In this email, the scammer tries to convince you that he\/she has gotten into your account and knows that you go to pornographic sites.  As is often the case, this scammer uses the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/social-engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Social Engineering<\/a><\/strong> principle of fear in an attempt to motivate you to pay them.  Of course, if you never go to porn sites, you&#8217;d know immediately that it was a scam attempt.  Still, even if you do visit those kinds of sites, the email is still a fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-have-an-amazon-account\">Do You Have An Amazon Account?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/doyouhaveanamazon.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"441\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/doyouhaveanamazon.jpg\" alt=\"Screen capture of a friend asking you if you have an Amazon account\" class=\"wp-image-6161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/doyouhaveanamazon.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/doyouhaveanamazon-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">This scam email almost always comes from someone you know.  The principle of wanting to help people is behind this Social Engineering attempt.  Their email has been hacked and this email is sent to those in the hacked address book.  You should never reply to these types of emails but, rather, call or text the person to let them know they&#8217;ve been hacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scam-email-example-3-cloud-storage-hacked\">Scam Email Example #3 &#8211; Cloud Storage Hacked<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked-1024x460.jpg\" alt=\"Screen capture of a scam email example  claiming they have hacked your cloud storage.\" class=\"wp-image-6162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked-1024x460.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked-768x345.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked-600x270.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cloud_storage_hacked.jpg 1310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In this scam email, the hacker tries to convince you that they have accessed your online cloud storage.

However, this email is often aimed at businesses like 4KCC where we do use QuickBooks.  The tip-off that this is fake is in the salutation.   Intuit would definitely know my name and wouldn&#8217;t refer to me as a &#8220;Valued Customer.&#8221;  The second hint is the poor grammar in the email.  If you get this, mark it spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-review-scam-email-examples\">Let&#8217;s Review &#8211; Scam Email Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">It&#8217;s important that you always think before you click, tap or call some phone number in an email.
