Maraming maaaring mangyari sa sandali na ang isang tao ay naka-online sa internet. Ang internet ay isang 'nilalang' na may sarili nang buhay na napakahirap kung di man imposible nang mapatay. Para mapatay mo ang internet kailangang iswitch-off ang kuryenteng bumubuhay dito, at i-format ang mga hard disks, at idiskonek o pag putol putolin ang lahat ng mga kable, kurdon at mga wireless access points- sa madaling sabi ay i-offline ang lahat ng servers, mga network hardwares at devices sa BUONG MUNDO.
At paano mapapatay ang Internet kung lahat halos ng impormasyon at data ay tumatakbo sa dito. Lahat ng uri ng impormasyon ay tumatakbo dito, lahat ng uri ng tao ay gumagamit nito, masama at mabuti, bata at matanda, nag-aral at mangmang - maliban na lamang sa walang computer at walang koneksyon sa internet. Magmula sa mga satanista hanggang sa mga banal. Lahat halos ng iyong kailangang malaman ay nasa Internet sa kisap at pitik ng daliri sa dagang ang buntot ay kanyang ina (mouse and motherboard).
Ang Internet ngayon halos ang bumubuhay sa tao sapagkat ang mga produkto at mga serbisyo ay nangangailangan ng mabilis na komunikasyon at pakikipagtalastasan. Dati rati ang tradisyunal na sulat o liham kuhol (snail mail) ay ilang araw o linggo ang aabutin bago matanggap ng sinulatan, ngayon, segundo lang binabasa na ng sinulatan ang mensahe.
Kung may pinakaligtas na computer sa buong mundo, iyan ay walang iba kundi ang mga computer na hindi nakatusok o naka hook sa internet. Pero ang tawag sa mga computer na iyan ay bobong computer at mga tiwalag na computer - ekskomunikado. Pero sila lang ang ligtas dahil sila hindi papasukin ng virus galing sa internet maliban na lang kung may nahawahan ng sakit na disket o kahit anong media ang ipasok at patakbuhin dito.
Bakit napunta dito ang usapan, e paano kasi, naglipana ngayon ang napakaraming mga SCAM, HOAX, SPOOFS at kung ano ano pa sa Internet, e ang ilan sa mga APO ngayon ngayon lamang natututo mag-internet at dahil doon grabe ang paghanga at pagtitiwala sa kung ano ang matanggap sa email. Kesyo nanalo daw ng 25Million US Dollar sa Sugal sa America, o namatay ang kamag-anak sa Johannesberg sa Africa at kailangan ng next-of-kin para tanggapin o kuhanin ang naiwang pera sa bangko na nagkakahalaga ng 50Million Pounds etc.. at napakarami pang iba.
Meron pa diyan, natanggap daw sa trabaho sa Canada, pagpi fill up in ka ng Resume at hihingin ang iyong kopya ng pasport at kung ano ano personal na impormasyon, bigay ka naman, kasi trabaho sa Canada. At meron din, medyo bago ng kaunti, pakikialaman o iha-hack ang email at password mo at pagkatapos ay padadalhan ang iyong mga kaibigan ng email na nanghihingi ng kwarta kesyo ikaw ay naaksidente, namatayan, naholdap, nanakawan, nasunugan at kung ano ano pang kamalasan sa buhay.
Ang mga ito po ay aking tatalakayin dito para mayroon kayong kahit paano ay magagamit na impormasyon, dahil ako ay nagoyo na din at sinubaybayan ko yan hanggang sa dulo, baga ay one last step na lang ay tapos ang transaksyon. Ngayon ay ipagtatapat ko sa inyo.
EXAMPLE OF A SCAM
Nigerian Advanced Fee Fraud Email Scams
Lagos, Nigeria.
Attention: The President/CEO
Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.
Best regards
Howgul Abul Arhu
Ang email na katulad niyan ay ipinapadala sa napakaraming email address sa buong mundo, kung paano sila nagkaroon ng email mo- gumagamit sila ng Robot Software isang uri ng Internet Crawlers o Spiders at naglalagay ng Cookies sa iyong computer. At iyong mga cookies na iyon ang hahanapin ngayon ng crawlers, maraming kumbinasyon doon na gagamitin para masapul ang inyong tamang email address. Mabilis ang proseso mas mabilis na computer mas bago mas madali madadale ang inyong tamang email address. Ngayon may email address na sila, e paano ang password nyo pano nila malalaman, madali lang, may option pag nagsa sign in kayo na Remember My Password - inaatake ng hackers o ng spiders ang lokasyon sa computer mo kung saan nakasave ang password na iyon, di mo alam yun, pero alam nila yun, sorry ka na lang dear.
