Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
A lot of persons have been receiving spam e-mails with links to fake websites created to look like popular news websites Fox News and ABC News. The websites seem to be promoting and selling the weight loss product, "Raspberry Ultra Drops." I do not know much about the product, but I do know that the websites are fakes and DO NOT recommend purchasing anything from them. It seems that "Raspberry Ultra Drops" is in demand and scammers are setting up fake websites claiming to sell the product in order to steal their victims’ credit card and personal information.
I tried searching Google to see if I could find a legitimate website selling "Raspberry Ultra Drops" but, most of them are fakes, or looked suspicious. I recommend finding a popular retailer and purchasing this product from their local or online stores. As a matter of fact, I recommend ONLY purchasing items from popular online stores.
Below are some of the popular fake websites claiming to sell "Raspberry Ultra Drops". There are probably hundreds of other fake websites and a few created everyday, so if you have used your credit card on any of the following websites, please contact your bank and let them know that you have used your credit card unknowingly on a fraudulent website.

For some days now, my Facebook account had be hacked by some people sending messages to my friend in Facebook, using my name. I have change my password still the same. I do appreciate it.
It seems that the messages are being sent from a cloned Facebook account of yours. Cybercriminals clone Facebook users accounts and sent friend requests to their friends. Cybercriminals clone Facebook accounts by copying Facebook users' profile pictures and names.The friends of the owners of the cloned Facebook accounts will accept the friends requests, because they will think that the requests came from their friends, because the accounts that sent the requests have their friends' pictures and names.Tell your friends to send message to the accounts that are sending them the messages, asking the owner of the account questions only you would know. If the owner of the account sending the message is unable to answer the questions, they should unfriend the account. For information about Facebook Account Profile cloning, please click here.
Well, what I know is that someone hacked into my facebook account and was writing all my friends about this! I do not appreciate it nor will I put up with it. My password has been changed and if it happens again all h**l will break lose!

They can use your credit card to make fraudulent purchases or steal your identity.
So are they using our personal information or card number for something else?
I want to buy the rasp berry altra drop online pl.
Got this email from an old friend who I have never talked to for years. So this raspberry ultra drops email is fake. Don't buy anything from them!
My mom got this email. She thought it was real and ordered it. The drops have showed up.
I just checked on my recent log in activity for my email account and found that someone from India had logged into my account and sent out these spam emails from my address! So definitely change your passwords and update your security for your own sake.
The only thing you can do now is to set the e-mail message as Junk or Spam.
2/12/13 - also received such an email from a friend. What measures need to be taken to prevent this from happening again?
They are still there it happen today (2/9/2013)..got a email from an friend..saying this is good..fell in the trap..Call friend they never sent the email. Raspberry ultra drop.
My mom had this sent to all her contacts and she doesn't even use that email except for work! If you are a company that is doing this no one is stupid enough to buy your products anyway so just stop.
Tell your friend to scan his/her computer for malwares. Try Spybot Search and Destroy. It is also possible that the e-mail was not sent from him/her but, was spoofed. Email spoofing is a technique used to change the "From" address of an email, to make it appear as if it came from someone else.
got sent a spam email from one good friend!
Try Spybot Search and Destroy
Try Avast antivirus
Try ESET antivirus
I have got spammed about this product almost everyday this week. ANY COMPANY DOING THIS SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED.
My computer has been sending out these bogus emailed links for several weeks now. I have tried Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Super AntiSpyware, McAffee Total Protection and the latest Windows Defender. Nothing has located or stopped this sucker. If anyone knows of a product or method that will get rid of this, I would very much appreciate hearing about it.
I checked an email address that I rarely use. Apparently an email was sent out to all of my contacts a link to 12fox-news.com for this Raspberry Ultra stuff. Most of my unread email in that account was Delivery Failure for this. Fortunately, most of those contacts are disable accounts. The link were definitely suspicious.
Currently, it is impossible to stop persons from sending you spam e-mails. As one spam server it taken down, another replaces it.
How do you stop them using your email?
