Never click on a link in an email from Amazon, Ebay, Paypal etc, even if it does appear to be legitimate. Go directly to the website, log in and if there are any problems they will be flagged up in your account.
This email was so amateurishly put together that it is obviously not real.
I’ve removed the link, but if you hover your mouse over it in the original email and DON’T click, you would see that it doesn’t even take you to the Amazon website. This is a scammer who is after your account details.

For some reason this scammer thinks it might “come to you as a surprise” that they have contacted you randomly out of the blue offering to send you US$52m. Strangely, I receive scam emails offering to send me large amounts of money on an almost daily basis. I certainly don’t find it surprising.
Do you really think that someone who doesn’t even know you would randomly send you millions of dollars? I hope you don’t. This scammer wants your money – and will happily take from you as much as you are willing to send him.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day, I know this mail will come to you as a surprise but I need to contact you because of the urgency and confidentiality of this business transaction, I am Chief Account officer of the Ghana Gold Mining Corporation (GGMC).

We awarded contracts for the supply and maintenance of all the Gold field and mining equipment for the nation gold mines to some foreign contractors valued US$103billion, which we over invoiced US$52million addition to the total contract sum.
Now as a matter of fact, most of the contractors have been paid and the remaining contractors’ payments are under process to be paid to them. With that, I and my colleague have decided to include you among these remaining contractors to process the sum of the US$52Million in your company or in your name to claim it for our mutual benefit. So i am now contacting you to present you as the sub-contractor who has this amount of US$52million to be paid for the supply of heavy mining equipment used in recent overhauling of the refineries and mining sites.
I will advise you furnish me with your personal information including your personal cell phone number and the name of your company with address to enable me register it with our cooperate affairs commission in charge of allied and companies registration as an indigenous company.
It is mandatory that any foreign company must be registered in this country. Also with your acceptance to execute this business with me, I need to be sure of your confidentiality towards the conclusion of this deal, you will be given 30% of the total amount, while I and my colleague will take 70% once the money gets into your company account in your country. Also with my position here, I can officially arrange with you to be lifting 40 or 60 Kilograms of gold per month by getting a year or two years Gold allocation contract in your name and company name whether you are here or not.

Pleased to meet you
The only person “Ortiz Ramiro” is pleased to meet is someone daft enough to fall for his story. Banks don’t randomly look for people to give unclaimed money to. That isn’t their job. If “Ortiz” was a real bank employee he would be sacked from his job and sent to prison.
But he isn’t a bank employee – he’s a scammer who is after your money, which he happily take from you to pay his “fees” for as long as you are willing to send it to him. Ignore him.
Hegoa Asociados
REF: ES.HIA/2015
I am confirming if you received my previous email regarding you having the same Surname with my late client/inheritance.My names are Ortiz Ramiro and I work with Hegoa Asociados & Abogados Spain. A legal representative and personal attorney to my client business magnate. Actually, I got your contact information through your country records while searching for a last name similar to my late client’s who was a business magnate that lived in Spain for over a decade prior to his death, he died along with his nuclear family during the Tsunami catastrophe.
Prior to my explaining further, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a predictable way of approach to foster a relationship of trust, but because of the circumstances and the urgency surrounding this claim. I decided to reach you via this media to join me to put claims on this fund before it is seized or confiscated by the authorities.Prior to the catastrophe; He deposited the sum of $7.4M (SEVEN MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) with his bank here in Spain. As the Attorney/Adviser to my late client and family, the bank has officially notified and instructed me to present heir/inheritor to make Claims, so that he/she can be paid the outstanding $7.4M, else the fund will be confiscated and taken to the Bureau of government treasury as unclaimed.
Ensuing to the above I embarked on exhaustive search for a direct family member to my late client which came to no avail. I was given an ultimatum to look for some relative to come for the claim or have the fund liquidated and made unserviceable in accordance with existing laws. After preliminary efforts of search for a direct family member which came to no avail, I decided to contact you; my suggestion to you is that I will like to present you as the heir/inheritor to this deposited fund). I know you may not be anyway related to my late client but having a common surname with him it is absolutely necessary for me to make it take the resemblance of an actual next of kin; this is where I need your assistance, although I know that a transaction of this magnitude might make anyone apprehensive but I would like to assure you that I am proposing this project to you with the best of intention as an attorney.
The modality I have in place, I can guarantee that if you follow my instructions (The rule of laws) and capitalizing of some judicial loop holes the funds will be released to us. Mind you that this transaction is 100% risk free; there is no atom of risk connected to this business as I have worked out all modalities to complete the operation effectively. All I require from you is your honest co-operation; I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate banking arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Upon successful conclusion of this project, once the fund is transfer to you, we shall disbursed the content in the ratio of 50% for you, 50% for me respectively as our benefit ($ 3.7 Million each).
Kindly indicate your responses to this mail either via my office email address, Email: otzramiro@aim.com as above or you can equally send a fax with your personal Telephone /fax number for effective communication and oral clarification on how to proceed next.
Kindest Regards,
Ortiz Ramiro

PLEASE GET BACK SOON.
The usual ridiculous story about a soldier serving in a war torn country who has magically found lots of money in a box. Surprise, if you help he will give some of it to you – or not. Probably not, I’d think. Being a scammer he will happily take from you as much money as you are prepared to give him – for fees, for travel, for anything he can think of and you will pay for.
Ignore him.

