Dear Scammer, “I have taken pains” to add your scam to this site. I don’t have any family members in Malaysia, alive or dead. “With interest at today’s value” the “said investment” wouldn’t be growing in value at all. As a member of a bank – have you not heard about the current world financial […]
March 2010
You are eligible for $182,50 refund.
How did I know this tax refund was a scam? 1) I live in the UK – I don’t pay my taxes in dollars 2) The UK Inland Revenue don’t email you to tell you that you are due for a tax refund, they write to you 3) My browser wouldn’t let me open the […]
FROM: MRS PROMISE KUMBO.
Presumably, “Mrs Promise Kumbo” thinks that if she sends her scam as an attachment, I or you or our spam filters won’t realise that her email is a scam. Sorry Mrs Kumbo, but I can spot a scam simply by the sender’s name. And – here is that attachment. Mrs Kumbo is the second scammer today […]
PLEA FOR THE CHAMANGA FAMILY
I can’t imagine why “Mr David Chamanga” thinks I “maybe surprised to receive this letter”. I get emails from scammers every day. Yawn – this scammer just tells me the old, old story about how his rich father died in tragic circumstances leaving Mr Chamanga needing my help to move his millions of dollars. Of […]
United Nations Liaison Office – Africa
“Mr Drake” doesn’t work for the United Nations and you aren’t really owed an oustanding payment of $450k – are you? Of course you aren’t, neither am I. All Mr Drake wants to do is take money from you by charging you fees. He even has the cheek to tell you how much to send […]
Can I Completely trust you
Scammers are just so unoriginal these days. “Miss. THERESA MGBOLI” tells me the old, old story of a rich father who died in tragic cirumstances etc, etc. Oh yes – and he was mega rich and Ms “Mgboli” just needs me to help her move her fortune. Or you could help her – or any […]
Hello
Yes – you know the story of this scam. Banker finds rich client has died along with family members in tragic accident. You (or I, or anyone else) magically has the same last name and we can claim millions of dollars. Not. There is no money. Jovan Azzie isn’t a banker, he’s a scammer. He […]
Your Urgent Response!!!!!
My reader said I should “pay close attention” to this scammer’s “handle”. Why did she say that? Because this scam was sent by “Outer kickjp <solomonelih4712@voila.fr>” A very professional name for a bank official – not!! Yes, you guessed it, Mr Elih doesn’t work for a bank in Burkina Faso, he’s a scammer who works […]
FUND NOTICE FROM BUZON ABC & FUND CONSULTANT
How odd. “Mr Samaras” has written to my reader to tell her that she has funds in Nigeria. Strangely, though, “Mr Samaras” doesn’t seem to know my reader’s name. He addresses her as “Hello Recipient”. I bet he called you that too, didn’t he? And all the rest of the millions of random people that […]
DONATION OF FAITH
A reader forwarded me this scam and commented that she’d heard of people donating books, clothes and even money, but she had never heard of anyone donating their faith. The only “donation” “Mrs Jones” wants to make is a donation from you to her. She’s a scammer – and she’s hoping you will send her […]
Subject:UPS Delivery Problem NR 57373
DO NOT OPEN THIS ATTACHMENT. I have no idea what it contains, but I’d be willing to bet that it is a nasty piece of spyware. If you did send a parcel on 26 December, and you think there really might be a problem then phone your local branch of UPS. Hello! Unfortunately we failed […]
Hi dear
I knew this was a scam before I even opened it. How? Because of the increasing tendency by scammers to address their potential victims as “dear”. I’m NOT your “dear” – you don’t even know me. This is a scammer – who has no intention of “helping the helpless” – the only person she wants […]
Mystery Shopping Available!!Apply Now
Ignore the title of this email. DO NOT “apply now”. Don’t apply at all. Genuine mystery shopping organisations do not send out thousands of random emails saying they have an assignment “in your area”. Which, when you think about it, means they don’t know who you are or where you are. This is a scammer. […]
HELLO FRIEND STOP CONTACTING THOSE PEOPLE.
You have to give this scammer credit for imagination. This scam was forwarded to me by a reader – one who was finding it hard to stop laughing. Why was she laughing? This scammer is, allegedly, called “Betty Belly” and she lives in the very aptly named “New Brainless” – probably a newly established town […]
Greetings to you
This scammer wins the prize for the best name. Dr.Caravan Marvis. I’ve been itching to award this prize for a long time – but I think we have a true winner here. (And my humble apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to really have been given the name Dr.Caravan Marvis.) I’m sure you realise this is […]
Alert Delivery Update
If this email really did come from FedEx (which it doesn’t), then it would be none of their business to know what was inside my parcel. And if the United Nations really did ow me $890k, do you think they’d send me a cheque – by courier? Of course they wouldn’t. I can think of […]
GREETINGS……….BUSINESS DEAL CAN WE DO THIS?
Tell me the old, old story. You know the one – barrister finds rich client has deceased leaving large amount of money. Surprise!!! I have the same last name – so do you – so does everyone of the thousands of people this email was sent to. Sound believable? Of course not. This is just […]
FUND TRANSFER ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS?
You aren’t expecting a payment from “Mr Williams” and neither am I. All this scammer wants to do is start stealing your money. If you make the mistake of replying you will yourself being asked to send money. Just ignore this scammer. FROM THE DESK OF MR.CLARK WILLIAMS OF FIRST NATIONAL BANK JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA […]
WINNING NUMBER: EPWL/010/190/222/751
For this scam – I can only reiterate what it says at the top of this site. You cannot win a lottery or draw that you haven’t entered. This is a scammer – one who wants to take money from you by charging you fees. There was no prize draw and you haven’t won anything. […]
PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY
The only reason that “Mr Zuma” tells me that the “keyword to this transaction is absolute confidentiality and secrecy” is because he doesn’t want someone like me exposing him as a scammer. Sorry mate – I just did. You’re a scammer. There are no millions of dollars. This is a scammer who is hoping to […]
