Cyber Security Tip – Beware Phony E-mail Scams

In all likelihood, the odds are very much against your being related to any royalty in Nigeria. E-mails promising a share of some lost treasure in exchange for your bank account details prey on people’s greed; all you would get out of one of these “419” scams is an empty bank account and possible criminal charges. Just ignore and delete these E-mails.