The usual story here of a mega rich client who died leaving millions of unclaimed dollars which you (a random person contacted along with thousands of others by email) can share. This scammer wants to take your money by charging you fees for the non-existent millions.
Hang Seng Bank Limited
83 Des Voeux Rd. Central
Hong Kong
My Dear Friend,
It is my pleasure to contact you after satisfactory appraisal and acceptance of your proven track records. I am Andrew Leung, Deputy General Manager; Head of Portfolio Management, Hang Seng Bank Limited, Hong Kong.
Following an opportunity in my office, I have a proposition I want to share with you, that will be of immense benefit to both of us. Herewith are the details of this proposition:
On May 6th 2005, an estate developer and one of the richest woman in Hong Kong, Late Mrs. Nina Wang, deposited Forty million five hundred thousand United States Dollars under our portfolio management department for a period of Two (2) years, and the deposit matured on the 13th of June 2007 with much significant growth which amounted to a total of Forty-Two million Seven hundred thousand United States Dollars.
Prior to the maturity of the said deposit, we got some news that Mrs. Nina Wang died of cancer in April 3rd 2007 and upon maturity, a routine notification was sent to her forwarding address but without responses. After a month, another reminder was sent from my desk and I discovered that the fund was deposited by her without informing anyone of her immediate family as this is peculiar to high profiled individuals. No next of kin was declared in her official papers including the paper work of her bank deposit and she also confided in me the last time she was at my office that no one except me knew of her deposit in my bank.
This sum of Forty-Two million Seven hundred thousand United States Dollars. is still in possession of my bank lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the funds. All material, immaterial documents and certificates relating to the funds is also in my possession. We cannot release the funds unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased and to this end; we have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to locate any relative of Late Mrs. Nina Wang.
Against this backdrop, I am proposing to you to stand in as the next of kin to Late Mrs. Nina Wang. Our banking policy here stipulates that at the expiration of Six (6) years such funds will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds. The money will be approved into your account and subsequently, we shall share in the ratio: 60% for us and 40% for you as gratification for assistance rendered. I will visit your country for the disbursement, according to the percentages indicated once this money gets into your account.
Please note that all our correspondences and communications will be strictly via email for now, as my official telephone lines are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our quality management policy. Do not contact me through my official phone numbers nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Please observe these instructions religiously.
Let me crave your indulgence in portraying sincerity towards this matter, as trust stands to be our watchword in this transaction. Our assurance is that your role is risk free to accord this transaction the legality it deserves as with all modalities in place we are certain in actualizing a hitch free transfer of the funds without any complications. My position in my bank already guarantees the successful execution of this project.
We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response. In the meantime, kindly signify your willingness to assist by sending me a message via my personal email: If for some reasons you find no interest in this project I want you to disregard this message and forget I ever contacted you.

Can you work for me !!!
Yet another scammer who seems to feel that adding exclamation marks to his subject line will make his scam look legitimate. It doesn’t, of course. In fact it’s a giveaway that this is a scam. This Rev claims to be a disgraced Catholic priest who just happens to have $9m. What???? $9m on a priest’s salary – I don’t think so. This scammer has no concept of religion and certainly doesn’t have millions of dollars. He’d like to, and he’d like you to send him as much money as you are daft enough to part with. Ignore him.
Dear Friend
Please take your time to read this message; although i know you will be amazed at the level of trust that i
am willing to place on someone I have never seen nor spoken with before. It is my condition that has prompted
me to do so. I have been disowned by the people I lived my productive life serving, Catholics!
Please my friend, i want you to swear an oath of secrecy never to mention this to any body not even your spouse
must learn of this, you must uphold this information am about to share with utmost confidentiality, fasten
and prayer. If this information get’s into the wrong hands or into the hand of any catholic they will go to any
length to jeopardize this course
My name is Rev. James Robinson, I am a 75 years old catholic priest of over 25 years. I was framed for sexual
offenses against minors in 1985. This was the work of my enemies who were against the reforms I pushed for in
the Catholic church.
I was sentenced in October 2010, after hiding in the USA for a long time. Since then I have been battling
with a heart condition and I know I cannot live any longer than I have done. I’ve decided to release to you
the total sum of $8,970,000.00 (Eight million Nine Hundred and seventy Thousand us dollars) deposited in
a offshore bank. I had wanted to use this money to set up an orphanage but since it is clear that may not
live to achieve this, i want to bequeath this money to you so that you will help me accomplish this dream.
As a Catholic priest, I had no child, no wife, and no family. The church i trusted all my life on has failed me,
so I have no other option as my days on earth are numbered. It’s true we don’t receive emails like this every
day, but today is a different day for you. I will turn 75 years a day after tomorrow.
I took this decision because I was raised in an Orphanage, i do not have relatives and thirdly, i will soon be
undergoing a major heart surgery of which i do not think i will survive any more knife in the theater. this is
why I have decided to contact you so that you can help me fulfill my last wish. As soon as i receive your
reply indicating your interest, i will furnish you will all the detail information’s you would require to claim
this money from the bank as my next of kin.
Regards
Rev. James Robinson
NB: Please remember to include your full contact information’s phone number(s) and address, if you are willing
to help me with this noble call.

This scammer wants your money. If you make the mistake of sending $89 they will know you are a sucker and will demand even more money. Ignore him or her.

Do you really think that the UN, if they were going to send you half a million dollars would start their email by saying “how are you today?”. Of course they wouldn’t. In fact this idiot really ought to get a job – because he’s clearly no good as a scammer.
He even thinks that tell you to contact his agent in Nigeria is a good idea. Fail. You know very well that you aren’t expecting compensation from the UN for anything. This is a scammer who wants to take your money to pay his “fees”. Ignore him.

