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!

I’ve read this one three times and I still don’t understand it!  Whatever it means, it’s a scam.  I’m sure that if you make the mistake of phoning “Liz Monteroso” you will find yourself being asked for money.  If it isn’t a scam, it’s certainly spam.

[Edit]  It’s definitely a scam.  I just received the same email again, but this time from “Robert Sexton
Dir/Business Development, SPN Solutions,Phone: 800.481.2979, ext 2001″

Hello,

I represent a company called SPN Solutions, a company that does what’s
known as advanced search engine placement. We reach a Network of over
35 million people who are predominantly US based. Our Network is entirely
opt-in, and the users on our Network allow us to present them with a
preferred choice whenever they are looking for anything on the top sixteen
search engines. (GOOGLE, YAHOO, MSN and thirteen others.)

I seek one source to send the users on our Network, from the major search
engines, for courier services in various markets.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience. I am in the office
daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific time.

Best regards,

  • Hi
    I called the number in the email. When I got through, the operator came on and gave me a new number I should call (101 45 78#. She then went on to say that to call that number I had to be over 18 and that it would cost me $3.00 a minute.
    So obviously, these letters are definitely spam.

    Thanks for the tips.
