Scammers and Phishers

Unless I’m wrong, the British High Commission doesn’t have this kind of money to give away. If you receive an e-mail from them, delete it. It’s spam.

Another “William Simon” Boo-hoo spam making the rounds again. This poor schmo was supposed to be dead months ago, but he apparently hasn’t come into his cool millions yet. But don’t worry! “William Simon” has no terminal illness, and nothing that a lobotomy and jail time wouldn’t cure. Just delete this spam and stay safe!

I am presently [Continue reading DEAR BELOVED, MY WARM GREETINGS!!!!!!!!!]

Oh my! Someone I’ve never met, let alone heard of is “returning a favor”??? Well, not! He wants me to buy his sappy sweet little story about all this money on an ATM card, but I don’t—not even for a nanno-second! If you receive one of these, delete it and leave our “gratification-seeker” frustrated!

Yes, this “letter” is truly “amazing”! It also smacks of arrogance and greed, full of lies and—spam! There is not one ounce of truth to this, because I nor any of the “undisclosed recipients” have some weird contract for inheritance. This sort of thing just doesn’t exist. So if you receive one of these, delete it and be safe.

Yes, this would be “a great opportunity” for “Crobo Mark Loan Firm” to bilk you out of your money. So, if you receive this, just delete it and go to your reputable bank for any loans you need.

This is from the desk of Mr Crobo Mark loan firm, and is to inform you all that there is [Continue reading [ No Subject ]]

If this is such a sweet deal, you’d think it would be advertised all over, not just in some smarmy e-mail (“Dear Friend”). And beware of e-mails that start out this way—these spammers are not your friend! Put this spam where it belongs—in the recycle bin and don’t reply!

“The Real Truth Behind Your Inheritance$?” You have none—not from the Central Bank of Nigeria, anyway. This spammer wants you to believe you have all this so-called “money”, and he’s hoping you’ll fall for his “nice guy” routine. If you receive one of these, delete it and let “Elvis” find a different “blues song” to sing!

This is a spam e-mail. “Frank Chambers” is probably not “at JFK airport” as he claims, and he certainly has nothing of any importance for you. Do not “comply”, but delete this spam, thereby, grounding our spammer.

Here is another twist on the old FBI spam. The FBI does not involve itself this deeply into monetary crimes—they uphold the law, they don’t break the law. They don’t send e-mails to ordinary citizens, and they don’t “release funds”—they aren’t bankers. While the address looks legit, there is no doubt that it’s forged, and anyone can forge addresses and headers. If you receive one of these, just delete it.

My God! I thought either my eyes were playing tricks on me or that something had happened to the computer—this spammer must think that “her” intended spam victims are either almost blind or “she” really wants to grab your attention! At any rate, none of what “she” says is true—not even “I apologized”. There is no money, but ol’ Alice is sure hoping you’ll give her your money. And of course, she doesn’t want [Continue reading MRS.ALICE KABORE]