Facebook Hoaxes
This is rapidly becoming one of my pet annoyances. People who pass on hoax Facebook posts without checking the facts first. People – anything that tells you to pass it on to everyone is almost always a hoax (there are a few exceptions). Don’t turn yourself into a spammer – because that’s what you are doing by forwarding incorrect posts. It makes you look stupid.
It’s easy to check – just copy and paste a sentence into Google. READ the results. Look for a post from Snopes, or Hoaxslayer, or keepsafeonthenet.co.uk. READ it.
Here is one example that was sent to me on Facebook just a few days ago:
Pay attention when buying toothpaste,
at the bottom of the toothpaste tube
there is a color bar. And do you only know
the original meaning of the color bar!
Try to choose green and blue, there are four kinds:
Green: natural;
Blue : Natural + Medicine;
Red : Natural + Chemical composition;
Black : pure chemical.
please share to all….
Clearly ridiculous rubbish. I currently have a tube of all natural toothpaste from a health store. It has a black stripe on it. They are packing stripes.
Another one that appeared on my FB was a fake privacy notice that I presume the poster fondly believed would mean that their photos and information could not be shared by FB. Here is some of it:
in response to the new guidelines Facebook and under articles L.111, 112 and 113 of the code of intellectual property, I declare that my rights are attached to all my personal data, drawings, paintings, photos, texts etc… published on my profile. For commercial use of the foregoing my written consent is required at all times! People reading this text can copy it and paste it on their Facebook wall. This will allow them to place them under the protection of copyright.
By this release, I tell Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, broadcast, or to take any other action against me on the basis of this profile and/or its contents. The actions mentioned above apply equally to employees, students, agents and/or other staff under the direction of Facebook. The contents of my profile includes private information. The violation of my privacy is punished by the law (UCC 1 1-308 – 308 1 – 103 and the Rome Statute).
Rather than explaining how ridiculous this is, I’ll refer you to Hoaxslayer http://www.hoax-slayer.com/bogus-facebook-privacy-notice.shtml who politely describe the notice as “Pointless and Misleading”.
I’ll just add –
a) if you don’t want people to see what you’ve posted on FB, adjust your privacy settings.
b) if you really, really don’t want ANYONE to see what you’ve posted on FB – don’t post it.
c) you signed their Terms and Conditions when you joined. You can’t change them to suit yourself. If you don’t like them, join another social network.
Business Transaction Deal. .
The usual blah from a scammer who claims to be a crooked bank official with access to millions of dollars which, surprise, he wants to share with me – or you – or any of the thousands of other people to whom he has sent this email. What this scammer really wants is your money which he will be quite happy to take from you.
I am Dr. Franz, member of the Executive Board of the Swiss Bankers Association and the Swiss Banking Ombudsman Foundation. The Swiss Banking Ombudsman Foundation is charged with the responsibility of the owners, beneficiaries and next of kin of dormant bank accounts within Swiss Banks http://www.bankingombudsman.ch.
The Swiss Banking Ombudsman Foundation also runs a Central Claims Office for persons searching for dormant assets.

As a member of the Executive Board of the Swiss Bankers Association and also a member of this committee (Swiss Banking Ombudsman Foundation), I am in a good position to inform you of this particular deposit that belongs to a Dead Politician without a registered WILL to the deposit made on his behalf by Cantonal Bank of Zurich to a London Safe Firm for so many years now. I have established communication with the Safe Firm to find out the true status of the deposit made with them. They confirmed the deposit with them and also request I present the beneficiary to come forward for the claim.
BUSINESS DETAILS:
I want to present you to the safe firm as the next of kin to the deceased, I have all the paper work in place about the deceased, and all information needed to make you the next of kin to enable you claim the deposited sum of $11 Million United States dollars with the safe firm.
I want to re-assure you that this business is risk free; once I present you to the safe firm they will immediately release the deposited funds to you without any delay.
Please do not contact me via my official channels for my own security.
More Comprehensive Details will be released to you upon your positive reply. Respond to this email; franzjaggi04@gmail.com

Your payment is now 100% Guaranteed,kindly get back to me
I don’t usually credit scammers with being right, but this one got one thing correct – ” KINDLY NOTE THAT SOME PEOPLE (FRAUDSTERS) HAVE STARTED MAKING FORGERY OF MY GOOD NAME”.
Clearly he speaks from a position of authority, as one of those (self confessed) fraudsters.
I’d love $10m, and so I’m sure would you. If you want that much money I suggest you purchase a lottery ticket. You are unlikely to win, but it will cost you a lot less than this fraudster will demand if you make the mistake of replying. He will then happily continue taking money from you for as long as you are prepared to send it.
Dear Beneficiary,
My name is Dr.Kingsley C.Moghalu,the deputy governor CBN.I was mandated by the President Federal Republic in conjunction with the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the Senate Committee on Foreign Debts Reconciliation and Implementation Panel on Contract/inheritance/compensation funds to complete all the unpaid Contract/inheritance/lottery fund. You are required as a matter of urgency to reconfirm your information including your name, phone number and your address for verification and immediate payment within 24 hours.
To this effect, the sum of TEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$10.7m) has been approved for you. I wish to inform you that all matters relating to the release of this payment is now under my control and supervision. This development has become necessary due to the activities of unpatriotic government/CBN officials and impostors who keep on frustrating every effort to settle our clients by making requests for unauthorized fees and levies from them.
We apologize for any delay you might have encountered in the past; your payment is now 100% Guaranteed
Kindly choose from these three modes of payment(wire transfer, diplomatic cash payment and ATM card).
Best Regards,
Dr.Kingsley Moghalu
Deputy Governor CBN
NB: KINDLY NOTE THAT SOME PEOPLE (FRAUDSTERS) HAVE STARTED MAKING FORGERY OF MY GOOD NAME.
Cyber Investigation Bureau
OK – I can see this is another one of those posts that I am going to have to make really, really clear as people are leaving comments (which I’m deleting) leaving their personal details and asking these SCAMMERS to contact them.
So, for clarity, there is no such thing as the Cyber Investigation Bureau. THEY ARE SCAMMERS. I don’t think I can make it clearer than that.
This message was left 3 times as a comment by a scammer. Each time on posts about fake lotteries. Obviously, in the interests of research, my online alter-ego couldn’t resist forwarding a scam lottery email to them to see what the reply was. I expect you can guess. I am told that I am the victim of hackers. I have actually “won” the lottery and I’m given an email to reply to. My alter ego will, of course, reply. In the meantime I’ve posted the scammer’s answer underneath their original scam comment.

