Scam Domain registrars and web hosts
“yourdomainname”
I haven’t seen this scam for a while. No-one can register an internet keyword – they are just the words or phrases that search engines use to find your website – and depend entirely on what people searching for your site enter as their search term.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of domain extensions these days and you can’t register them all.
My online alter ego has emailed back saying that she has no business partners in China. I’ll bet they reply and asking her for money to register those useless domain extensions.
Just ignore this bit of rubbish. No-one wants your “keyword” and no-one has any interest in registering those domains – it’s just a made up bit of rubbish to get you to part with your cash.
I entered the address of their website – and it takes you to domain registrar and hosting website which claims that “We are China’s favourite and most trusted domain name registrar”. Interestingly, the website is entirely written in English – obviously a language widely spoken in China – or maybe not!
Dear CEO,
(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. If this email affects you, we are very sorry, please ignore this email. Thanks)
We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in China.
We received an application from Hua An Ltd on October 26, 2017. They want to register ” yourdomainname ” as their Internet Keyword and ” yourdomainname .cn “、” yourdomainname .com.cn ” 、” yourdomainname .net.cn “、” yourdomainname .org.cn ” 、” yourdomainname .asia ” domain names, they are in China and Asia domain names. But after checking it, we find ” yourdomainname ” conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?Best Regards,

Don’t open the attachment to this – it almost certainly contains malware. This scammer doesn’t know who you are, doesn’t say which company they represent or what they are paying you for.
Just delete this email. If you accidentally opened the attachment and think your computer might have been infected with malware, download and scan your computer with the free version of Malwarebytes.

Bill SM-004807 from Peyton & Byrne Limited is due soon
You’d think that a company to whom you owe money might know your name, rather than resorting to addressing you as “Dear Valued Customer”.
The domain name associated with the email address that this was sent from – acm.somerset.sm@aeoncitimart.vn – is Vietnamese.
This scam has NOTHING to do with the legitimate restaurant business.
I didn’t download the .pdf document as I suspect it might be infected with a Trojan.
Ignore this scammer.
If you did accidentally download the document and think your computer might have been infected, download and scan your computer with the free version of malwarebytes – available from www.malwarebytes.org
Dear Valued Customer
This note is just to make sure that you have received a copy of our invoice for £491.40 which will become due for payment on 18 Oct 2017. A copy is enclosed, just in case it has not reached you.
If there is anything you need us to do please let us know. Otherwise, we look forward to continuing our work with you.

RE: P.O No.4031450122
I didn’t even try to open the attached file, which probably contains a Trojan and may not even be openable.
I’ve omited the web address and phone numbers from the bottom of this email, as I suspect they relate to a legitimate business that have no connection with this scam.
Just delete this bit of rubbish – which if you look was sent to “undisclosed recipients” ie as many email addresses as this scammer could get their hands on.

Dear Winner!
Yeah, right. Obviously a Canadian lottery is going to randomly email and use a Brazilian email and a “fun, free email address” from Freeola (direct quote from their website) for you to reply to.
No organise anywhere ever holds random email draws. You cannot win a lottery or prize draw that you have not entered.
This is just a scammer who is hoping to take your hard earned money to pay his fake “fees”. Ignore him (or her).

Look at how my “dear friend” signs her email – “your in vineyard”. I suspect she might have been more than a little tipsy on the produce from this vineyard when she wrote.
She also sent this to “undisclosed recipients” which makes me think I might not be that much of a “Dear Friend”. That or she has $10.6m dollars to give to everyone that she has written to. I think that’s unlikely, don’t you?
“Mrs Linda Hardy” isn’t confined to a wheelchair dying of cancer. He or she is skulking behind a computer somewhere hoping you will be daft enough to fall for her scam. If you are this scammer will start asking you to send them money. Just delete this bit of nonsense.
My Dear Friend,
I don’t really know who you are, but I hope that peace is with you as you read this letter. My intuition tells me that I can trust you with my proposition. I received your contact through my email directory and my inner voice suggested that I send this money to you. I am a widow and a devoted Christian. My name is Mrs. Linda Hardy, and I am from the city of Joplin Mo. Since my husband died, I have been suffering from arthritis. Just this summer, my doctor has diagnosed me with terminal cancer. I have approximately twelve months to live. I am currently confined to a wheelchair, and am being cared for by a nurse.
Before my husband died, he left me a large sum of money, to the tune of $10.6m Dollars. He made me promise that it should be used for humanitarian work. We have no children you see, and my husband didn’t want his brother to inherit it. This money is currently being held by the bank, awaiting the proper recipient. It is up to me to decide who will gain access to it. If you promise me that you will use this money to achieve the wish of my Husband and I, then I will instruct the bank to release the contents of the vault in your name.
If you agree to use the money for humanitarian purposes, I will need the following information from you:
Your full name, contact address, occupation, age, and phone number.
God bless you as you walk in the light and glory. Please kindly send your reply to my
private email address:( mrs.lindahardy@gmail.com )
Yours in Vineyard,
Mrs. Linda Hardy.

New BT Online bill
Goodness me – I’ve had two “new BT Online Bill” emails today. The first was for £257.90 and the second was for £179.02. Both claim to be from BT Business.
I don’t have an account with BT – that’s the first clue that these are fake. The second is the link that you are taken to https://extremedentsptyltd-my.sharepoint.com/personal/sandra_extremedents_com_au/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?docid=02788674b4fca4cc89483219441ebd0af&authkey=AUHkDADGlPYGVd79AF7-98g
Take a look – that isn’t the address of the BT website -it’s a file sharing website where someone has uploaded a .zip file that will be infected with malware.
DO NOT open the .zip file. If you have accidentally opened it, download the free version of Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org) and scan your computer.

An Accident That Wasn’t Your Fault
Usually when I’m phoned by the no fault accident scammers they have a strong India/Asian accent.
But I’ve just been phoned by a lady with a very English sounding accent. She claims the address she was phoning from is in Norbury Cross sw16 4jq. I won’t give the rest of the address in case it’s the address of an innocent third party.
The number she was using was 020 8087 9136 – which will almost certainly be a free or cheap internet phone number. So she could have been calling from anywhere.
One day I must engage one of these scammers and try to find out at what point they start asking for money.
Horrible New……………
There are so many things wrong with this garbled bit of rubbish, allegedly sent by a friend, that it’s hard to know where to start. So I won’t.
This is from a hacked (or spoofed) email account. My friend hasn’t left the country and would never ask me to loan them nearly £3k.
NEVER respond to one of these heartfelt pleas for money from a friend. No true friend would ask you for money by email. If they genuinely needed cash (and I know that happens) they would ask you in person, either face to face or they would phone you.
This is scammer who is hoping you will take pity on your friend in need and send them large amounts of cash.
Even if this was my friend, I don’t have that kind of money sitting in my bank waiting to send.

yourdomain.info Expiration SEO
For some reason these idiots are starting to annoy me. There is no such thing as “search engine optimization submission expiration”. It’s simply a term these goons have made up.
If you click on unsubscribe you are taken to http://www.seoschart.win/ – where you are told “We are a dynamic US based SEO Company” (The bold text is theirs, not mine)
Really?? A US company sending out a stream of spam? Ok – let’s do a who.is search on that domain name. Do you think it will be registered in the US?
That doesn’t look like any part of the US that I’ve ever heard of. So not only are they spammers, they are liars too. Good way to do business.

My Second Mail To You……..163.
Oh look, poor Dr.Evans Egobia had to email me twice – allegedly. Because obviously I simply overlooked the fact that someone wants to send me $35m. I’m a busy gal, you know. It’s easy to overlook a few million dollars here and there.
You might think that a Nigerian Government Department would possibly be capable of opening a UK bank account themselves. If not, you’d think one of their Government Ministers could contact one of the UK Government Ministers and sort something out. But apparently not. Oh no, they need my help to open an account for them.
Clearly I’m a good and trustworthy person to contact because……. Because what? They have no idea who I am.
Enough silliness – just ignore this goon, whose only connection with the Nigeria Federal Ministry is that they happen to be based in the same country. He’s after your money. Ignore him.

this amount results from a deliberate inflation of the value of a contract awarded by our ministry – the federal ministry of agriculture (F.M.A)to an expatriate company.the contract has been executed and payment made to the original contractor,remaining the over-invoiced amount of us$35.5 million,which we want to transfer the funds out the country in our favor for disbursement among ourselves.the transfer of this money can only be possible with the help of a foreigner who will be presented as the beneficiary of the fund.

Domain Alert: CAROL SMITH This is your Final Reminder of Domain – myexpiringdomain.com
Many moons ago, when the internet was young you did have to notify search engines that you had a new website. Those days are long gone. There is no such thing as “domain name search engine submission.”
Search engines aren’t interested in domain names on their own. They are interested in content. All the search engines have bots that continually trawl the web looking for new and updated content. It’s content that gets indexed, not a domain name.
These scammers are just after your cash – in return for which they will do absolutely nothing. Ignore them.

Hey, I could really use the help, (it’s Part Time work)
Bloomin’ ‘eck. I was expecting the usual dodgy, fake, work from home and get paid by check then send some to a third party type scam.
Not a bit of it. The link doesn’t even take you to a job website – real or otherwise. First it takes you to a site that does look as if it might be offering you work:Good – so you can’t resist applying, right? Click on “Apply Online” – and you expect an application form? Ah, no – you get this:Yes, that kind of job. The kind that is a fake competition. Now you really want to continue applying for this job, don’t you? So keep going so the spammer can get a hold of your (fake) email addressWhat does that say? The brand promoted isn’t participating in this promotion?? Weeps into tissue. Does that mean I’m not going to win a shiny new phone after all? I’m heart broken. But don’t worry, if you’re daft enough to have continued your email will be flooded with emails from ukprizecompetition.com. I took a look at that website – and I’m non the wiser as to what all this is really about.
Stay safe. Ignore this spammer.
Hey,
I need a few people for some part-time help with some online work that I have. The work is pretty easy, and the hours are flexible, but it is too much for me to do by myself, so I thought that I would email a few people and see if you would be interested.
The pay is competitive, and the work is rather easy – there’ s just a lot of it that needs to be done. It is primarily data entry work. You will be doing it from your home, so you will need to have reliable internet access and of course, either a laptop or computer.
If this sounds like something you’ d be interested in, then please visit the link below for more information. You’ ll pretty much be able to set your own hours, as long as you get the work done. Please, I only want to work with reliable people. It’ s fine if you can only work part-time hours, but I need reliable people I can depend on.
Details are right here on my website

YOUR FUND $5.5 MILLION HAS BEEN APPROVED:
Nice to know there’s still so much spare money floating around in Nigeria. And all it will cost me to get my hands on a cool $5.5m is $670. A bargain. What could possibly go wrong? (Answers on a postcard, please)
A question. We’ve been in existence for nearly 9 years now, should I set up a free, online phone number and then set up a youtube channel for keepsafeonthenet? Idiots like this add a phone number. I’m curious to hear what they’d say if I spoke to them, but have no intention whatsoever of using my real numbers to calls them.

Important: Register yournewdomain.com on Search Engines
This is purely and simply a scam. It goes with the previous post here on keepsafeonthenet. This appears to be a relatively new con. I have recently registered two new domain names and have been flooded with emails asking me to pay to “register” with Google, Bing and Yahoo.
That is a load of old cobblers. Google, Bing and Yahoo will find your new website within a few days. Not, I said website, not domain. Search engines are interested in content, ie your website. They aren’t interested in the domain name.
As I said, the search engines will find your new site for themselves. As far as I’m aware there is no way to “register” your site with search engines. That’s so historic it’s almost steam driven.
Ignore these scammers who simply want to take your money. They will do NOTHING.

