How Technology is used in society and how it affects it
The usual internet scams never end. They are often in the name of someone corrupt and famous.

The best spell caster
Am Alicia Campbell from California.I want to use this medium to tell you all about my spell caster.
Here is another scam email claiming millions for gullible victims.
Attention please,
I am Mr. azmanbinothman, I was an attorney to a deceased client of mine, who died of a heart attack in 2001, but before his demise, he had a deposit of (US$19,000,000.00) Nineteen Million United States Dollars with a security vault here as a family treasure which I'm aware of as his lawyer.
This is another scam within a scam. People who get scammed are approached by other (or the same?) scammers claiming they are officials trying to catch the scammers and get back the money for the victims.
However, those who claim to be officials, local or international, are scammers themselves and are often able to scam the victim for more money than the origial scam was worth.
Here is an example of a man in India who was scammed by a person claiming to be from the non-existent United Nations Intelligence Bureau.
