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!

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 to help is herself – to your money.

The attachment came out looking as if it was written in a mixture of Greek and English.  It might have been scrambled in the sending.

Mrs Alexander certainly isn’t a Christian, she isn’t dying and she doesn’t have millions of dollars to give to a motherless baby home.  The only money she wants is yours.  Ignore her.

let us work to make the world better by helping the helpless.
If you are interested in working with me, respond so that I will give you the detail.

    Well, if you didn’t know it was a scam when you opened it, it wouldn’t take long to figure that out!
