Re: Nigerian Scammers using Intel communities to send private messages

Randy,

I agree that people who fall for these scams need to be educated on
internet usage. However, I also think that if companies like Intel,
Cisco etc want to maintain a Social Media presence for interacting
with their customer, they need to prevent their customer base from
such scams, phishing attempts etc. Setting up a SM for your company is
easy, but maintaining it is not so.

Another example is Cisco Blogs. Even though their blog comments are
moderated by "humans", spams comments still go through. See the
comment by Urlaub in Jesolo, for e.g.:
