Free Astrology Phising Scam A Foot

The scam works like this:  You see a advertisement for your own free personal horoscope. You enter your first name, date of birth including the year and if you know it, the time of your birth and then your email address. The advertisement even includes a video of an astrologer that supposedly studied the stars for years.

The astrologer may say your horoscope may take 24 hours or more before they email you the results. You will probably think you're safe cause you only use your first name.

Now it comes: You get a email which asks you to type in "hello" and then send it back to them to confirm if your email address is real. 

Okay do you still feel safe?  Even tough filling out your astrology form you only use your first name; The email you send back will have your first and last name and now they have all your information.

If you did fill out the astrology form and got an email to ask you to comfirmed don't send it back to them, block them.

Now how accurate is astrology?  Once a year at our local  grade school kids are giving details about their personality traits base on their signs on sheets of paper. All of the students said the horoscopes were accurate and matches their personality exactly. But wait, they are then told to switch their horoscopes with someone else. They were all the same exact horoscope made up by one of the teachers.

Science debunks an  another superstition :)

Now if they say you gave them permission then get a lawyer and tell him/her you did not sign anything either physicial or digital.

Never pay attention to advertisments or even news for that matter on  the medias unless it is from legitimate sources like network news.
