The third scam of Christmas is the fake upgrade
As the Christmas spirit gets going we all send each other links to jokes and videos, on Facebook, by email and via Twitter.
Now imagine you arrive at one of these sites and it tells you that you don't have the latest Flash Player so you can't watch that funny video, but not to worry click here and you can get your upgraded player immediately.
Not only will this "upgrade" be malware but that malware will go on to send messages to all your friends telling them to go see the "funny" video.
The fourth scam of Christmas is the "current news scam"
People will use major world events to scam you out of money, regardless of how sad the event may have been. We saw it with Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Difficult to believe in a season of goodwill but before the aid agencies had reached the poor people affected there were already scam emails and associated websites asking you to donate.
They look genuine but don't be fooled. The money goes nowhere but to the scammers.
The fifth scam of Christmas is the illegal "cracked" download
Many will be buying laptops or other computing devices for under the tree.
They are expensive and there are many tempting offers to buy incredibly cheap operating systems, office products or other tasty goodies. There are even more tempting opportunities to download "free" copies of "cracked" pirated software.
