Online scams

I usually bin these but in this case, might be useful - apply all your usual security measures.  here was the email to me:

Karen here from Comparitech.

I noticed one of your links is broken and thought you’d want to know.

It’s on this page - https://www.nourishingobscurity.com/2016/04/some-reasonable-reads/

The broken link (http://www.ic3.gov/crimeschemes.aspx) is to IC3’s list of internet crime schemes which doesn’t seem to be there.

Perhaps you could point people to our list instead? It covers the 70 most common types of internet crime schemes and how to avoid them.

Here’s the alternative link - https://comparite.ch/avoid-scams

Interesting article on the various things which can trap us.  NOdotcom is still quite functional, by the way, awaiting the post-Easter decision. NOUK, sadly, has gone the way of Chuckles.
