Spam 2 Scam How 2 B E-Safe [Paperback]

K. P. Manikantan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 8, 2008

This is a book about SPAM, e-SCAMs and how to be safe from them. Here is a book written in a simple style and straight forward language to suit every reader irrespective of his/her background. Plenty of information is already available on 'what' ranging from advisories to blogs to actual, published works. There are commercial products offering varying degrees of security too. However, the efficacy of those solutions depends on the 'awareness' of the user concerned, because you have to take the call ultimately on what is a real deal and what is a potentially fraudulent product or service. This book also attempts to provide the 'why' and 'how'. With over 30 illustrated examples, this book prepares readers to recognise patterns of fraud and thereby helps them not to fall victim to such schemes. Readers will also find some simple yet practical suggestions on fortifying their information environment easily too.
