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!

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 no reason why the UN would owe me, or you , or anyone money.  If they did, they would transfer it to your bank account.

That isn’t going to happen, because there is no money – just a scammer hoping you are daft enough to fall for his scam and start sending him money.
