Popular Names Beware!…This Is The New Image Wrecking Scam In Town
There is a new scam in town.
And it’s targeting purely known names.
And in this era of name soiling in the name of politics, it is on the increase.
Here is the tactic employed.
An email is set up in the name of a target.
And damning messages about loved ones, or other people sent to “media” outlets for publication.
The Email Address is meant to give the “story” credibility.
Some of the stories are about frustration in marriages of the “sender” or those close to him or her , damning disclosures about husbands or wives and other family members, “revelations” that pitch others against one another and other “unveilings” that put the “sender” on the receiving end of a backlash after publication.
The scam is two-pronged.
While some do it to publicly splash mud on the image of the “victim(s)”, others engage in it for the “money” to be obtained from panicky victims in moves to erase the “troubling” material.