Pag nakuha nila ang iyong password at email address, ang kasunod na step ng robot ay gumawa ng email, may template na o yari nang email... so me listahan na sila gnayon ng mga confirmed emails, papalitan lang dun ang name na gamit mo pag nag-eemail ka, then matatanggap ngayon iyon ng mga kaibigan mo o lahat ng nasa address book mo. Pag sila nagsireply- panibago na naman yun, iikot na naman ang istorya. Ang masaklap kung ang magpadala nga ng kwarta at hindi ka muna tinawagan o hindi muna nagverify kung talaga bang nasagasaan ka ng pison at wala ka nang buhay! Kawawa naman si friend mo.
Eto usisain natin ang isang email na ito:
Una, ang email na ito ay galing HINDI SA YAHOO. Bakit kamo? Tingnan nyo kung kanino galing ang email, ito ay galing sa isang indibidwal na tao gamit pa nga ang hindi naman yahoo email account, verizon.net pa. Diyan pa lang makikita nyo na HINDI KONEKTADO SA YAHOO ANG NAGPADALA NG EMAIL. Ikalawa, hindi manghihingi ng email add at password sa iyo ang Yahoo gamit ang email dahil alam nila kung paano proteksyunan ang iyong account. Isa pa alam din nila kung anong email account ang hindi na nabubuksan sa matagal na panahon, alam nila yon kahit hindi mo alam. Dini deactivate nila ang mga email accounts na hindi na ginagamit, at nakahanda sila sa paglago exponentially ng mga email accounts. Planado na nila iyan. Ngayon, kung sasagutin mo ang email na iyan, HINDI SA YAHOO MAPUPUNTA ANG REPLY MO KUNDI SA TAONG IYAN. GET'S MO!
Narito pa ang isa, kamakailan lang,
Presumably, knowledge of the person's style of written english and the way how he express himself is a key in identifying genuine or false email messages. Biruin mo natapat pa, talagang papunta ng UK ang papang, at kung ikaw ang makakabalita dito sigurado mag-aalala ka, at dahil diyan malamang gagawa ka ng paraan agad para matugunan ang kailangan niya (impersonator). Sometimes, kailangan talaga ihiwalay ang emosyon at ang spur of the moment ika nga. Stop, Look and Listen.
Mahalaga na ang mga tinatakan, kahit sa email dapat bumabati ng Ave Maria Purissima o AMP, at ang reply naman sa kasunod na email ay Sin Pecado Con Su Vida o SPCSV, with that inihihiwalay natin, somehow, ang ating style of communication sa ibang emails, and we added some security test sa ating mga communications.
Establish between you and your friends some guarded message or password, just to ensure na kayo at siya nga iyon. Kung napanood ninyo ang pelikulang Face Off ni Nicolas Cage at John Travolta, parang ganuun, kahit magkapalit ng mukha makikilala mo pa din. Anyhow, any relationship should go beyond skin deep ika nga.
Naalala ko lang ang isang mensahe dati, na sa three days of darkness daw, gagayahin ng masamang espiritu ang tinig ng ating mahal sa buhay para sila ay makapasok sa ating bahay...hmmm, parang ganito yun ah.
Eto pa isa, Job Order Scam ito, sa Canada naman..fortunate and unfortunately sinubaybayan ko ito, it almost cost my present work and all my plans, pero salamat sa Mahal na Ingkong.

So, sinubaybayan ko po ito, at noong hinihingi ang kopya ng aking passport, hindi ko naibigay agad dahil 3 months ay mapapaso na ito. Kung kaya tumawag ako sa opisina at ipinahingi ko ang passport ko at sinabi kong ire renew ko, nasa Jeddah ako noon at malapit lang ang Consulate. Ipinaalam ko sa Couche Tard na irerenew ko lang at pumayag naman. Within that period, ang aking mga gamit sa homebase ay ipinaempake ko na sa aking bayaw at signal ko na lang ang hinihintay para ipadala by sea sa Pinas. Well, mabait ang Mahal na Ingkong, syempre dahil excited ako, ibinalita ko ito sa aking mga kaibigan at masaya din sila, but not so long, ang dati kong student sa Malolos ay nagoffline message sa akin, dahil sinabihan ko din sya ng mag-apply, ay nagsabi na Scam daw iyon. So di ako makapaniwala, she said she asked her cousins working in Makati and most of them as she said have lost several dollars already.
