Email scammers dig maximum profits from Iceland’s volcanic ash cloud
The latest buzz catching these days is the about the Iceland's volcanic ash cloud, this is being mostly profited by the spammers.
Spammers are cashing on this misery by sending out numerous mails that appears to come straight from Civil Aviation Authority and offers the sufferers a considerable amount of compensation due to the losses caused by the ash.
The dismay of cancelling the European trip wasn't over and this new misery came up.
The mailers seem to ask for an "administration fee" in order to receive the granted compensation. This is in addition to personal information such as passport details and other such information.
The BBC officials claim this to be a work of "Frank Adam, Chief Consumer Protection Officer at the CAA" as the mails bore the signature of the same. It is obvious that Frank Adam does not exist, if he does, he's caused trouble for the people at the IRP (Institute for Ripping-off People).
