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!

Important message

This is one of the least convincing Ebay scams.  I hope no-one falls for it.  If you do make the mistake of filling in the attached form, you will be giving the scammer all your bank and credit card information – contact your bank immediately if you think you have given this information to a scammer.
