I just invested my entire savings in a little known company, thanks to a surefire stock tip I just got from the Attorney General's Office. I mean, Attorney General Bob Ferguson recommended it himselfâhow could this possible go wrong?
Oh... wait...
Today, the Attorney Generalâs Office learned people are receiving e-mails that appear to be from the AGO Webmaster or other â@atg.wa.govâ e-mail addresses with the following subject lines:
⢠New Pick Coming! But First I need your help, details inside
⢠Pick Of The Week
⢠This Stock is another monster week ahead
⢠DONâT MISS TODAYâS TRADING IDEA
⢠Your Mind Blowing Monster Pick!
⢠News Out & Must Read Inside.Let us assure you. These are spoofs. Scammers know how to make a message appear to be from one e-mail when itâs really from someone completely different.
There goes my retirement.