Courtesy Reminder for Search Engine Submission of yournewdomain.com
I recently registered two new domain names. Withing 24 hours I was being flooded by emails asking me to pay for “search engine submission”. Many years ago, when the internet was new, you did have to notify the search engines that you had a new website. Note that having a website, ie content, on your domain is not the same as just owning a domain name. Google, and all other search engines, are interested in content. They are not interested in a domain name that has no content.
Time has moved on and the internet has developed, along with search engines. Google, Bing, yahoo and all other major search engines will find your new website within days. Google bot (and all the other bots) are constantly trawling the net for websites)
This is a scammer, wanting to take your money for doing absolutely nothing. I have wickedly replied to several of these emails, asking for more information about their services. Strangely, non have replied. All use hotmail, or gmail or other generic email addresses.
Don’t be tricked into paying for this totally non existent service.
Our records show that the domain yournewdomain.com is not yet registered with major search engines. Failing to register a domain with search engines means lost opportunities and poor brand visibility.

I have a reply from the scammer. Most scammers ask for a few hundred pounds, but this one is much bolder – asking for nearly £10k. Hopefully most of his potential victims won’t have that kind of money and so won’t be able to fall for his scam. I certainly don’t have that kind of money sitting around waiting to transfer to someone.
I have contacted the Nationwide bank who took my call seriously and are going to look into the account in question and possibly freeze it. Full marks to Nationwide. I have previously contacted the Police and Action Fraud about scams when I have had contact details. Neither have been remotely interested. A few months ago an Ebay account was set up by someone who hacked into my GMail account. I realised when I received an order confirmation email. Ebay closed the account. The email had a delivery address for the items ordered – the Police weren’t remotely interested despite having been given an easy arrest.
Here is the scammer’s reply:
We have received your response and we are going forward one of HM treasury receiving account to enable you make the payment.We do not accept cash payment,we do not accept payment by check,we do not accept payment through western union,money gram or any other electronic means.We only accept and receives fees through swift wire transfer bank to bank,for the sake transparency.
The required fee remains the same,£9,890gbp.Once the payment is confirmed,HM treasury will issue a confirm able receipt covering the amount of you paid to HM treasury.The Chancellor of Exchequer will sign your fund release/transfer permit and within five bank working days,your fund will nit your nominated account.
Below is one of the receiving account details of HM Treasury;

Once the fee is paid,forward the bank transfer slip for confirmation and immediate signing of your fund release/transfer permit.
Jane Ellison.
It’s not only me that doesn’t have a spare £10k, apparently Annie, my online alter ego, doesn’t either. She told the scammer that. So very benevolently they have offered to halve the fee. Annie has replied that she could manage £50. Let’s see what they say. Here is the kind offer to halve the fee:
We will get your response to the fee.
The board said that you are waving for you 4,890 GBP and you raise the balance of £ 5,000 when your total amount is transferred to your bank account, you will send the balance.
What they need from you is your complete home address or office and also your next from Kin.
Please inform us if you send the 5,000 GBP to the account sent to you.

You’d think such an illustrious citizen as a Barrister, member of a learned Chambers in Gray’s Inn, would have at least basic knowledge of English law. We don’t have attorneys – personal or otherwise. We have solicitors (which he doesn’t claim to be) and barristers (who rarely have their own clients – they are referred to them by solicitors).
Leaving aside his tenuous grasp of the law, do you really think a genuine barrister would contact a random person out of the blue to offer them millions of pounds? Of course they wouldn’t.
This is a scammer who is just after your money. Ignore him.

Greetings To You,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I am Steven Walker, a personal attorney/sole executor to the late Engineer Robert M, herein after referred to as” my client” I represent the interest of my client killed with his immediate family in a fatal motor accident in East London on November 5, 2002.and I will like to negotiate the terms of investment of resources available to him.
My late client worked as consulting engineer & sub-comptroller with Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants Ltd here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (£6.8million) with a finance company. The funds originated from contract transactions he executed in his registered area of business. Just after his death, I was contacted by the finance house to provide his next of kin, reasons been that his deposit agreement contains a residuary clause giving his personal attorney express authority to nominate the beneficiary to his funds. Unknown to the bank, Robert had left no possible trace of any of his close relative with me, making all efforts in my part to locate his family relative to be unfruitful since his death. In addition, from Robert’s own story, he was only adopted and his foster parents whom he lost in 1976, according to him had no possible trace of his real family.
The funds had remained unclaimed since his death, but I had made effort writing several letters to the embassy with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate, and all such efforts have been to no avail. More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank However, it will interest you to know that I discovered that some directors of this finance company are making plans already to have this fund to themselves only to use the excuse that since I am unable to find a next of kin to my late client then the funds should be confiscated, meanwhile their intentions is to have the funds retrieved for themselves.
I reasoned very professionally and resolved to use a legal means to retrieve the abandoned funds, and that is to present the next of kin of my deceased client to the bank. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws. On this note, I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the “trustee” bank as my late client’s surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find this to be possible for the fuller reasons that you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital documents that would confer you the legal right to lay claim to the funds, and it would back up your claim. I am willing to make these documents available to you so that the proceeds of this bank account valued at £6.8million can be paid to you before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think that it is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country or some financial institution. I seek your assistance since I have been unable to locate the relatives for the past three years now and since no one would come for the claim. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name giving you the advantage which also makes the claim most credible . In that stand, the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then, we talk about percentage. I know there are others with the same surname as my client, but after a little search, my instinct tells me to contact you. I shall assemble all the necessary documents that would be used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. As I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch via my alternative email for better confidentiality and if it’s okay to you send me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction, please do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
Barrister Steven Peter Walker.
Invoice INV-728 from Church Street Dental Practice
Apparently I owe my dentist just over £9k. I hope that was a good set of teeth they provided, cos that’s might expensive for a regular check-up visit.
Someone is using the website of a legitimate organisation to host malware (I’ve emailed xero.com to let them know).
I haven’t clicked on the link, but I’ll take bets it takes you to a download infected with malware.
I also noticed that the scammer(s) appears to be using a legitimate email address as the “reply to” address. I’ll take more bets that the person who’s email that is will be getting more than a little fed up with people sending angry emails to her.
Please be clear – this has NOTHING to do with medscreen.co.uk or xero.com. Both are just innocent victims being used by the scammers to make their invoice appear legitimate.
There is no point in replying to the email and complaining. The lady who it will go to can do nothing – this scam has nothing to do with her. Just delete the email.

