Fake mails from GHPI and Blue People

by Tony Clifton [Your Program In Focus]

When I saw the emails in my mailbox this morning I was ready to remove Blue People from "Approved HYIPs" and put it and GHPI in Scam Warnings. 150% for 3 days and pushing you to deposit in 16 hours could mean only one - the programs were packing to run away.

The I read the mail again. Read it you too:

Important GHPi.org update - PLEASE READ - ACT NOW!!!

From: admin@ghpi.org <djdacho@gmail.com> (note the sender, you don't even need to look at the headers)

Dear GHPi member,

We got an excellent offer from one of our Real Estate traders:
** 150% profit for everyone, in only tree days! **

This is time-limited offer, so you should be quick.

Deposits are accepted until tomorrow 14:00 GMT, which means that you
have about 16 hours to make a deposit!

One unit in this special program is worth 100 dollars. Minimum
deposit is 1 unit ($100) and the maximum deposit is 50 ($5000) units per
member.

Deposits to our special program are accepted to Egold only, DIRECTLY at:
http://XXXXXX.e-gold.com

If you don't want to miss this great opportunity - ACT NOW!

IMPORTANT:
Please put your GHPi USERNAME in the EGOLD MEMO.

This is not public offer, it stands for GHPi members ONLY.

The most important thing is that this special program is GUARANTEED by
me, so you CAN'T LOSE your money!

This is ONE-TIME OFFER so you have to ACT NOW!

I am sure you already understand the email is fake. First the real sender is djdacho@gmail.com. Second, if the program owners were giving you an offer, they would give a link to invest from the site and not some e-gold account!

Such crazy offers are always a red flag, but this time not about the program, but the mail itself.

One general advise I would follow is to always confirm such offers by visiting the program's official site or forum. Sometimes the sender's address won't be so easy to catch especially for non-techies. But following the rule to always check the official sites will help you sift out such pitty scam attempts.
