New E-mail Scam, Same Old Story

Posted by Kara Reeder Apr 28, 2009 1:01:30 PM

A spam e-mail purporting to be from former Customs and Border Protection Assistant Commissioner Thomas S. Winkowski is making the rounds, reports kstp.com.

 

The e-mail claims that the CBP has stopped a diplomat who is carrying a consignment that is supposed to be delivered to the recipient’s residence. The e-mail then asks for personal information so the inheritance can be delivered.

 

The Internet Crime Complaint Center notes:

The U.S. CBP does not send unsolicited e-mails. Consumers should not respond to unsolicited e-mails or click on any embedded links, as they may contain viruses or malware.
