Slick videos are what sucked a lot of people into the ASD scam. Cool vids do not mean that a company is legit. Another good point to emphasize is the relative ease of videography these days.

I think the problem is that if you've been online for any length of time, and stay current with events online, you'd know better. However, day in and day out I work with and communicate with people who are so darn new - they believe just about anything. And some of these notices do look so official. They think that incoming mail means it's "safe" because it got passed an antivirus check without really giving thought to the content of that mail (which is not traceable). Being new means lots of potential victims out there for these s.o.bs! The post is excellent and the comments.

I think what gets most people is they are foolish enough to click the link in an email. Instead going out to the site (open browser and go there yourself) helps protect you. Also, as you say if you spend less time being greedy and more time thinking, then you'll be a whole lot safer online.

Only through mass education can this be changed. Of course, the scammers would still stay one step ahead.