Fake HSBC – http://www.hsb-ionline.com/uk
This little gem was left by the scammer as a comment on this site. It simply said:
Contact this bank now with your evidence of being scammed and claim your scam compensation http://www.hsb-ionline.com/uk
Notice the web address – hsb-ionline. When you go to that website it is a copy of the HSBC bank website. At first sight it’s quite convincing – until you try clicking on most of the internal links, when you will find that the pages don’t exist.
Not sure how the scammer thought I could “contact this bank” as they’ve forgotten to put their fake contact details on the site.
Also, strangely for a scammer, if you click to login to internet banking nothing happens. You aren’t taken to a fake login page and asked for your login details and bank details – at least not yet. This site is new (registered around 3 weeks ago).
This is a timely reminder to NEVER click on a link to a bank website if it is given in an email. Even if you think the link is legitimate. ALWAYS enter the address of your bank’s website directly in to your browser.
ID Has Been Locked !
I received this little gem this morning. Have you noticed how many scammers believe, for some strange reason, that adding an exclamation mark makes their scam emails look legit?
The email this was sent from is appleservice.mailnew@afrihost.com – a very legit sounding (not) email for Apple to use.
Dear Client
We’ve noticed that some of your account information appears to be missing or incorrect We need to verify your account information in order to continue using your Apple ID, Please Verify your account information by clicking on the link below
Click here to Verify your ID
Thanks for choosing Apple,
Apple Team
For the sake of research I followed the link in the email – which took me to http://itunesidverification.co.vu – again, not a legit Apple website.
Below are screenshots of what happened next. Note that there is a fake menubar at the top of each page which doesn’t contain any real links.
In the final screenshot you’ll see that the scammers are after your bank account information.
If you think you have accidentally given these scammers your Apple ID or your bank account information – contact your bank immediately and then log into your Apple account and change your password.
Apple will NEVER send you an email that doesn’t use your full username. They will NEVER ask you to reconfirm your ID in an email. If you think there might be a problem with your Apple account, go directly to their website – NEVER click on a link in an email, even if you think it is legit.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM BMW LOTTERY DEPARTMENT
Because obviously BMW are going to hold a draw from a bunch of random emails and send me a shiny new car and a whole stack of cash.

No organisation anywhere, ever holds random email draws. You cannot win a lottery that you haven’t entered. This scammer just wants to get his hands on your money.

This response was posted on a Facebook group that I belong to. I don’t know where the original job advert was posted, nor do I know what it said.
This is clearly a scam, so my online alter ego is going to email and see what response is received. I’m suspecting that the scammer will offer to pay my “expenses” in advance and try to send me a cheque for extra money, asking me to forward the extra to a third party.
Let’s see what happens. Meanwhile, ignore this idiot.
(Edit – this scammer seriously needs to go back to scam school. They can’t remember what they’ve said. Currently they are saying I will receive my check on Thursday, but have already arranged to meet me tomorrow. A meeting that the scammer now appears to have forgotten about. Just for fun, I’ve reproduced the entire conversation to date below.
All the address, names and other information are entirely made up. Actually my “sister’s” address is a Police Station)

phone: no number? give me your numberI will like to know if we can meet at a restuarant in McDonald’s, 29 N Milpas St, Santa Barbara, CA 93103 by 6:00pm third week on (18th of April) if that works for you?? just to make it clear, for a brief discussion. The check will come in the amount of $3,000. Kindly note that
you are to have the check deposited in your bank account for
processing then you can deduct your $800 which goes for your first
week deposit and have the balance of $2,200 paid to the equipment seller for delivery of the equipment ( Panasonic HC-MDH2 AVCHD Shoulder Mount Camcorder,RPS Studio Digital SLR Camera FloPod and SOLOSHOT3 Optic65 Camera ), I will look for your email soon to ensure everything is clear so i can forward

As I said above, and just for fun, here is the rest for the conversation following on from the above.
I’ll be in on Thursday, but we’re meeting tomorrow at 6pm, so you can update me then.
However, I seriously think we can’t work together. You clearly aren’t reading my emails, nor are you remembering what you told me.
I totally fail to understand why you are asking me “what info do you want again?”
I haven’t asked you for any information. You arranged for us to meet tomorrow, at 6pm, at MacDonalds, as CLEARLY stated in your email of 7th April.
I have to say, that I don’t like your attitude. You are coming across as extremely rude and are unlikely to be the kind of person I can work with.
I guess we will find out tomorrow when we meet.

Are you saying you can no longer make that meeting?
On 11 April you said “Okay good, I will keep you posted okay”
Apart from “checking” on me, you’ve told me nothing since then. I’m beginning to think you don’t actually want people to work for you.