I’m sure you’ll notice that the scammer gave the address of a bank in his original email. So my online alter-ego claims that she posted her documents to the address given. This is giving the scammer a bit of a problem. Obviously he can’t receive them as he doesn’t actually work for the bank. So he has written to tell her that her documents will be returned.
If you have sent your documents via post, kindly note that it is likely going to be returned.
You are required to send all required documents via email attachment only.
Regards,
Graham.
She has written to ask why they would be returned and why he can’t just copy them.

Spam Comments By ksmachines.com
I am becoming increasingly ****ed off by idiots who leave spam comments on my websites. Just today someone tried to leave 3 adverts on a stolen property website. These guys clearly can’t even read – would you want to advertise that your business has been stolen? Would you want the world to know that you are unable to read? I doubt it. ksmachines.com apparently are happy to leave illiterate, poorly written spam comments.
Please ignore this company.
GOLD DUST FOR SALE
This ridiculous email claims to have come from free@dust.org. In the interests of thorough research, I took a look at dust.org. Do you want to guess what it sells? Gold dust? No. Gold jewellery? No.
Books. Yes, really, it sells books.
This idiot has no more intention of selling you gold dust than he has of flying to the moon on a banana skin. He’s a scammer who is hoping to steal your money.
Hello Sir/Ma,
We are small scale Gold miners here on the sub-region of West Africa, Accra, Ghana.
We have alluvial Gold Dust for sale at a considerable Price which is below world market price.
If you are interested, do not hesitate to get back to us as soon as possible for us to give you our full co-operate offer (FCO).
We look forward in doing a long lasting business transaction with you.

Mr Freeman Attah.
URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL (urgent response required)
“Mrs Salgado” spins some ridiculous story about being a member of a bank in the Netherlands. However nobody, anywhere, is going to randomly offer millions of dollars to a stranger. Also, I would imagine that a genuine bank would manage to keep the clocks on their computers up to date. This email was sent from a computer that thinks the date is 01/11/2004
It appears this message was sent from China (61.164.42.158) – probably by a scammer sitting in an internet cafe. Ignore this scammer who is after your money.
From: Mrs Jennyfer Salgado
I am Mrs Jennyfer Salgado and has been a member of the Board of Audit Committee Abn Amro Bank Amsterdam Netherlands. I contacted you as regards to a business proposal that will be of an immense benefit to both of us and the less privileged ones. I discovered a sum of US$21,000,000.00 Dollars Only (Twenty One Million Dollars Only) in an account belonging to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Moses Saba Masri. He was a Jewish business mogul from Mexico that died on a helicopter crash on January 2010. Mr. Saba was 47-years-old when both his wife, and the only son Avraham (Albert) and his daughter-in-law died in a helicopter crash. You can get more information’ as regards to the crash and the death of our late customer Mr. Moses Sabna on the website address below.
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3832556,00.html?
The choice of contacting you aroused from the geographical nature of where you live particularly due to the sensitivity of the transaction and the confidentiality herein. Now our bank has been waiting for any of the relatives to come-up for the claim of the inheritance fund but unfortunately all efforts has been void. I personally have been unsuccessful in locating neither the relatives nor any next of kin to Mr. Saba. On this regards, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / will beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$21,000,000.00 can be paid to you.
This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages 50% to me and 50% to you. I have secured all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up this claim we are about to make. All I need is to upload your names to the documents and legalize it at the Nederlan High Court in order to prove you the legitimate beneficiary. All I require now is your honest co-operation; confidentiality and trust to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you 100 % success in this business.This transaction will be executed under the ambit of the law and this will protect you from any breach of the contract.
Please provide to me the following information as we have 7 working days to run it through:
1. Your full name:
2. Telephone number:
3. Contact address:

G20 Global Award
I have no idea who G20 are or any idea why they would suddenly decide to send me $861,937. Do you find it somewhat odd that they are going to send you the same amount? It is odd, because this scammer has no intention of sending you anything apart from emails asking for your money. Ignore him.

New Document has Arrived
I don’t usually publish scam bank emails anymore, because I hope you know that you should NEVER click on a link in a bank email, even if it does appear to come from your own bank. ALWAYS enter the address of your bank’s website directly into your browser.
So why have I published this one? Because the idiot that sent it got a bit confused. He sent a fake Santander Bank form, but the links on his page all go to the Abbey National bank!
This is an automatic message by Santander Billing Team

Ask yourself this – would someone who will lend you $500m USD send you a random email from a yahoo email address? I seriously doubt it. Anyone lending that amount of money would have to work for a seriously major company, which clearly this idiot doesn’t. The only company he works for is himself and the only money he is interested in is yours – which he will happily take from you to pay the fees for your non-existent loan.

