Scam Victims

If you have been a victim of a scam, send me your story and I will add it to the Scam Victims page. I won't include any personally identifiable information.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING THIS BLOG.

ALL of the lotteries, draws, compensation schemes, inheritances, payment agent jobs, mystery shopper jobs and business proposals involving large sums of money that you receive by email ARE SCAMS. NO ORGANISATION ANYWHERE EVER holds random email draws. They are ALL SCAMS. You CANNOT WIN a lottery or prize draw that you HAVE NOT ENTERED.
Please don't post comments asking me if the scams you have received are real. I can't answer them all and you KNOW they are scams!

YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS DREW THE WINNING NUMBERS!(CONTACT: eml.jeffrey.rice002@gmail.com)

The UK National Lottery don’t hold random email draws.  The only way to win is to buy a ticket and check the numbers yourself.  Even if you’ve won millions of pounds they won’t contact you – you have to contact them.

“Mr Jeffrey Rice” is a scammer – who simply wants to take your money by charging you fees.

Delete the email and don’t reply.

ATTN,

This is to notify [Continue reading YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS DREW THE WINNING NUMBERS!(CONTACT: eml.jeffrey.rice002@gmail.com)]

Heritage Foundate

The Heritage Foundation don’t hand out random donations of large amounts of money to anyone that happens to have an email address.  And if they were going to donate money to you, do you really thing that they would have a Hong Kong email address??  Of course not.

Delete the email and don’t reply.  If you reply you will find a scammer asking you for money.

Your Response is Needed

Mr Lee tells me I should give his scam “SERIOUS AND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION.”.  He is looking for someone “TRUSTWORTHY”.  If you’re going to scam one, you wouldn’t want to find a victim who is untrustworthy and refuses to pay.

Yes – that’s right – Mr Lee is a scammer.  He doesn’t have access to millions of dollars and he certainly doesn’t want to give you money.  What he wants to do  is take money [Continue reading Your Response is Needed]

FINAL NOTICE

“Prof” Wady-ramahi writes to me from Jordan.  I guess no-one has told him that if you want customers (woops – I mean scam victims) you should be polite to them.   He tells me he wrote to me more than 10 days ago (aka “Sometimes Ago”) –  etc, etc, etc.

He’s a scammer.  Ignore him and don’t reply.  If you do reply he will try to charge you fees for your non-existent investments.

Please I'm Still Waiting For Your Response

Mr Saffe claims he comes from Florida.  He tells me that “If suddenly you have a desire to communicate with me” I should send him my “most confidential phone and fax numbers”.  How many numbers does he think I have???

Who cares – he’s not from Florida and he’s not a Captain in the US Army.  He’s a scammer who wants to get his hands on your cash by charging you fees.  Delete the [Continue reading Please I'm Still Waiting For Your Response]