NOTIFICATION: TREAT AS URGENT.
Did you notice the email address that this ridiculous bit of spam came from? info @ troyer.org
Now you’d think such an impressive firm of solicitors as “D-Troyer & Gani Fawhemi Co” would have an equally impressive website, wouldn’t you? It’s awesome – not. It doesn’t exist – they don’t have a website.
Why not? Well maybe it’s because they don’t exist.
Clearly this scammer doesn’t know what your “last name” is. All they want is your money – which they will ask you to send them to pay for “fees”. Ignore this email – send it where it should be – trash or that spam/bulk folder.
NOTE: If you received this message in your SPAM/BULK folder, that is because of the restrictions implemented by your Internet Service Provider, we (D-TROYER & GANI FAWHEMI CO, LAW CHAMBERS. SOLICITORS AT LAW) urge you to treat it genuinely.
I am re-sending this to you again thus; A deceased client of mine, that shares the same last name as yours, died without a NEXT OF KIN.
I have to contact you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client which is lodged in the bank. Please contact me for more information.
Best Regards,

Like making money and giving to a well-deserved charity?
This is NOT a charity. It is an illegal pyramid scheme. Your “donation” is not being given to charity, it is being given back to other suckers who paid in – and that’s assuming that draws are ever held.
The “prizes” are funded by fellow members, the classic pyramid scheme.
Nowhere in all this ridiculous twaddle does it say that any money will actually be given to any charity. Nor does it state how much money the founder thinks they will be taking (clue – probably as much as possible).
Ignore this email and DO NOT pass it on to anyone else.
Club Pal Charities, the only Club that gives you cash back and the opportunity to grow! Our motto? Charity begins in the heart.
Do you like making money and giving to a well-dese rved charity? Then please, read on!Hello, and welcome to Pal Charities! Let’s s tart by introducing myself.
My name is David Pooley; I am a proud father of fo ur, an entrepreneur and an average Kiwi guy. If you’d like to find ou t a little bit more about me, you can find me on LinkedIn or Facebook.
So why, might you ask, why am I emailing you? Well , I have sold my businesses and I have explored a few options before landi ng on the idea of Pal Charities; something I truly believe in and will str ive to make it work. Though life has had its ups and downs, there comes a time in one’s life when you get the feeling that you should be giving something back.Club Pal Charities, the only people that gives you cash back and the opportunity to grow! Our motto? Charity begi ns in the heart.
Do you like making money and giving to a well-dese rved charity? Then please, read on!
So, onto Club Pal Charities. Who are we and what do we do?
Everyone needs a pal. Essentially, Club Pal Charit ies, we collect money and re-distributes it to well-deserved organisations . My favourites are charities that work against human trafficking or work in animal welfare and my goal is to save at least one soul per month ; every life matters! Club Pal Charities will take great care when choosin g which charity will receive your money. It does not have to be the bigges t or the greatest, it needs to be one that is doing the greater good, and Club Pal Charities love to help smaller charities get off the ground so th ey can start making a difference!So, how will I encourage you to give?
1. 1 decided it had to be fun! Giving to charity has a reputation for being on erous but Club Pal Charities want to build a community of members who dese rve to have fun whilst doing it!2. Other than the opportunity for you to nominate your own charity (we all have causes we feel passionate about), I thought of a way that you too can also benefit. Want to hear more?
What sets Pal Charities apart from the rest? It&r squo;s our big heart. We just love giving. Unlike most Charities where onl y 5% arrives at the final cause, at Pal Charities, we cash back all we can .
You have all heard of the phase ‘charity beg ins at home’, well, here at Pal Charities, you can donate to a chari ty and there is an interesting twist! If you need extra cash per month. Re ad onHere is how it works:
Your Donation is multiple of $10.00, $50.00 or maximum of $100.00
Send your donation to Pal Charities’ Skrill account pal@palcharitie s.com
We ask that you please only donate no more than 3 times every 24 hours (we are sorry, this may change in the future. It is a ll relevant to the numbers and the physical time to process each donation) . However, at a later stage, anyone donating on a regular basis will be in vited to another level.
When we receive your donation, you will then be en tered into our weekly draw! 8 out of 10 people will get the donation value plus 10% deposited back in their Skrill account. The other 2 out of 10 wi ll get only 10%. That’s cash back of 80%. Yes, you read that correct ly! That’s 8 out of 10 chances of being in the draw and make 10% cas h back paid directly into your Skrill account. Note, the other 2 out 10 wi ll receive only 10%. (note as the number of donations increase so will the number of draws, it is expected that it will become daily)
As you can see, if you are lucky enough to be in t he draw, ten donations in a row you will make 100% on your money.
(Please note that we at Club Pal Charities reserve the right to reduce or increase this percentage at any time. There will b e a time when the donations are greater than needed, and so the cash back to our faithful donators will be increased. You first donation is you guar anteed life membership of Club Pal.

I you click on “reply” to this email – look who it is really going to – disticaret@carlaverde-tr.com.
This email did NOT come from the address it claims to come from – the sender address has been “spoofed”. Ie, the sender address is fake. In fact that happened to me just a few days ago. My hosting company checked to see if my email had been hacked. It hadn’t, the spammers were just using my email as a fake sender address.
DO NOT open the attachment which I’m fairly sure will contain malware.
Also, the company referred to in this email is a legitimate company whose name is being used by the scammers to make their attachment seem authentic. (I debated whether or not to leave the details visible. If the company would prefer me to remove their details I will, but I stress again they are a legitimate company.)

