Authors: Spring, Tom
Source: PCWorld. Oct2008, Vol. 26 Issue 10, p18-20. 3p.
Subjects: Gas prices, Spam email, Computer hacking, Petroleum products, Internet searching, Internet fraud, Email systems, Computer crimes, Filtering software
Abstract: The article discusses various online scams, resulted from surging gasoline prices. The author suggests to beware of web sites promising cheap gas, free gas, or savings of 60 percent at the pump, as according to experts, most of them are bogus, designed to collect personal information. With gas prices surging towards $5 a gallon, many people are looking for ways to cut their costs at the pump and some truly useful sites can help one hunt down the lowest gas price in his neighborhood. According to the report published by Better Business Bureau, with the surging gas prices, complaints about sites promising free gas but delivering only headaches and unwanted e-mails have also increased.
