The site features a video outlining \u00a0an &#8220;amazing&#8221; \u00a0online \u00a0trading system that promises to make thousands of dollars per day.  \u00a0The site claims that you can get the software &#8220;100% Free&#8221;. But, later, it explains that you&#8217;ll need to pay a $250 deposit to make the system work.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0supposed system \u00a0is a typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scamwatch.gov.au\/news\/dont-be-lured-into-binary-options-scams\">binary options scam<\/a>. People who participate will not make the amounts of money \u00a0described in the video. If they are lucky, they may make a small return on their initial \u00a0investment. More likely, they will lose the lot. And, to participate, you need to provide your personal information and your credit card numbers. The scammers running such websites may use \u00a0any information you disclose to steal your identity. Or, they may sell your information to other criminals.<\/p>\n<p>This company is using a deliberately deceptive \u00a0spam campaign to grab your attention.  \u00a0Its promotional messages claim that you have received a refund when no such refund exists. And, it implies an association with Amazon when no such association exists.<\/p>\n<p>Any company or individual that uses such underhand tactics should never be trusted with your credit card numbers and your personal \u00a0information.  \u00a0If this email comes your way, just hit the &#8220;delete&#8221; key.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/7792-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/7792-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to this email, I&#8217;ve been sent a refund of $231.45. \u00a0The email suggests that I click a link to review the transaction online. \u00a0The \u00a0&#8220;transaction number&#8221; listed in the email implies that the alleged refund is related to an Amazon transaction.
