Honest scammer: Insider Chat with Nigeria Connection!
  The Nigeria Connection is still earning millions each year with a very simple email scam: Users all over the world are asked to help smuggle huge sums of money out of Africa via their bank accounts in return for large commissions.

Illegal parking triggers a new virus attack!
  Emsi Software, provider of the a-squared Anti-Malware 4.0 protection software, warns of a new type of virus attack that, up to now, has only been used in the USA. In this case, after returning from shopping, drivers find a parking ticket on their windscreen. The drivers are then supposed to fetch the details of the illegal parking, and the penalties incurred, from a particular website. Drivers who actually follow the printed link are then promptly attacked and receive new Malware on their PCs.

Side blows of a new threat: Rogue Anti-Spyware
  Hackers and malware programmers have always been very creative about finding news ways to attack your computer. The point of this is not always to spy out new vulnerable spots (exploits) or to infiltrate trojans, nor to develop more efficient disguise functions. At the moment, fake anti-spyware programs are one threat among others that is spreading rapidly. Of course the evil has a name: Rogue Anti-Spyware.
