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!

Please Acknowledge!!!

For some reason “Mrs. Inna Gudavadze.” thinks it will come “as a surprise” that she tells me she is a) rich, b) widowed and c) just needs my help to move her money.  No, that’s not a surprise, it’s one of the most common scams.

Yes, it’s a scam.  ”Mrs. Inna Gudavadze.” isn’t rich, she isn’t a widow and she certainly doesn’t want to give you money.  She is hoping you will be taken in by her scam and start sending her money.

Delete the email and don’t reply.

Greetings,

I know that this mail will get to you as a surprise but it was due to a matter of necessity I contacted you over a business proposal which will be of great benefit. Let me quickly introduce myself, I am Mrs. Inna Gudavadze, the wife of late Mr. Badri Patarkatsishvili, the Georgian billionaire who was found dead at about 10.45 pm, Tuesday February 12, 2008 at his Surrey mansion. He was aged 52, a month after running unsuccessfully for the Georgian presidency, was one of the “oligarchs” who made a fortune from the privatization of state-owned industries during the Yeltsin era and eventually found a haven in Britain, where he was recently linked to a possible bid for West Ham football club.

My entire family is currently battling with the Georgian and Russian authorities over my husband wealth and as a matter of fact our family lawyer was arrested and currently in prison unjustly hence the reason i had to take extreme measures to contact you in this manner. As a result of my struggle with the authorities, all my banks accounts, both foreign accounts were frozen and properties confiscated except for a profiling cash amount of US$88.5 Million that my late husband deposited as consignment with a European firm shortly before he died, so i need your urgent help to secure these funds, since i can’t go for claims myself as it could lead to exposure of the funds and further confiscation by the Authorities.

For your assistance in embarking on this task, you will receive thirty-percent of the total funds once the transaction is completed. If you know you can do this, contact me immediately via my secured email: (gsina@inbox.ru) so that I can furnish you with more details but if my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.

Thanks for your understanding.

Cordially, ,
Mrs. Inna Gudavadze.

    Lol! Even the scammer’s name sounds made up–”Inagodadavida” (remember Iron Butterfly?). I think you should delete “her” message and forget she ever contacted you! Best advice from a scammer!

    if you read the newspapers and do a little research you will find that all that Mrs Ina Gudavadze claims is true, but i fear someone else is using her name and situation to scam people.
    Use google next time and search before you have a dig at someone!
