It's your lucky day. Someone from Nigeria needs your help in smuggling money from his country. You don't have to do anything difficult. You just have to conduct some wire transfers and wait for the Nigerian to give you your share of the funds.
While checking the inbox of your email account, you saw a message saying you won a contest. You just have to send some money for shipping and wait for your prize to arrive.
The situations given are typical scams. You probably think that nobody would fall for them. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. Thousands of people fall for such tricks. Victims send money and/or confidential information to the hackers, hoping for a quick benefit.
Think before reacting to any email. Scams work best against people who act quickly. If an email says something that is too good to be true, ignore it. If the message asks you to give personal information, report the email and tag it as spam.
