You Could Be Arrested On Horseback For Misleading E-mail Headlines?

Hey Warriors

Great title, eh? I was just reviewing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, policy regarding Internet Scams/Fraud, and I was into the e-mails section.

The RCMP has a list of misleading titles used by fraudulent companies looking to prey on people (illegally) for financial gain. I was looking through the well known e-mail headlines that are considered fraud, and one of them caught my attention. (And then another)

Now, whilst these are clearly different then most marketing messages I receive. If you look at the first one, it looks awfully similar to the FAKE "payment" e-mails that I get, and the "Your account is closed?" e-mails that I get a lot from different marketers.

Many variants of both of those titles have been used in a lot of marketing campaigns...

Clearly, although the e-mail may not have the purpose that the RCMP is writing about, they do reflect a spammy nature... So before you send out the fake payment e-mail, remember your not only getting your payment link out there, that mail may never hit their mail box.

(By the way.. The horseback thing, the RCMP has (and in some cases does) uses Horses for transportation)
