I’ve received so many scam emails in the last few days, offering so many millions of dollars that I’m losing the will to comment. If any of it were true, I should be sitting on a sun-kissed beach, surrounded by blue seas, gorgeous hunky men and sipping cocktails. Unfortunately, I’m sitting on a sofa in […]
Yet another in a long line of scammers who thinks his “message will definitely come to you as a pretty surprise”. I have a, not so pretty, surprise for him. I get scam emails all the time. They aren’t a surprise. As for the millions of dollars, the only money the scammer is interested in […]
“Darlene Turner” has no idea who you are or where you live and certainly doesn’t have a “son (Kenneth” who wants to learn Chinese. Her aim is to send you a large (fake) cheque. She will probably then overpay you and ask you to forward some of the money to somewhere else. At which point […]
Isn’t it amazing how much unclaimed money there is (allegedly, according to the scammers) lying around in African countries. Comfortably enough to solve their debt and other problems. Why, I wonder, do so many African scammers think I will believe that there is all this spare money in such poor countries??? That’s your thought for […]
“Dr Paul James” writes to me from Lagos in Nigeria to tell me he works for Deutsche Bank in London, UK. Seems unlikely to me!!!! He has, of course, millions of dollars that he is willing to share with me. How kind. Just ignore this idiotic scammer, whose only aim in life is to take […]
A sneaky one this – although the scammer can’t decide which verification scheme s/he is targeting so they have gone for Visa AND Mastercard. If you think about it, your bank should know whether you have a Visa card or a Mastercard! If you open the attachment you will see a page where the scammer […]
“Brian Seedna” writes to me from Turkey to tell me he is in Ireland. Not a good start! He’s after your phone number so he can convince you that you need to start paying money for “fees”. Ignore this scammer. Dear Sir, My name is Brien Seedna from Dublin , Ireland . Base on good […]
According to the scammers, I’ve inherited so much money over the past few days that it is positively embarrassing. In fact, I could probably set up my own bank. If, that is, any of these ridiculous scam claims were actually true. Which they aren’t. Ignore this joker who just wants to take your money from […]
According to this scammer, a US courier service has “detected” that a parcel being sent to me contains a “card” worth $1.5m. If this was true (which it isn’t) how would they know the value of the card unless the had opened the parcel, stolen the card, and used it to see how much money […]
“MRS. EVA MORRIS” has emailed to tell me I’ve won her scam draw “held to promote West African 2011”. West African what, she couldn’t be bothered to tell me. Come to that, she couldn’t even be bothered to give her scam email a subject. Ignore this scammer, who only wants to get her (or his) […]
Oh look, someone I’ve never heard of and who has no idea who I am has decided to “will” me $155m! This must be a record, even in scam land. Most scammers cap their ridiculous money claims at a few millions. But hey, why stop at a few million when you can go for 155 […]
This is an old, fill in the blanks, style scam. The one blank that no scammer ever fills in is in the first sentence. “I have been waiting for you since —– to contact me”. No-one ever fills in since “when”. Are you expecting a bank draft from Benin? I’ll bet that you aren’t. Neither […]
“Josephine Eric” wants me to accept her apologies for not having sent me her scam earlier. Don’t worry, love, I get scam emails every day. It really doesn’t matter when you send yours. It’s just another contribution to this blog, after all. She tells me she is in Paraguay, which is clever of her considering […]
Oh yippee, all my troubles are over. Some random person, who I’ve never heard of, wants to send me millions of dollars that h has “discovered”. How kind of him. Not. “Mr Mills-Robertson” is a scammer. He doesn’t have millions of dollars and he certainly has no intention of sending any money to me – […]
I have a difficult decision to make this morning. Do I send this scammer $90 (for the non-existent package containing $720k, or should I send my money to the scammer I’ll post about in the next post, who is offering me a share of a staggering $49m????? Of course, I could save my money and […]
This scammer doesn’t believe in writing long, tedious, boring stories. Short and to the point. But still a scam. You aren’t needd to “claim some desposit”. This scammer wants you to “make some deposit”. Preferably into his bank account (or more likely Western Union) when he starts asking you to send him money to pay […]
Oh look, what a surprise. “Mrs Terra R Nicholas” is rich, widowed, dying, childless and a Christian. How unusual. And she wants to send me her money. She’s also a scammer and a liar. If you reply, this scammer will simply start asking you to send him money. Delete the email and don’t reply. HELLO […]
Rus Blackford has either had his email hacked, or he needs to find an alternative career. Being a student, or member of staff, at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital isn’t a good way to start a career as a (failed) scammer. If he’s a student there his career in medicine might also end before it’s even […]
This scammer has emailed me from the Ukraine, using a Brazillian email address to tell me that he or she has won the UK lottery and wants to give me some of their money. Do I believe him? Of course I don’t. Google aren’t in the business of giving out random emails to benevolent donors […]
It’s been a while since I’ve had a scam email claiming to come directly from the Governor of the Central Bank Of Nigeria. Clearly this scammer hasn’t realised that telling me his email comes from Nigeria isn’t the best way to get me to believe him. It’s Sunday and I can’t be bothered to read […]
Why do so many scammers think that a good way to start a formal business introduction (I mean scam, of course) is by addressing me as “Hello Dear”?? They don’t even know who I am. This scammer has no intention of securing a fund “to” your account and every intention of securing one “from” your […]
It’s been a bad week for rich, dying, childless, religious widows. Several of them have written to me offering to send me their millions. Strangely enough, I don’t believe any of them – and neither should you. They are all scammers, certainly none of them practice the faith that they claim to belong to. I […]
This scammer has even less to say than the one that I just posted before. 12 words is all it takes for him to make his scam loan offer. He can’t be bothered to even give himself a fake name or a fake business name or a fake address or a fake anything. He’s too […]
This scammer though he’d keep it short and to the point. Why write a whole essay when one sentence will do. It’s still a scam. There is no such thing as the unclaimed lottery yearly promo. This joker will start asking you to send money if you reply. Your email address has just won 900,000 […]
Firstly I am NOT “Mr David’s” Dear!!! Secondly you know as well as I do that you aren’t expecting $5million as an inheritance or lottery win from Nigeria or Benin. The only “Master Degree” this scammer is after is a degree in scamming. He’s hoping you are daft enough to fall for his scam and […]
Would you like to guess where this scam comes from? It claims to be “meant for Canadian and Usa Residents Only” and claims to come from the UK. It was sent from Beijing in China. Winchcombe Joinery are a LEGITIMATE company. This email DID NOT COME FROM THEM. This email is from a scammer who […]
“Mrs Grace Lee” aka Tmaulsby@Tulane.edu seems to think that a good way for paying for her university studies is to send me a scam email. It isn’t. Being a scammer is definitely not a good way of raising funds. It’s illegal, won’t look good on her CV, is likely to get her thrown out of college […]
Christmas is coming and I’ve been getting a positive deluge of emails from scammers, all after my money. Presumably they think they’ll try to raise a little extra cash for Christmas by trying to scam a few more potential victims. Sorry mate, it aint going to work. I know you’re a scammer, and so does […]
“Senator David Mark” sends me an email headed “the truth of the matter”. Clearly “truth” isn’t a word that he understands the meaning off, as he then goes on to tell me a pack of total, utter, unrelenting lies. This is yet another scammer who thinks that telling me he is from Nigeria will make […]
