Seun, how did they get our email adresses?

bro seun , pls don't avoid this question. How do scammers get our email ID? I can't stop receiving emails especially from one man advertising penis enlargement.

@ Seun

If I may give you some advice.

Be careful when stating that a site as a SCAM site. The internet address in question :
http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/

Seems to be a legitimate website, its seems that scammer however have comprised it in their scamming. This is common (using a legitimate site). By saying that the site itself is a scam is not correct and could be viewed as slander since one could argue that their name is being tarnished. As Nairaland is a hot search topic if one were to google scam and standardlife, this would turn up and I dont think thats your intention.

Yeah i received this email this morning i deleted it immediately

RobinHez:
The big question!

"How did they get our emails?"

Hmmm...

tchidi:
How dem get our email?

You posted it in a public location, probably on your advert, or on a thread where someone asked you to submit your email to get some goodies.

Scammers seeking for quick riches everywhere and they never amount to anything in life. Those that even get the the riches waste it on cars and fornications. Dupe people of N20million just to buy the latest range rover.

Honestly wealth gotten by vanity always vanished.

The best way to live is to work hard with clean hands. Even if it is N1000 u saved it will grow and never dies. Because a 1000 ideas will be give to u by God but those who steals God always stripped them of knowledge and wisdom. The only wisdom for a thief is foolishness

How dem get our email?

If i search Nairaland very well i will see your email. You have posted it once or twice and you have probably forgotten. You don't know these scammers have Phd in Research

So many crazy mails like that ever since I dropped my email on NL and its a shame on those stupid scammers and I'm not surprise that most people will still fall for their scams, I wish I have screen munched so that I can paste here too for others awareness, thanks oga seun for the notice, happy new month bro and to every nairalanders

So seun because dis one touch u, u bring it up to front page, what of the one wey touch other nairalanders ? Many fraudulent nairaland member are always reported and we don't see those topic at front page

You Are Right My Brother....... Is All That Useless Thread That Dont Have Or Add Mean To People Life That Is Always Push To Front Page.

Seun Better Fixup Things Right And Better Tightening All Nairaland Users Security Details On Your Platform.

@pbundles: Somehow I forgot to check the last site to confirm that the scam was indeed hosted there. I've corrected that mistake. Thanks.

hmmm

observing the CEO is here

The scam bird is using what is called a Ponzi scheme

Here,,,,.....you invest N50000 and get N85000 after 10 days.

The scheme works by getting enough people to put their money in the thing. And just to prove he is ''genuine''...he would pay some people their money when they ask. Of course....some of those people would promptly invest their money back into the scheme....and on and on it goes....until one day.....the people wake up and find out that our man or woman has vanished with their money.

In the South American country of Colombia....one man ran such a scheme for several months over 10 years ago. Then....one day...thousands of people woke up to find that the man had vanished with their money(Moved to the US apparently). And it was December....

Moral of the tale....don't invest in quick investment schemes. Try something better....like buying shares.

You're a CS person, don't tell me you don't know how it's done.

NEVER!!
I have never posted my email on nairaland. I chop craze?

And seun all these NLander that advertise one thing or the other on their signatures too are 70% of scammer,pls warn them.

NAIRALAND AND SEUN SHOULD REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE OR SSS. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS AN OFFENCE PUNISHABLE UNDER THE CYBER CRIME ACT. SINCE THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS THERE IT WILL BE EASIER TO TRACE THEM THROUGH IT.

There's one sent to my box that a certain AD has been approved from seun Nairaland owner.

The scam sends Western Union worldwide for a small fee. I laughed.

No...but I hear it is a good idea.

Good question.

Noted, but oga seun continue to put in your best to secure this forum, some people are enemies of the progress of nairaland and they are jealous of its success. Put in more effort to secure the forum from scammers and hackers

Scam everywhere