Wowcher, Groupon
For some time I’ve noticed that the, so called, bargains promoted on sites such as Wowcher and Groupon are often anything but bargains.
If you are tempted, do your research. The prices they claim to be discounted from are often fake.
A few months ago a very tempting deal was offered on a memory foam mattress. Except that when you went to the seller’s main website the whole range of their memory foam mattresses were offered for a similar price – except the one on the offer site, which was literally four times the price of everthing else on the main website. Presumably so they could offer it at a fake 75% discount.
This one, today, is a typical example.Tempting. Save 78%. Who could resist? Read a little further and postage costs an additional £4.99“Not a problem”, I hear you cry. “A total of £33.99 instead of £129.99 – what are you complaining about?” I hear you ask.
Hop over to Amazon guys. Here’s the same set – For £31.99. Same set, same photo (reversed)
So be wary of those, so called, bargains on the offer sites. Many of them aren’t what they claim to be.

HELLO GOOD FRIEND REPLY BACK
It never ceases to amaze me how much spare money there is floating around in the Bank of Nigeria. The country must be mega rich. It’s inhabitants must all be millionaires.
Or maybe not.
Perhaps this idiot is just another scammer who, for some obscure reason, thinks that telling me he has money in Nigeria which he can send to me might sound like a legitimate transaction.
Ignore this waste of space. He is just after your money.
And I’m not his “Good friend” – we’ve never met!

This scammer is trying to get your credit card information. I don’t even have an account with BT!
If you follow any of the links in the email you will see that you aren’t taken to the BT website – look in the address bar at the top of your web browser.
For the sake of research my friend Roger Rabbit used the fake login box. This is what the scam page says – the scammer is after your credit card information:
If you think you have accidentally given your card information to these scammers, contact your bank immediately.

Re:HELLO DEAR FRIEND…..
I hope that most people are aware that this sort of nonsense is always a scam. “Reputable” bankers don’t contact random people via email and offer to send them millions of dollars. It doesn’t happen.
I’ll guarantee that if you answered “MrAgyare” would start asking you to send him money.
Dear Friend,
I have been in search of someone with this last name and when I saw your name I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other.Meanwhile I am Mr. David Agyare, a reputable banker here and my purpose of contacting you is that On the 15th of March 2007 one Mr. Victor a citizen of your country and a crude oil dealer made a fixed deposit with my bank valued at $17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) and the due date for this deposit contract is exactly this time of the year.
Sadly Mr. Victor was among the death victims in the 2008 deadly earthquake in Sichuan china and left nobody for the claim of his deposited fund. He was in china on a business trip and that was how he met his end.Mr Victor did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened because he was not married and no children and if this fund should stays here in our bank after so many years till this time of the year! It will move into the bank treasury account as un-claimed fund and the Top ones here in our bank will share it among themselves.
I don’t want such thing to happen that is the reason why I contacted you and requesting your assistance to receive this fund into your account as the beneficiary hence you bear the same surname with the deceased,Please kindly consider this proposal and send me your reply of interest to my private email address: (davagy9001@gmail.com) so that I will give you more details on how to proceed,
I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds equal, which is 50/50 to both parties,I wait for your response direct to my private email (davagy9001@gmail.com) and please delete if you are not interested.For your information it is very difficult for me to talk about this subject on Skype because I am always busy in the office, so I prefer that we keep communicating through e-mail for safety purpose.
I wait for your positive response.
Regards
Mr. David Agyare
HomeOfLearning{dot}com
Today I received this ridiculous email. Why on earth would I pay $450 for a domain name? Typical prices for new domain names range from 88c to around $35. This domain has no content and no ranking in Google.
I very sweetly offered to send this joker a list of the domain names that I own – all of which have content and all of which rank in Google – in case he’d like to offer me $450 for any of them. (I wonder how much they’d offer me for keepsafeonthenet.co.uk????)
When I did a whois search on this domain name it appears to be owned by “Domain Asset Holdings”. A company which, it appears, simply make money by trying to trick unsuspecting website or domain owners into buying further domains and ridiculously inflated prices.
Hello. I’m currently selling domain name HomeOfLearning{dot}com for 450 USD.
I wanted to ask if you might be interested in acquiring it?
Please let me know.
Thank you!
Good Day
Obviously the Vic Chairman of one of the world’s major banks would send you a random email with the subject “Good Day” (heavy sarcasm there). I imagine he has sent quite a few if his client had the “same last name” as I do. I have one of the UK’s most common surnames – there are thousands and thousands of us.
I have no intention of sending this scammer my “private email”. All he wants is your cash, which he will ask you to send him for his fictitious fees.
Good Day
I am Vice Chairman of Hang Seng Bank, I have Important Matter to Discuss with you concerning my late client that shares the

A friend rang me today. As you can see from the attached screenshot she had a pop up in Firefox warning her of a critical error. The website she’d been taken to had a female voice warning her that her computer was infected and she should phone an 0800 number.
I did a whois search on that long domain name and it was registered today (2oth December 2016) to someone in Delhi. I presume if my friend had rung the number she would have been put through to an Indian scam Microsoft technical support line, who would have tried to take money from her for “fixing” her computer.
It took me a while to work out how to get rid of that pop-up as Firefox wouldn’t close. I opened Task Manager and closed Firefox. When I reopened FF, the pop-up reappeared.
Finally I hit on a solution.
I scanned her computer with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Malwarebytes found nothing. Superantispyware, on the other hand, found loads of cookies (Malwarebytes ignore cookies). I deleted all the cookies that Superantispyware found and reopened Firefox.
This time, it gave me a message telling me that it was “embarrassing” that it was having trouble opening the previous tabs. Which mercifully meant that the tab with the pop-up didn’t open.
I have suggested she updates both antispyware apps later today and rescans the computer. But we are hoping that clearing the cookies has cured the problem.
Do You Take Card?
I am being sent this bit of spam repeatedly to non other than an email address associated with this website!
Finally, I went to their website. It claims to be “Card Machines UK”. The domain name is best described as gobbledegook.
It has a fake TRUSTe logo on it and a fake MacAfee Site Advisor logo. The “Contact Us” gives no clue as to who is running the site – there is just a contact form. The domain name is registered to someone in Cardiff.
Among the requirements to be a member of the Truste certification scheme, business websites must

