Sound great? It's a fraud.

I wrote about this in a previous blog but this type of activity is climbing at an alarming rate. The place to put these is in the Email Junk Mail Trash Heap.

Also, contact the various authorities.

To report telemarketing fraud of any kind, contact your state Attorney General.

The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

My cookie trash can on my computer fills up faster than I can eat a cookie.

Every day I receive dozens of cookies in, unsolicited B2B and B2C emails from all kinds...

Before we used email on computers to the extent we do today we would surf through the postal mail and toss out the junk.

As far as I am concerned the majority of B2B and B2C emails being generated today are in the same category from companies that they themselves are "junk". They promise everything from get rich schemes to spamming you with garbage and viruses.
