Delivery Problem NR2530997. UPS INVOICE NR1536853.

According to the scammers, I have had a run of bad luck with UPS, with two parcels being undelivered.  One was sent by “Margot Haines” and the other by “Burl Matcham”.  Both included a graphic with their scam text – presumably to my spam filter wouldn’t read it and then both included this highly informative line of text:

“Cars burned during racist attacks Soldiers in Afghan race against time Summary Box: Fannie, [Continue reading Delivery Problem NR2530997. UPS INVOICE NR1536853.]

Compliments of the Day

What a load of absolute rubbish.  ”Dr Paul Conan” doesn’t work for any bank and he doesn’t have access to millions of dollars.  What he wants is access to your money.  He is hoping you will fall for his scam, and then he will start asking you to send money to pay for fees.  Ignore him.

Greetings from miss Victoria,

The title of this email sounds like a Victorian novel.  Probably appropriate as the writer is clearly good at writing works of fiction.

This is a scam.  ”Miss Victoria” isn’t the daughter of a rich cocoa farmer and she doesn’t have millions of dollars.  What she does want to have is your money.  She is hoping you will fall for her story and start sending her money.  Ignore her.

Greetings from miss Victoria,

This scam loan offer was left as a comment by – the scammer himself!

How do I know the scammer left it?  Because the email address and name he left were the same as in this scam loan offer.  I think I’d call that an own goal.

I decided it was too good to leave as a comment, so I’ve “elevated” it and given it a post of its own.  Yes, Mr Fayed is [Continue reading Fayed Mohamed]

Re:

Whoever “Sarah et Lorene” are, they certainly aren’t students in Brussels looking for a cute man.  They are looking for a victim.  This is a romance scam.  If you make the mistake of replying you will find yourself being asked to send money to this scammer.  Do not reply.

Coucou

Merci pour votre réponse. Nous sommes 2 belles etudiantes sur Bruxelles de 19 et 20 ans Sarah mesures 1m63, 55 [Continue reading Re:]

TOYOTA INTERNATIONAL LOTTO AWARD WINNER

If the contents of my spam folder are to believed, I have won three different Toyota lotteries in as many days.  In fact, I am (allegedly) so rich that I could buy a villa in the South of France, hire a butler and housekeeper, retire and stop writing this blog.  Sadly I’m still here – and I’m still writing this blog.

Why?  I hear you ask.  Simple – non of these lotteries/lottos/draws are real. [Continue reading TOYOTA INTERNATIONAL LOTTO AWARD WINNER]

Funds for God Work

“Maria Charity” has picked a seriously inappropriate name for her scam.  She certainly isn’t interested in the blessings of God or his works.  She is a liar and a scammer.  The only money she is interested in is yours, which she wants to steal and use for herself.

If you make the mistake of replying, you will find that this scammer starts asking you to send money for fees.  Ignore her.

She doesn’t have [Continue reading Funds for God Work]

investment

The only investment “Arif” is interested in is his own.  He wants to invest YOUR money in his bank account.  He’s a scammer.  He doesn’t have access to millions of dollars, he’s just hoping you will fall for his scam and start sending him money.  Ignore him.

Attn,

I have business proposal of which i believe that i need someone to help me in some advise about proper and safe [Continue reading investment]

I await your response

I’m sure you know the reason why “Mr John Miles” has “withheld” the surname of the deceased.  Simple.  Because there is (or should that be was) no deceased who shared your “surname identity” because this scammer has no idea who you are or what your surname is.

If you reply, this scammer will soon start asking you for money.  The only “beneficiary” will be the scammer’s bank acount, which he is hoping to fill [Continue reading I await your response]

Re:

The only reason why “Tiffany” says “la vulgarité ne m’intéresse pas” is because she is after a victim.  She will befriend you and then, when she thinks you have started to trust her, she will start asking  you for money.  She (or he) is a romance scammer.  Someone who will suck you in and take as much money as they can from you.  Read the romance scams page of this site to see how [Continue reading Re:]