Do yourself a favour and avoid these scammers. Contact your bank or other financial provider if you require a credit card machine for your business.
Considering the Machine Above? View in Detail Here
This is a machine which allows you to take card across your building and is called a Portable which sends details from the hand piece to the base unit that then uses Internet or Phone.
Mainly it is people that have this kind of machine are cafes and B and B’s who need to allow people to use card while eating and leaving after, although, it might be good for other purposes.
It is the type of machine that is used by persons that need to take cards on the road and is called a Mobile one. It only requires a connection to a network. This can be used out and about anywhere there’s signal and you might take card throughout the UK and you’ll not need a landline.
Lastly is the Desktop which is for people that must allow card in a defined place and uses a power point as well as a Ethernet or phone line.

yourdomain.com information
You have to admire the cheek of this scammer, whose email finished by telling you that the subject line of the email is “in no way misleading”.
This is just an attempt to frighten/bully you into handing over $66. If you read further down they do tell you that they will not be re-registering the domain for you but are selling you ” our search engine traffic generator” – which is probably a rubbish piece of software designed to spam.
Ignore this chancer – who doesn’t even tell you which “search engine traffic generator” they claim to be selling you.

Your VAT return and payment of the VAT
I had to laugh when I saw this piece of fiction. I don’t have nineteen thousand pounds in my bank account, so they could have more than a little trouble debiting it from my “bank’s account”.
I suspect the attached file might contain malicious code – certainly my laptop refused to open it.
Look at the email address this was sent from (info@companies-house23.top) – not the government email address it claims to come from. companies-house23.top was registered in October 2016 – it claims to be registered to Panama and is hosted on Russian servers.

By law you must submit your VAT return and make sure that payment has cleared to HRMC’s bank account by the due date.
Because of this we have assessed the VAT due as GBP 19,842.56 and this will be debited from your bank’s account on 25 November 2016.

Booking Arrangement
A few days ago I received this email. I don’t provide holiday accommodation and the language used made it an obvious scam. I know how these hotel scams work. The scammer says they are going to send you more money that you have asked for and asks you to send some of the money to a third party. If you fall for the scam you will be left out of pocket with no way of recovering the money you have forwarded.
This scammer didn’t disappoint.

UKPC Parking Charge Reminder Notice Number | 23DR84
Scary stuff. You’ve commited a parking violation and need to pay a fine. Or do you? Look carefully – the sender doesn’t know where you were supposed to have parked. They don’t know who you are. But magically they have your email address which, of course, you gave to “parking attendant No 77435”. Or maybe you didn’t?
You haven’t violated any parking terms – this is scammer who is hoping to scare you into parting with your cash. Ignore it.

I don’t have a Netflix account, so this was an obvious fraud to me. If you do have a Netflix account, NEVER click on a link in an email. ALWAYS go directly to the Netflix website from your browser and sign in.
I clicked on the link to see where it took me – cordellmemorialhospital(dot)com/00a6797fa0ffde4b41a745ce5/ Definitely not the real Netflix website – a hacker has added their fake sign-in page to a real domain.
This is where I was taken when I “signed in” (using fake information). The scammer wants your credit card information.
If you think you have accidentally given your information to these hackers, contact your bank immediately.
Dear xxxxx,
We have noticed that some billing informations in your Netflix account seems inaccurate or unverified, therefore we can’t process your next month automatic payment.
In order to continue using our service, Please log in to your Netflix account and check your informations carefully:

The real KC Chambers UK, who have NOTHING to do with this scammer are based in Birmingham, not London.
I hope no-one really thinks that Lloyds bank would randomly give them $76m. In fact I find it hard to imagine that many small charities even have that kind of money, let alone want to give it to a random person from an email list.
DO NOT send this scammer a copy of your passport or your driver’s licence – he is trying to steal your identity and will also try to steal your money to pay his imaginary “fees”.
Ignore him.
Just for fun, I did a whois search on the domain name used in the scammer’s email address – kclaw-chambers.biz. It was registered on 14th October 2016 to someone who has given a whole load of false information. Look – The person who registered claims London (which is in England) is in Argyllshire (which is in Scotland) and has a Manchester postcode.

Final payment request
This is similar to the US scam where someone phones you and tells you that someone is on their way to your house to arrest you, but you can stop them coming if you immediately pay thousands of dollars to the scammer. The scammer then demands payment via an anonymous third party system such as iTunes (yes, really!!) or Western Union.
The attachment to this email contains malware, so I can’t tell you how much it claims you owe. HMRC will NEVER send you an email saying you owe them money – they will always write to you. If in doubt, either log into your online tax account to see if you owe money (or are entitled to a refund), or telephone them. If you phone, make sure you get their real telephone number from their website, DO NOT phone a number that came in an email.
Date of issue 17 October 2016
Reference K2026076296
Don’t ignore this letter – you need to pay us now if you want to stop us taking enforcement action against you.
We contacted you previously asking you to pay the above amount but you still haven’t done so. The attached statement of liability gives a breakdown of what you owe.
As you’re in the very small minority of people who haven’t paid. We’re treating your case as a priority. If you don’t pay now, we’ll take action to make you pay. The law allows us to enforce debts by seizing your goods and selling them by public auction A regional sheriff officer acting on a summary warrant will do this for us. We can charge fees for this so if you don’t act now it could cost you more money.
For more information and how to pay us please see attached statement.
We’ll continue to add interest to the original debt until you pay in full.

