New scam killing tools (March 2012)


Inboxrevenge  has a proud history of providing useful tools for combating spam.

2012 has ushered in some new tools, with a new target - Scams.
We are seeing a considerable increase in the frequency of spams hitting our inboxes that have one clear purpose - to separate the unwary from their money.

There are many categories of scams. The most prevalent is known as the Advance Fee Fraud. These encompass fake lotteries, bequests of millions of dollars, fake scams involving smuggling money out of certain countries, claims by military personnel that they want to pass a stash of millions through your bank account, young girls seeking romance and so on.

These scams depend on communication back and forth via an email address. The scammers in over 99% of cases use free email services, most prominently from Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, GMX and Rediffmail.  But there are over 600 others also abused in the same manner.

The quickest way to nip these vermin's scams is to have their email addresses shut down before they can get their scams off the ground. To make this happen, the team at InBoxRevenge.com have put together some useful automated reporting tools and released the free of charge.  The members only forums at IBR provide support for such tools as
  1. 419 Nigerian ScamerAtor
  2. 419 Automated Reporters
The tools can be downloaded from the spamtrackers download site under Spam Reporters
