Swine Flu Scam
Hi
It absolutely astounds me that these scammers will jump on to any product or topic that they think will make them money, regardless whether it endangers life or not.
The latest topic to hit the news is Swine Flu, as I am quite sure you are aware of unless you have been in hiding as it has been relentlessly on the TV, in papers, magazines, on the Internet and every where you turn.
Spammers started sending out e-mails telling readers “Madonna caught swine flu” and “Swine flu in Hollywood” to lure people to pharmacy Web sites, according to McAfee Avert Labs, an online security company.
Three tips to avoid being scammed:
• Avoid opening e-mail from an unknown source, and don’t click on any links in the body of the e-mail.
• Don’t believe online offers for vaccines against swine flu.
• Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date to avoid your computer catching a deadly virus.
The scammers are offering you vaccines for swine flu using the scare factor. The vaccine that has worked in Mexico is called Tamiflu and is made by the Swiss company Roche.
Can I still die if I take Tamiflu – Yes according to Dr. Watkins of Cardiff University UK.
Does it have side effects - Yes, although not everyone will experience them.
Is Tamiflu a cure for swine flu – No its not a cure but it helps suffers to recover by relieving some of the symptoms.
Symptoms of swine Flu – Runny nose, sore throat and a rapidly rising temperature.
I am sure this will help
