mail Scam,and He is part of Their in-depth Processing. I thanked café’s owner.
My Prediction turned into truth when I listened from that of my friend informing me about his cousin(same fellow) had lost 5 lakhs and He was very silent nowadays, he even
did’nt Bother to talk to anyone. His family was desperately looking for his remedial…
This is one incident that took place in our locality. People have witnessed the mishaps.
My question to all of you friend.Do Innocent people have to learn only by the hard way
Again and again???
