My life mate has even received letters from the FBI, when I contacted the nears FBI office to investigate the letter, no one in the bureau had an knowledge of the letter but they were happy to get the email and run their own investigation into the matter. So yes cloaking by online criminals is alive and well. Like I said to you before no one need be a victim, it only takes a few minutes to surf the net to see who is on the blacklist on internet companies that are pretending to be or deliver something they can not. Let your fingers do the googling to find the sites and investigate before you invest. You could save yourself more than just money. Some of the scams come with a prison sentence.

It is essential to be wary of any outside service asking for your user name and password. ~ Kristi This is great advice… phishers are getting wiser with cloaked links and other official looking emails and authentic sites to steal your information from you.
