Email Fraud Stoped with Woomail

    What used to be direct snail mail and telemarketing targeting the elderly has sadly turned to the Internet in the 21st century. More and more senior citizens and aging baby boomers are avid internet users; reading, planning vacations, banking and keeping in touch with family via email. Criminals and internet scammers, unfortunately, also realize the potential of online fraud, known as cyber scams and are targeting the elderly. It is hard to tell, in a sea of spam and swindles, what email is good and what is bad. A spam free, virus free email service that senior citizens have embraced with eagerness was created by Woomail (www.woomail.com ).

    Complaints from consumers 55 or older accounted for 24% of all online fraudulent schemes and scams in 2007. This percentage will continue to rise as the number of seniors and baby boomers who communicate online grows. The senior population, furthermore, tends to be more trusting and less suspicious than other generations. Most consumers over the age of 55 stated that they had no idea that in many cases, they were consenting to their personal information being shared or sold, when personal information is given voluntarily, or an online ecommerce form is filled out at an Internet retailer. An unscrupulous mass marketing firm or someone looking to defraud the elderly can purchase email lists for a mere pittance. From here, the vicious cycle begins.