0161 738 1501 – 0238 098 3709
I have just received a phone call from this number 0161 738 1501. I suspect it is yet another PPI scam, but can’t be certain.
The call was a recorded message about my “outstanding refund”. I was told that “Due to current legislation, failure to act today will reduce your refund value”
I was told to press 5 to speak to an adviser. My guess is that this would involve a premium call.
If you dial the number that called you, you will get a recorded message that says:
“We are sorry for keeping you waiting. Your call will be answered as soon as possible”. The phone then goes dead. Clearly they have no intention of answering you.
I’m being plagued by these calls, as I’m sure we all are.
They are now using this number: 0238 098 3709.

Part Time Job Offer.
This fake job offer has nothing to do with Costa Coffee and everything to do with a scammer. No company anywhere ever needs random people to collect payments for them. I can’t imagine that a large company such as Costa Coffee would have “difficulty in reaching” their clients.
If you make the mistake of replying you will probably find yourself being sent a fake cheque. You will be asked to pay it into your account and forward most of the money to the scammer. After which, your bank will find the original cheque was fake and you will be left out of pocket with no way of recovering the money.

Tax Refund New Message Alert!
Have you noticed how many scammers like ending the subject line of their scam emails with an exclamation mark?
It’s a new year, so it’s time for a new round of fake tax refund emails. The Inland Revenue don’t email you if you have a tax refund due, they write to you.
DO NOT OPEN the attachment to this email which, I suspect, will contain a trojan.

A cautionary tale – from the Daily Mail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2253989/The-internet-present-ruined-family-Christmas-Tony-Rennell-thought-dream-gift-son-conned-money-fraudulent-website.html
This poor man thought he would surprise his son with tickets for a Chelsea football match. When he couldn’t purchase tickets from the club, he thought he would look on the internet.
Nothing wrong with that – except that you NEED to do your homework before purchasing. MAKE SURE that you use a reputable agency if you are purchasing tickets for an event via the internet.
Due your due diligence
If you find a website offering tickets, start by typing its name into your favourite search engine. A quick search for online ticket express shows this:
That should ring alarm bells, and start you searching for more information.
There’s an old saying, that holds very true on the internet – “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”.
There are reputable ticket agencies out there, but you need to do research to find them.
What to do if you are scammed?
onlineticketexpress.com is registered with Godaddy.com and hosted by dnsmadeeasy.com. Both of these companies are based in the US.
If you feel you have been scammed by a site, first enter the domain name (www.thewebsite.com) into a whois website, such as who.is or whois.com
This will tell you who the domain name is registered with and where the content is hosted. If the companies are in the US, you could write a formal complaint to the registrar, the host and the FBI. Sometimes this will work and the site will be removed. You can also write a formal complaint to any payment processors the site is using – for example, paypal, worldpay, etc.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON FROM FBI!!

Your Fund is in our Airport already
A reader sent me this little gem. They received an email claiming to come from an inspector an Atlanta Airport and claiming that there was money in a consignment box ready for delivery to the receiver. Clearly this is a scam, so my reader decided to have a bit of fun and sent “Dr O’Brien” a false name, address and contact details.
“Dr O’Brien” emailed back claiming he had paid the $3700 but (surprise!!) he was short of money and asked my reader to send hin $950. He also attached a scan of what he claimed was his driving licence.
Google image search is a wonderful thing. The photo on the license has been stolen from the profile of the Chancellor of a Children’s Hospital. In deference to the real person in the photograph, I won’t reproduce it here. Just remember, scammers can easily steal photos from the internet to make up fake documents.
Below are the original email my reader received, plus the email where the scammer starts asking for money.
Hello,
I am Dr. Martins O’Brien the Assistant Director Inspection Unit/United Nations Inspection Agent in Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport Georgia USA. During my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from London and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a metal trunk box. The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as ?MONEY? rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD.
On my assumption, the box will contain about $2.5 Million to $3 Million and the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport Georgia till date. The details of the consignment including your name, your email address and the official document from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Metal Trunk box.
However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise you provide your current PHONE NUMBER and FULL HOUSE ADDRESS, to enable me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official documents including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please note that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, I will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise you send the required details to my private email address which is (martinsbrien@gmail.com) for quick processing and response.
Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 3-6 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.
I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. You can call me on my telephone number +1-970-463-7578
Mr. Martins O’Brien

