domainname.com Available For Purchase

This is a rogue domain registrar hoping you be taken in by the offer of a domain name that is similar to one that you own and will then pay them three times the regular asking price.

The domain name they offered me was lulham.com which, they claim, is similar to lulham.co.uk (a domain they seem to think I own). Sadly I’d never heard of Lulham and had to look it up.  It’s  a [Continue reading domainname.com Available For Purchase]

ABOUT YOUR FUNDS IN CBN

Apparently this scammer has sent their email “ because of my belief as a Christian.”.  I’m not a religious person, but I don’t know of any religions (Christianity included) which encourage their followers to lie, cheat and steal. All of which this scammer hopes to do – because s/he is hoping you will start sending your money to pay “fees”.

I know that you might be surprise on this mail, but I am telling [Continue reading ABOUT YOUR FUNDS IN CBN]

YOUR COMPENSATION FUND WORTH $1,000,000.00 USD

Does this scammer think I’m a horse?  My pony (who’s 36) is in “perfect condition” (for her age, according to the vet).

If someone really was going to send you $m I seriously doubt that they would start by asking how you are today!

Ignore this scammer, who doesn’t want to send you money – he wants to take it from you.

Dear Friend

How are you today? Hope all [Continue reading YOUR COMPENSATION FUND WORTH $1,000,000.00 USD]

About Your Unpaid Funds

This scammer needs to read his or her own email before sending it.  By their own admission “The most annoying thing is that they cannot tell you the truth………….you may not understand it because you are not a Nigerian.”

This scammer IS Nigerian, and I understand perfectly well that he or she is not telling me “the truth”.

The only thing this liar is after is your money – which s/he will be more [Continue reading About Your Unpaid Funds]

ASSISTANCE

You don’t really think that an orphan with $11m would contact a random person, anywhere in the world and ask them to look after his money, do you?  Of course you don’t.  The only money “Ben Kwame” is interested in is yours.  He wants to steal your money, which he will happily take from you to pay “fees”.  Ignore him.

Greetings! My name is Ben kwame 17 years old, I am a [Continue reading ASSISTANCE]

helpdesk

This illiterate scammer can’t even decide what his/her own email address is.  It could be “helpdeskssupot@admin.in.th” or it could be “helpdeskssuportt@admin.in.th”

He or she also can’t decide which email provider they are pretending to represent – Gmail?? Yahoo?? Aol??  A N Other???

This scammer wants your email log-in details so they can log-in to your email address and send out their spam to all your contacts.  Ignore him or her.

Dear Webmail [Continue reading helpdesk]

URGENTAND VITAL PLEASE

I have no idea who the “UBA Payment Committee” are meant to be, or why they would suddenly decide to send me an ATM card worth millions of dollars.

These scammers amuse me sometimes.  An ATM card is worth nothing.  The bank account it is linked to is where the money lies.

This scammer has no intention of giving you anything – and every intention of taking money away from you if you are [Continue reading URGENTAND VITAL PLEASE]

Account bonus

I hope you can that this isn’t an email from the real Amazon.  Firstly, they never address you as “Dear Customer”, they always use your registered name.  Secondly, if you are due for a refund it will just be added to your account.  If they have enough information to email, they have enough information to credit any refund to your account.

This scammer wants your Amazon log-in details, hoping that you will have a [Continue reading Account bonus]

Respond back

I’m sure you don’t think a random bank official would magically discover millions of unused dollars and ask you, me, or anyone else to receive it.

This scammer wants to get access to your money, which s/he will happily take from you to pay for “fees”.  Ignore him or her.

I am Mr Ka Ling of Chong Hing Bank Limited,Hong Kong.I have $usd30,400,000.00 funds transfer/proposal for you,if interested send your reply to [Continue reading Respond back]