With that, I go deeper sa aking personal investigation and research. The company is true, the names are true, and they are hiring. I sent email through Contact Us link sa website ng Couce Tard and I received a reply that they are not hiring overseas, and that the person who owns the name is no longer in that capacity to hire people as he was transferred to another position. It means, somebody pose to be, and appears to be from them - and is not. They are using non official Couce Tard email accounts. Ginamit nila ang logo, ang mga business forms at ang address ng Couche Tard pero they were not able to use the official Couce Tard Company email accounts.
So, first, check and verify before doing any action especially if it involves MONEY and the request and use of Personal Information. With the above OFFER LETTER sino ang hindi maaakit?
Meron pang isa, bihira ang nakakapansin nito kasi halos totoong totoo ang lahat weh. Sa Canada o sa ibang bansa man, pareho lang yan ng style at modus iniiba lang nila ang country of destination, at ang mabigat- totoong mga Government Papers ang ginagamit nila. Paano?
Ganito diumano ang modus operandi. May totoong tao at totoong agency, legal naman talaga kung tutuusin. Magma migrate ka or mag work sa Canada, padadalhan ka ng mga forms na pi fill-up mo at isesend sa kanila. Ipapahanda sa iyo ang mga legal documents mo at credentials. Ihahanap ka nila diumano ng employer at makakakita naman sila at makakakuha sila ng LMO, at they will ask you to send your passport and other documents sa Canadian Embassy. So kung nasa stage na yun ka na, na you are waiting for stamping, they will ask you to send the full payment ng fee nila, then pag nakasend ka na nun, walang anu-ano isang araw you will recieve na ang iyong Employer diumano ay nag-back out.. So ano ibig sabihin nito, back to step One ka. E yung pera mo, mababawi mo pa ba, sabi nila oo mababawi, pro mahaba uling proseso.. E yung pera inutang mo lang or life savings mo.
Tama pa din ang payo ng mga magulang sa atin noong araw, DON'T TRUST AND TALK WITH STRANGERS.
Doon naman sa mga Next of Kin style na Scam, makakatangap ka ng email na inaalok ka na maging representative o magpapakilalang kamag-anak ng isang negosyanteng namatay sa Africa na may malaking deposito sa bangko. Na kaysa mailit iyon at iposses ng Gobyerno, isang diumano ay empleyado sa bangko, ang nakipagsabwatan para mailabas ang pera- at ikaw ang pinakamaswerteng napili nila - iyan e kung papaniwalaan mo dahil sanlibo at sanlaksang email address ang pinadalhan nila niyan.
Pag nagreply ka diyan at ibinigay mo ang iyong telephone number sa Pinas, tatawagan ka nila para makumbinse ka ng husto, ako weh tinawagan nga. Kailangan may bank account ka dito sa Pinas na kung saan doon nila ipapasok ang pera - MONEY LAUNDERING.. mabigat ito, diyan nasipa si Estrada. At para mahusto ang transaksyon, kailangan ng iyong personal appearance syempre doon sa Africa, so kailangan mo maglakad ng papel. Sagot mo gastos sabi naman nila e irereimburse sa iyo sa sandaling nadoon ka na at nakuha na ang pera. Kung nagtuloy tuloy ka dito, apply ka ng tourist visa para makarating ka doon sa Africa. Tuloy ang usapan ninyo ng tao o abogado diumano. Ngayon, ang masaklap, kung nagtuloy ka isa ka na sa magiging MISSING PERSON. Dahil pagdating mo doon sa airport ay sasalubungin ka ng mga Scammers at lumalabas na nagpunta ka doon para magpa KIDNAP. So ang suma, hihingi ngayon ng RANSOM sa mga kamag-anak mo ang mga kolokoy na iyon at pag wala kang naibigay - sorry ka na lang dear! Marami nang kaso nito sa America. Ingat.
Ganoon din ang modus operandi ng mga Cellphone SCAMS. Ingat po kayo, sa susunod ay iyon ang aking ipo post. Hanggang sa muli po!