——————–
Hello
Thank you for your mail. Attached is a copy of my driver’s license, the consignment I am inspecting and also the receipt I used in clearing it I need your response as soon as possible and feel free to call me I have been able to secure the release of the consignment after a heated negotiation with the airport vault authorities. I have also paid for the Non Inspection fees of $3,700 which was the main reason the Diplomat abandoned the Consignment because he was unable to pay the fee but after making payment I have been required by the custom airport authority to settle the accumulated demurrage fee of $1,980.00 Otherwise, the flight company would not board me. I am left with only $1,030 after paying for the Non-Inspection fee. This process requires me to make the payment to their paying office here before they will issue the final receipt paper. This receipts serves as an evidential prove, thereby satisfying luggage as genuine and legitimate having passed Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport Georgia satisfactory examination.
It have become imperative for you to support at this point, so that, I can complete the money. What is left now is $950. Due to the exigent situation, we need to round this up fast. Do try and send the $950 to the receiving officer, whom information is below, I will be going to pay $1,030 immediately to complete the needed $1,980. Remember that this cost is for me to pay for the accumulated demurrage fee and proceed immediately with the box to meet you within the next few hours. It is also unanticipated cost which I did not bargain for hence your understanding and assistance is highly needed. It will also prove to these authorities that this consignment belongs to you, as part payment was received from you to them, it will clearly indicate that you instructed me to assist you in clearing your consignment out of the airport, as your inability to travel down. I want you to know that I will be taking the next available flight to your City, and I will like you to have your phone close to you, because I will need your directions, as soon as I arrive your city, I don’t want to be stranded when I arrive your city, I hope you are clear with this?
You are to send the money through Western Union or Money Gram to me using my personal assistant name Debra Castillo:
Name of receiver:Debra Castillo
Address: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Amount:$950
This is the only role you are to play in this delivery process. I shall leave Atlanta to meet you once the payment of $950 is received from you and pay for the demurrage. I hope you recognize my effort so far in this process, in ensuring a safe delivery and to guide against any unforeseen circumstance. I will be wearing a white jacket with a Hartsfield white face cap and I have attached here my passport for facial recognition at the airport or when I arrive at your city. FOR MORE CLARIFICATION PLEASE VIEW THE ATTACHED FILES, I HAVE ATTACHED MY DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR IDENTIFICATION RECOGNITION, WHEN I ARRIVE YOUR CITY, AND THE PICTURE OF THE CONSIGNMENT, WHICH I TOOK THIS MORNING, AND RECEIPT OF PAYMENT, YOU WILL FIND 3 ATTACHMENTS FILE WITHIN.
Do you intend to meet me at airport or do I rent a cab to your address or hotel? Let me know this quickly, importantly I have also attached the receipt of payment for the non-inspection fee. I will send you a copy of my flight schedule as soon as I get the payment information to complete the release of the consignment. Am so happy that we made progress, expecting to see you soon (Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. Delays are always behind them; this is why they always achieve victory).
I am waiting for the payment information from you.
Regards,
Dr. Martins O’Brien

Phone Call – Your Card Has Been Used
I have just finished reading this article in the Daily Mail – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2249752/A-999-credit-card-scam-cost-thousands.html
It’s a salutory lesson. The Police DO NOT phone you if your card details have been stolen/cloned. I know, because it happened to me. Two years ago my own card details were stolen. Not the card, I still had that, just the details. Like this story, the card was used to purchase items from Apple.
I found out because my bank spotted unusual use, blocked the card and wrote to me. They didn’t need to confirm who owned the card, they didn’t need the pin number to block it. They just blocked it. Then they wrote to me.
One of the giveaways in this story in the Daily Mail is that the fraudster told the victim that they needed details of ALL their cards. If you still have your card(s) in your possession (as I did) then it is almost impossible for the details of more than one of them to be used by thieves at any given time. They haven’t got your cards – you have them. Therefore, if your details ARE being used, it is because the details of one of them have been cloned, for example in a restaurant or petrol station.
Here is my advice:
Phone Call Claiming to be from the Police/your bank
NEVER, I repeat NEVER give your card details to someone over the phone unless YOU chose to ring THEM (for example, if you are making a purchase). It is easy and understandable to panic if someone phones you and tells you there is a problem. I’m sure I would do the same, and I doubt if I would be thinking clearly and logically.
If you do get one of these calls use another phone to phone back. Don’t use any number given to you by the caller. If it is about your bank account, go onto the internet and get a legitimate phone number for your bank. Use your mobile, if the caller rang your landline or use your landline if the caller rang your mobile.
Letter Claiming to be from your bank
Letters can also be faked. Look for the clues. Are you addressed by name? Check on your bank’s own website, or phone your local branch to verify the phone number given in the letter. Call the main number on the bank’s own website. The bank’s call centre should be able to put you through to the department who wrote to you, if it was a legitimate letter.
I think I’ve Fallen Victim to a telephone bank scam
Try not to panic. Telephone your bank IMMEDIATELY you realise what has happened. They will block your card immediately.
You cannot win a lottery or prize draw that you have not entered. No organisation anywhere ever holds random email draws. They don’t exist.
If “president Barrack Obama” and his “campaign team” really had organised a lottery (which they didn’t) why on earth would they use their “Afro booklet representative office” in Africa to pay you?
Just ignore this idiot, who is a scammer wanting to get his hands on your money.

If someone really was going to send you $25m, do you think they would start their email with “Dear Pal”?? I don’t. I think they would contact you formally through a legitimate lawyer. Of course, if you’re a scammer, that doesn’t apply.
Dear Pal,
I do hope my email meets you well, I am LTC. Frank Newton U.S. Army in Iraq. I am writing you this email to ask for your agreement to receive the sum of $ 25 Million on our behalf.
The question is can I trust you? My partner and I are in need of a good partner, someone we can trust to actualize this venture and found your contact online. The money is from oil proceeds and legal. But we are transferring it via the safe passage way of a diplomatic courier without any risk or any string attached. If you are agreeable get yourself a deal and reply to my private email: f_newton1@aol.com
Once you receive the funds, keep low social profile and take an awesome reward of 30% and custody our share for further evaluation on whether you are good enough in our assessment to invest our share when we review your bu siness proposal. We seek your confidentiality in this business transaction and await your response as I wish to furnish you with more comprehensive details and what is required of you.
It is unfortunate that we cannot call you on the telephone for security reason, if you have a webcam, then we can have a face-to-face meeting and discuss.
I await your urgent reply.
Your Buddy,
LTC. Frank Newton.

