How to not get scammed.
A billionaire sent me an email with one link to a Forbes profile to 'prove' their credentials.
That doesn't prove the sender's credentials.
It proves that there is a billionaire by that name.
He wants to give me $1m because he's feeling particularly blessed and wants to share with random people.
All I have to do is reply to his email and give him some contact details.
Not a hope in hell, buddy.
No sensible philanthropic billionaire would give any individual that much money because it would usually do more harm than good.
OK, this is clever because people are told not to click links in emails.
But this isn't asking you to click a link, just reply.
What's the harm in that?
This is a phishing email.
The sender is after your details so they can use your identity for fun and profit.
Not your fun and profit, theirs.
I checked the raw email text and discovered that the email was sent from a desktop email tool.
That's what the bulk emailers use, spammers, for the most part.
That is bizarre behaviour for someone who made his billions from a SAAS tool to use a desktop tool for sending emails.
All that did was confirm my suspicions.
No, I didn't click on the Forbes link either.
I searched the person's name to see what came up, and there was no mention of giving away money to random people.
Ahh well, I could have made good use of a lazy million.
The bottom line is always if it seems too good to be true, it is.

P.S. You won't make your first million overnight by building your email list, but you can build a solid online income by spending 30 minutes daily writing emails and growing your list.
The secret method to make that a reality is available here.
