    Don’t be fooled with online scams, they really sucks! I got a lot of e-mails every now and then telling me some sort of winning but actually will scam you if you’ll attentively reply to them with your personal information.

  3. Thanks for sharing. As I said in a post on the same subject, Google won’t ask you for your password in an email. No legitimate company will. Ever. Don’t give your password to anyone via email.