If “Barrister” Charles Edward really was a barrister you would think he would have better things to do than sit at his computer adding ridiculous animated gifs to an email. He isn’t a barrister, and clearly he doesn’t have anything better to do. I guess if you are a scammer sitting in an internet cafe stupid things like that seem really important.
Just ignore this idiot who wants your money.

Oh look – more unclaimed millions in Nigeria. The streets of Nigeria must be paved with dollar bills, at least they could be if the scammers were telling the truth. Which they aren’t.
“Dr.Miss. Liling Yao” sounds a little confused, poor dear. To me her name sounds more Chinese than Nigerian – although her email was sent from Ibadan in Nigeria. She also can’t decide which title to use – Dr or Miss.
Just ignore her. All she wants is your money – which she will happily take from you for as long as you are daft enough to send it to her.

Opportunity for us to make profit..
I’ll say one thing for this scammer, he tells a cracking good story. It’s not the usual story of dying of cancer or finding millions of unclaimed dollars.
It’s still rubbish and the only person who will make a profit is this scammer. If you are daft enough to fall for his story he will start asking you to send money to a third party.
ATTN : My Dear Friend,
I write to solicit your collaboration and support to enable us execute a very lucrative and high profiting business transaction. I am very sure that with trust and understanding, we can be able to execute this business to our mutual benefit and believe that you will not let down the trust I am willing to repose in you. I work for an Ivorian based public international firm (a MIC), I work as the corporate affairs manager. Between the 17th -19th of may, 2011 a business seminar was held in Yamoussoukro Cote d’Ivoire of which I attended. While in the Seminar, I was opportune to meet a renowned Farmer who happen to be the 15th President of a family farm, he is an accomplished and widely known and recognized millionaire farmer in this part of the region. He has farms in different countries. Above all, he is one of the greatest supplier of cattle, beef and other diary products in this part of the coast.On getting to know my profession, Alhaji the farmer took me into confidence by informing me about the purchase of a particular but very important medicine for his cattle. He informed me that he buys this product at $5,000.00 USD per carton, and that he mostly buys to the excess of 450 cartons. He informed me that he would like me to find out if my organization could source for him a cheaper supplier considering the recent trend of falls in the general price of beef in the world market which is affecting his business. Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with my boss and he decided to handle the supply by himself. We carried out a market research and discovered that we could purchase these medicine somewhere cheaper in Europe for $2,200.00 USD per carton .
We moved a proposal to them to supply at $4,800.00 USD per carton of which his farm company accepted.Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an agreement with my director to be receiving 15% of whatever gain is made on each supply of which he agreed. But on the completion of the supply and the receipt of the payment,my boss renegaded on our agreement and refused to give me my share of the profit. Since then our relationship has been soiled. I have since accepted it as one of life experiences. However, as faith would have it, recently, I ran into Alhaji and he informed me that he would want us to urgently supply him with 1,250 cartons of the same product before the year 2013. I used the opportunity to inform Alhaji that I can introduce him to the main producer of this vaccine who can supply him the product at $4,400.00 USD if he will pay in advance as he usually does. He was very pleased and has assured me that he is not going to contact my boss again for this vaccine. He is now waiting for me to link him to the producer of the vaccine. We will buy the medicine at$2,200.00 USD from the manufacturing company and sell at $4,400.00 USD to Alhaji, with him making a down payment of 50% of our quoted price first. If you are interested and capable of handling this supplies on my behalf, kindly get back to me urgently through my e-mail, so that we can agree on the terms and a point in time should you let Alhaji know that you are not the producer of the medicine and we should never allow him to know the contact of our real source in EUROPE so that he wouldn’t by pass us to deal directly with them. I wait for your response.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
Mr.Sammuel.
Attention:Beneficiary
This is an example of how the beneficiary scammers work. An online contact received this email about funds she was supposed to have received. She replied and immediately the scammer started asking for money. She was told she would have to pay $285 to the supreme court of Nigeria for a certificate. You can see the scammer’s second email below.
Of course, my online contact told the scammer that she already has the certificate. If the scammer replies, I will update this post.

This is to inform you that the ad-hock committee of funds payment and transfer had a brief meeting yesterday, and it was agreed that all transfer must been completed within the next 72 hours. Also that all bonifide beneficiary must present a FUND AWARD CERTIFICATE, which must be issued by the supreme court of Nigeria. This certificate will stand as the legitimacy of this transaction, and proves you as the real owner of your claim.
If you have obtained this certificate in the past, quickly forward it immediately for your transfer to commence, but if you have not obtained it, then you have to obtain it through the supreme court of Nigeria, the court charge for this certificate is only $285 which must be sent directly to the court via western union.
Finally, i have been instructed by the bank to inform you that their is no other payment or fee needed, once you provide your award certificate, you are not required to pay any other sum to get this transfer into your bank.
I will be waiting for your swift response.

Important information
Have you noticed how many millions of spare dollars there seem to be in Nigeria – all just waiting to be sent to random foreigners? I don’t know of any other country that is, allegedly, so keen to send so much money to so many foreigners.
It’s all rubbish, of course. Nigeria isn’t full of unclaimed billions just waiting to be sent to you or me. This is yet another scammer who, for some unaccountable reason, seems to think that telling me his scam comes from Nigeria will make me believe him. It won’t.

All these business directories that send you random emails are just money making schemes. They serve no useful purpose and you would never load up a spreadsheet and search through if you were looking for a product or service. You’d go straight to your favourite search engine.

