The Green Parent

If you’ve got an email address, you’ve more than likely been hit by spam. On an average day, my spam filter catches everything from phony PayPal sites that need to “verify” my password to requests from Nigerian oil ministers that are offering outrageous sums of money to help them embezzle cash out of their country. Each and every one of them are scams meant to defraud innocent people of their hard earned dollars. And now, unfortunately, the spammers have gone green. In a story reported by a New York Times blogger, the first renewable energy email scams have hit the web. It goes something like this…

“Everyday, every month, every years, and infinite, every climate change and this RETS is always a stable energy. This we can control the working of it and 100 percent for save and security in our planet. Now, the RETS have no patent for them, it is waiting you in this patent. We wish to protect the data and benefits together with you.”

I guess it’s true that green has finally hit the mainstream!

If you really want to support renewable energy, stick with a recognized certified organizations like Green-e.
