現地時間の 5 月 18 日、ソーシャルネットワークサイトの Facebook は待望の IPO(新規株式公開)を果たしました。株式の需要が発行株数を大幅に上回っていたので、この IPO は応募超過になるとたびたび予測されていました。 これほど注目を集めている IPO が、いわゆるナイジェリアの手紙詐欺や「419」詐欺といった先払い詐欺を狙う犯罪者の目にとまらないはずがありません。簡単に再確認しておくと、この種の詐欺は何らかの支援を要請し、その見返りとして莫大な資金を約束するというのが常套手段です。ただし、約束された金額を受け取るためには、あの手この手で求められる料金や手数料を前払いしなければなりません。請求は続きますが、約束された資金が現実化することは決してありません。 シマンテックは最近、「FACEBOOK (IPO) SUBSCRIPTION ...