FinCEN is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury; it exercises regulatory functions primarily under the Currency and Financial Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended by Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and other legislation, which legislative framework is commonly referred to as the “Bank Secrecy Act” (BSA). The BSA is the nation’s first and most comprehensive Federal anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) statute.
This office has stopped further delivery of a Zenith Bank ATM card that needed clearance from this office before getting to your resident. Reason being that according to LAW such amount of fund must be fully legalized and its source ascertained before it is allowed to enter the country. This process is legal and approved by the United States Justice Department, and it is mandatory for the success of your ATM delivery.
For the success of this legalization and delivery to your house address, I need you to send me re-confirmed details such as;
1. Names:
2. Residential address:
3. Telephone number (working line):
I await your urgent response.NOTE: all response and reply messages should be sent to me directly on e-mail: fraudalert@fincengov.us.tc
Regard,
J. Lewis Burton.

I have emailed this scammer to thank them personally for leaving their scam loan offer as a comment. On a blog about scams!!! You probably won’t be surprised to know that this scammer’s ip address (196.46.245.30) puts them in Nigeria.
NEVER reply to any of these idiots who send random emails offering loans. You won’t get any money – they are after your money, which they will happily take to pay “fees” for your non-existent loan.
If you need a loan, approach your local credit union or a reputable lender. MAKE SURE you know exactly how much you will be required to pay back.

Good Day
I suppose “Good Day” might be an “authentic” Australian greeting, but come on – would someone who was really going to send you half a million dollars use that as the subject line for an email???? Of course not. I can only repeat what it says at the top of this site. No organisation anywhere, ever holds random email draws. They are all scams. All are made up by scammers who want you to send them your money. Ignore them all.
Congratulations!!!

DO NOT go to this website. It’s an empty site, apart from a page that wants to run a Java application your computer. None of the menu links work. I have no idea what the application is – I didn’t run it.
NO-ONE is going to offer you $950 a month to run a banner ad on a random website. Notice that “Eva Goldberg” doesn’t even know which site she is asking you to put the banner on – she tells you to suggest the site.
The domain name jpp-consulting.net was registered 4 weeks ago, on the 16th October.
If you do accidentally run the java program, immediately download and scan your computer with malwarebytes and superantispyware. I have no idea if they will undo the damage.

Just ignore him – I’m sure you realise that all he wants is your money.

And no other person knows about this account or any Thing concerning it, and the account has no other beneficiary.

I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are A foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner Who can present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon The owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved into a foreign bank Account.

However, we shall sign a binding agreement, to bind us Together as partners in this regard.

I don’t think a real lawyer would send out emails to random people asking to be his PA, do you? Of course he wouldn’t. He’d advertise locally or through a legitimate employment agency. This scammer is hoping you will apply for his fake job. He will then send you a fake cheque and ask you to forward money to someone else. Ignore him.
Hello
I need part time PA to help me monitor and keep up to date with all my activities.I have had a previous PA who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6 months, she has since returned to her country. I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been.
I’m Mr. Rick Inwaski 52 yrs of age, originally from Goshen, Indiana, I spent a whole lot of my life in California. I’m a lawyer by profession and I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I get involved in; from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs, I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep! me up to date with my activit supervisions and monitoring.
*Scheduling programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
*Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I’m away.
*Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.
Basic wage is $300 a week
This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.There is also a very sensitive issue on trust and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on. This is only an introductory E-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially.
I’m currently in Munich Germany for a summit, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with at the moment, if you will be available for me. This can act as a stable foundation to our working relationship.
If You will be available for this job position , send me a confirmation e-mail
Hope to hear from you again.
Cheers.
Mr. Rick Inwaski

Fw: Postal Scam
It must be the silly season or something. This is the second hoax email I’ve been sent this week. I knew it was a hoax before I even opened it. All the usual clues are there:
a) pass it to everyone you know – in this case “circulate this around”
b) undated. You have no idea who started this or when
c) rubbish about “been confirmed by” – Microsoft/Royal Mail/Snopes/Norton yada yada
Oh yes, and the copy that was forwarded to me and been sent to my friend who had copied and pasted ALL the names in his address book into the cc field in his email, so I could see all their email addresses.
If you absolutely must send mass emails – ALWAYS put the email addresses in the bcc field. Preferably just don’t!
NEVER send on a warning email without double checking online to see if it is a hoax. It will be, they all are.
POSTAL Scam:
Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching – it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:
A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact the m on 0906 6611911 (a Premium rate number).
DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize .
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.
CPI – GAP – Car Protection Insurance/Guaranteed Asset Protection
I’ve just heard an item on the radio talking about misselling of CPI – car protection insurance. I feel a crop of “you are owed money for the car protection insurance you took out” texts and emails coming on. Much like the scam ppi texts/emails, which are the most popular post on this site.
A bit of research tells me it is also known as Guaranteed asset protection insurance or GAP Insurance. I remember being given the heavy sell when I bought my current car, but I declined.
If you feel you have been missold GAP insurance – don’t answer random texts or emails. The senders have no idea how much you are owed, or even if you took out CPI/GAP. I’m taking bets now that the texts, when they start, will finish by telling you to reply “STOP” if you don’t want to receive further texts. That won’t stop anything but it will cost you money – which is how these scammers are making their money.
As ever, the http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/ website and forum has helpful information if you feel you are owed a refund.
Response needed
Most scammers who try to pull the “we need a representative in your country to handle our funds” scam at least manage to come up with a story about what their fake company does and why they need you. Clearly this scammer was too lazy to bother with all that.
As I’ve said many times before, no company anywhere ever needs random people to handle their funds. They are all perfectly capable of doing that for themselves.
