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!
What a lot of rubbish. As usual this scammer has a phone number. As usual, if you are daft enough to ring the phone will be answered. As usual neither the Police nor the mobile phone companies have any interesting in tracing the phone. That’s why these scammers continue. Because they know they can. They know that no-one is interested in tracing them. Mobile phones are perfectly traceable these days. These scams will continue [Continue reading Attention: Dear Prominent User of the Internet]
According to my inbox this morning I am the “lucky winner” of no less than three random email draws already today – and it’s only 11am. What’s a girl to do with such untold riches?
It’s a shame that the author of this scam can’t put their talents at using Word to better use.
I hope you realise from the sarcasm above that none of these draws are real. They are all scams. This [Continue reading CONGRATULATION YOU ARE A LUCKY WINNER]
Look at the email address this claims to have come from: “MRS. LUCIL PUAH <gcbbank1875@yahoo.com.hk>” yahoo.com.hk seems to be the scammers faourite email proider at the moment.
Unless you truly are expecting $4.5m, why are you even reading this? It’s obviously a scam. Just delete it and don’t reply, otherwise you will find yourself being asked for money by the scammer.

Usual story here. Mr Debe had a client who a) died, b) lost his entire family in a nasty accident and c) was rich. Mr Debe just wants your help to move all the money. Yeah – right – do you think I was born yesterday?
Mr Debe doesn’t have millions of dollars to give you. He’s hoping you will fall for his scam and start sending money to him. Ignore him.
I REQUEST URGENT RESPONSE]
Nothing new here. ”Mrs Brown” is a) dying of cancer, b) widowed, c) childless, d) rich, e) just wanting to send you all her money from Nigeria and f) a scammer.
Yes – the only one of the above that really applies to “Mrs Brown” is f). She’s a scammer. A scammer who wants to get her hands on your money by charging you fees. Ignore her.
GREETINGS MY BELOVED IN CHRIST.

By this scammer’s own admission she is an adult. But she claims she is “now living as an orphan”. All together now – aahhhh.
She doesn’t want to come to your country to continue her education and she isn’t going to give you 15% of anything. What she wants is to get her hands on your money. Most likely she will tell you she needs you to send her money for airfairs, or visas [Continue reading From Jennifer]
If you really had been sent a package by DHL, they wouldn’t email you – they would deliver it! That’s what DHL do – they deliver parcels. They don’t send out random emails telling you they have award packages. There is no such thing as the “Online Lottery Award Promo Board”. This is a scammer. Hoping you will fall for their scam and start sending them money. Delete the email and don’t reply.

I guess that writing this load of rubbish, with its made-up story about why you’ve won and who is awarding the prize, must have kept this scammer occupied for a while. What a shame they couldn’t put their talents at writing fairy stories to better use.
This is a scam. There was no draw and you (or me) haven’t won anything. Just delete the email and don’t reply. If you make the mistake of [Continue reading YAHOO LOTTERY RESULTS 2009]
If there was any truth in the random email draws which I am supposed to have won each day, I would be uber, mega, stonkily rich. I would be lying on a sunchair under a palm tree on a Pacific island sipping cocktails with a gorgeous hunky butler to answer my every whim. Sadly I’m not doing any of those things. I’m sitting at home writing this blog entry. Why? Because all those draws [Continue reading ATTENTION MEGA PRIZE WINNER.]
Same old story. ”Mrs Brown” is a new Christian convert, her husband died in tragic circumstances, she is dying of cancer, she’s rich, she has no children and – guess what – she wants to give her money to you. To add that extra touch of authenticity she tells you that her money is in Nigeria – the well known home of scams.
Do you believer her? I hope not. She’s a scammer. She [Continue reading GREETINGS]
