Spammers and scammers tend to change the products they’re hawking from time to keep in order to keep the public off guard, and the “hot” product of the moment seems to be ”luxury watches”.
Lately I’ve been receiving dozens of spam emails per day offering me either a Rolex or a TAG Heuer timepiece at a ridiculously low price, offers which for some might be just too hard to resist. The problem of course is that these emails are scams.
As luck would have it there is an easy to remember axiom that can help you distinguish the scams that arrive in your inbox from legitimate offers: If the email was sent to you by anyone other than a company that you explicitly agreed to receive email offers from, the odds are extremely high that the email is either a spam, a scam, or both.
As with any product, it’s perfectly fine to buy an expensive watch online, but you would be wise to make your purchase from a company that actually pays cold, hard cash for advertising instead of flooding the world’s inboxes with tons of offers that really are “too good to be true”.
If people would really get this…spam would stop.
