Thousands Fall For Hotmail Prank On BBC
by Anorak | 4th, November 2007
THE second most e-mailed story on the BBC is a scam about MSN hotmail and how the BBC covers it:
It is not unusual for pranksters and scammers to back up their sting with links to well-known websites.
I regularly get scam e-mail from alleged bankers or relatives of deposed dictators, asking me for help to squirrel away some money. The claim is usually backed up with a link to a CNN or BBC story about the firm or dictator.
The BBC could not refer to it and publish news instead. Or do they need the traffic?
