MR ibrahim ZONGO

This scammer seems to think that his scam will come as an “utmost surprise”.  I can’t imagine why he would think that – I get loads of scams email each week.

All “Mr Zongo” wants to do is take money from me – or you.  He doesn’t want to share anything with you – just start taking your money by charging you fees.  Ignore him

Waiting for your call +234 80684 74302

This scammer starts by addressing me as “My Dear” – clearly he or she has no idea of my name.  I am then asked to send a load of personal details including my “driving lance” – presumably the scammer needs this so he/she can make a quick getaway through the traffic!

Who cares – this is a scammer.  One who wants your personal details and, having taken your identity, will then start asking for [Continue reading Waiting for your call +234 80684 74302]

Get out the violins and hankies, I feel a sob story coming on.  This scammer is trying to make you feel sorry for them – before asking you to send them money for fees.  Yes – this is a scammer – not a refugee in distress.  Delete the email and dont reply.

James Kerter

This scammer rather daftly left his scam as a comment on this blog.  I thought it deserved a post of its own – so here it is.  ”Mr Kerter” is a scammer.  He [Continue reading James Kerter]

REPLY(URGENT)

A reader forwarded me this scam.  ”Dr Chang” doesn’t “have a mutual beneficial business suggestion for you.”  The only person who will benefit from his proposition is him – he wants to steal your money by charging you fees.  He’s a scammer.  Ignore him.

This scammer writes to me from “fukutex ltda.”  Would you trust a scammer with that as their email contact????  ”Sarah Campbell” definitely isn’t a “Noble Woman” – she’s a lowlife and a rogue.  What she wants to do is take money from you by charging you fees.  Ignore her.

No Subject

Mr Shi Haixing is another lazy scammer.  Couldn’t even be bothered to give his scam email a subject.  Just ignore him.  The only person his proposition will benefit is himself.  He wants to steal you money by charging you fees.

Hello,

I have a business proposition for you that will be beneficial to us. I shall give you more details upon your response.

“Mr Steve Bryan” is a scammer.  A lazy one.  But then – why make up a long winded story, when you can just write one line.  It’s still a scam.  All “Mr Bryan” wants to do is take money from you by charging you fees.  Ignore him.

EL GORDO LOTERIA

“Susan C Dollar” has given herself a good name for a scammer.  The only “Dollar” she expects to “C” is yours – she’s a scammer, who wants to take money from you.  She’s a prolific scammer, she sent a different scam email, about a different fake lottery to a reader – which I reproduced here a couple of days ago. Just delete the email and don’t reply. FROM: [Continue reading EL GORDO LOTERIA]
