The motives? Money. They extort money by gaining access to credit card information, paypal credentials, etc. Their weapon: trust. They target the human factor, considered as the weakest link in computer security.

There is one simple solution that I have found works. Make them a better offer than what they do now. They rob bank accounts? I tell them they can rob BANKS, accounts and all, with me. All that I ask of them in return is their real name. Some buy it, and the ones that do I tell the cops, they call people higher up, and arrest the guy. This has seriously worked 10 times, and I’ve seen the news reports to prove it.

Thank you for your informative site – it was nice to be relieved after feeling confused and intimidated by the “ISC Monitoring Team – “Consorcium” email – which has a VIRUS in attachment…
Usually BOGUS is easy to spot, but when FEAR kicks in a person can become irrational and become victimized easily…

I get a large number of these in my email all the time. They all seem to be badly worded. Is that deliberate? Perhaps to make me think they would be easy to con?
I like the idea of the better offer. Im gonna try that.
Thank you.

The history of ITOCHU Corporation (hereinafter “ITOCHU”) dates back to 1858 when the Company’s founder Chubei Itoh commenced linen trading operations. Since then, ITOCHU has evolved and grown over 150 years into a sogo shosha, engaging in domestic trading, import/export, and overseas trading of various products such as textiles, machinery, information and communications-related products, metals, products related to oil and other energy sources, general merchandise, chemicals, and provisions and food. In addition, ITOCHU has made multifaceted investments in insurance agencies, finance, construction, real estate trading, and warehousing as well as operations and businesses incidental or related to those fields. Under the former mid-term management plan “Frontier-2006,” ITOCHU reached its objective of “becoming a Highly Profitable Corporate Group achieving over ¥100 billion in consolidated net income in a steady and sustainable manner.” ITOCHU will now move forward with the implementation of our new mid-term management plan, “Frontier+ 2008,” under which we will adopt an even more aggressive management policy and strive to enhance corporate value on the world stage, in order to become “a Global Enterprise that is highly attractive to all stakeholders.” The reason I seek your assistance is that American and Canadian and Europe cheques take a long time to clear here in JAPAN, thereby holding business down for my associates and me.
