You Could Get the
Proceeds From a Porn Business Put Into Your Bank Account-Scam!
Summary of the eRumor This is a confusing email
that says money from a porn site is due you then it asks for your
credit card information.
The Truth
This is a scam that may have
originated from someone who does not speak or write English very
well.
It says your credit card has been "charged" for money
laundering services from your child porn website.
Or that you deal with "dirty money" and need their money
laundering services.
Then is asks you to confirm the transaction and give your credit
card information.
Our guess is that what the scammer meant to say was that the money
from your website is ready and we can send it to your credit card.
The obvious goal is to harvest your credit card information.
