Why Don’t Be Conned?

Today, our in-boxes are flooded by all kinds of spam and unsolicited emails. Most messages are just garbage but some are sent with a malicious purpose: a con or scam that is potentially dangerous.

Due to the widespread use of web bugs in email, simply opening an email can potentially alert the sender that the address to which the email has been sent is valid. This can also happen when the mail is 'reported' as spam. Even forwarding the email for inspection can in some cases alert the sender in the same way as if the addressee has opened it.

Financial and investment scams, including High Yield Investment Plans (HYIPs), Ponzi Schemes, Fake 'Affiliate' Schemes and Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scams, offer a huge unrealistic return on investments which turn out to be fraudulent, illegal or non-existent. Solicitations are almost always by Spam emails, and often use 'meta-cash' like e-Gold etc.

Con messages try to cheat email users by presenting a notification message supposedly sent by a known bank or financial institution. These types of email are extremely well crafted. They carry the branding and logos of those institutions and have the content written in a formal style.

However their purpose is simple: lure the users to share their account details and passwords.

To achieve this, the scammers usually employ the same kind of content:
• Request a password change due to a “system update”
• Request a password change for a “security measure”
• Request account information for charity or fund raising purposes
• Request account information for helping facilitate a big transaction

The number of scam schemes is large and have the same objective, however they all fail in the same area:
To be able to collect any information, the scammers rely on the victim to interact with their scam system, which obviously is not running on the institutions servers and domains.
Some email users have lost money to bogus offers that arrived as spam in their in-box. Con artists are very cunning; they know how to make their claims seem legitimate. Some spam messages ask for your business, others invite you to a website with a detailed pitch.

How Don’t Be Conned Puts An End To this

Don’t Be Conned is at this moment developing software that attacks suspicious email messages by employing an advanced data scanner and parser. The software processes every single word in the message’s content and checks it against a database in a dedicated, fully protected server containing definitions of suspicious information. As the system grows so will its database meaning that we can keep up to date with the latest ways that scam artists are trying to attract people to fall into their trap.

By employing these core processes it is possible to alert both the user and the “named” financial institution about the scam email message instantly. The software adds any suspicious content like links, IPs and addresses to the database:

Links checkups – to confirm that the links within the message are valid or not, in which case the link will be added to the black list database.
Image links checkups – to confirm that the images in the messages are linked to the real institution servers or domain name, otherwise add the image links to the black-list database.

Suspicious wording –to find out if the message contains any number of black-listed words which a financial institution would probably never use, like: “reset your password” or “invalid access”, or any other suspicious text, which will add the whole email message to the back-list database.
These three core processes will help to confront an email message and decide if it is a legitimate notification from a financial institution, or a scam attempt.

When a message gets positively tagged as a scam, the system will proceed with steps to help undermine the scammer’s attempt, and to reduce damage:

• Pass all the suspect information to the involved financial institution so they are aware what is happening and alert their valued users.

• Store the scam information into a global database for both future reference and check up processes.

• Send a tips email message to the intended victim explaining how they can protect themselves by following a few simple steps.

• The objective is to provide a set of tools for the user to check inbound email messages suspected of being scams or cons.

•  The system provides an easy, fast and accurate way to confirm or deny email messages by scanning and comparing them against an auto-updating database holding real and confirmed email addresses, IPs, links and other information known as valid.

• The system can be provided either as a downloadable Windows Desktop application or through access to the live website.

• In the case of a downloadable application, the database files need to be updated from the website on a regular manual / automatic basis.