“Free Trials” of health products
Some wise words from the BBC, warning about “free trials” of health products, weight loss products etc.
Be very careful about what you are agreeing to. Read ALL of the Ts & Cs before handing over your credit card details, you could unwittingly be setting up a recurring payment to a company whose details you know little or nothing about.
Another name for these cons, I think, is “forced continuity”. The unwitting customer doesn’t realise they have just signed up to a recurring payment that they will find very difficult to cancel. It isn’t a direct debit, so you can’t just cancel the payment via your bank.
It’s a common scam for weight loss products, body building products, etc so be careful. You can read the full story on the BBC website below:

ATM CARD PAYMENT NOTIFICATION $23,300,000.00 (BOA/FBI/FCC/MG)
So kind of the president of Nigeria to offer to send me $23m because he’s found my email address. Obviously that’s the kind of money that you tell someone about in a random email and simply send them if they happen to reply. Of course, you’d use your “private” generic gmail/yahoo/aol/hotmail address to notify the recipient, wouldn’t you?
Can you picture “Mr John Chaize” sitting at his “desk” writing this email? Strangely I see a scammer sitting in an internet cafe, but I could be wrong s/he might have a desk at home and be sitting at that.
As an aside – why the upper case letters? Does that make this daft email more convincing?

Scam “BT” phone call from 0203 592 7411
A client of mine was phoned a few days ago by someone claimed to be phoning from BT. She was asked if she was using her computer between midnight and 4am. (They assume that most people will be asleep at that time). When she said she wasn’t using the computer, she was told that her computer had been hacked.
She was then told you that her computer was downloading illegal material. Clearly an attempt to frighten her. Fortunately she told the caller that she was too busy to turn on her computer. They were, apparently, rude to her and told her that she “had to turn it on”. Her reply was along the lines of “don’t speak to me like that in my own home” before telling the caller rather explicitly where to go and putting the phone down.
Don’t fall for these scammers. Regrettably if anyone with an Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi sounding accent calls you it is almost invariably a scam, especially if they try to tell you that they have an English sounding name.
On a personal note, what bugs me is that the Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi government(s) are perfectly well aware that these scammers exist. They aren’t individual scammers working from home, these are fully operational call centres. Yet the government(s) of the country/countries they are based in allow them to continue.
HMRC Telephone Scam
My neighbour has just come to tell me that she received an HMRC scam telephone call about half an hour ago. The number displayed on her phone was 0161 375 1755. It was an automated phone call where she was told that the HMRC were going to take a law suit against her and take her to court.
She was asked to press 1.
Fortunately she put the phone down and rang HMRC who assured her that they never phone anyone to tell them they are taking court action, they would always send a letter.
My neighbour rang the Police who told her that several people in our area have been targeted in the last couple of days.
So if you receive this call, put the phone down. Don’t press 1 and definitely don’t give them any personal information.
Manchester MoneyGram and Western Union Scam Victims
Crimestoppers are running a campaign to raise awareness of MoneyGram and Western Union scams. They will be launching in Manchester in September and are looking for anyone who might have fallen victim of one of these scams.
Do you live in or near Manchester? And have you or a friend or relative been the victim of a MoneyGram or Western Union scam? If so, would you be willing to talk to Crimestoppers?
You can leave me a comment below, or contact them directly.
Hi,
I hope you don’t mind me contacting you. I’m a media officer with the charity Crimestoppers and I wondered if you could help with a campaign we’ve got coming up in September.
We’re working with the Post Office to tackle scams that target the elderly and vulnerable – especially those that encourage victims to use services like MoneyGram. The campaign seeks to raise awareness as well as encourage people to report individuals who they suspect are involved with the scams.
We launched a campaign in Rotherham earlier this year where we were supported by Marilyn Baldwin, from Think Jessica.
https://crimestoppers-uk.org/in-your-area/yorkshire-humberside/south-yorkshire/stamping-out-scams-in-rotherham/
We’re having another launch in Manchester in September.
I’m looking for people from the Manchester area who’ve been affected by the types of scams mentioned above and might be prepared to talk about it as part of the campaign – they may have been a victim or the child/grandchild of a victim.
I wondered if you knew of anyone who might be interested in taking part?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards

Warning! ID: you@youremail.com – Account Closure!
I love this one. It’s given me the best laugh in ages on behalf of a scammer. This idiot has included links to a make-money-quick website (*** warning – there is no such thing as a get-rich-quick scheme online). The website that is linked to contains this wonderful warning “anyone caught copying our website, or using our trademarked/copyrighted text and/or img without permission will be reported to their billing company, their hosting company, and any other related companies for account closure. We will also follow up with a copyright infringement lawsuit in accordance with the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).”
In the same vain, I would add that “anyone caught sending me scam emails will be reported via keepsafeonthenet and any other related website I care to add them to. We will also follow up by publishing any comments users care to leave.”
Ignore this idiot. S/he doesn’t represent the “Fraud Investigation Team” – Sh/e is the fraudster.

Business Directory – World Wide
30 June – update. There is no directory. My online alter-ego emailed to express interest. You aren’t being charge the exhorbitant sum of $450 to be entered into a directory that no-one will ever see. No. This is what the scammer claims to be offering:
“We are providing email marketing services for all over UAE only and offering World Wide Email Database as well.
Are you interested in Email marketing or buying World Wide Email Database?
Thanks & Regards
Manzar”
Original, 27June
Would you trust a “directory” whose owners use hotmail or gmail addresses and don’t have a website. Or one who thinks the residents of Hungary are “hungry” or who can’t spell New Zealand?
As for “worldwide” – it looks like a random selection of countries to me and doesn’t even include the country where I live.
Notice also the fake “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email. Which is linked to a domain that is for sale.
This is just a scam to take money from you. I doubt if a directory will ever be published, and if it is, no-one will use it.

This scammer claims to be a dishonest bank official. Would you trust a dishonest bank official who claims to be stealing millions of pounds from his bank? Probably not.
Ignore this scammer – whose only aim is to take your money.
Dear Friend,
On the 28th of October 2009 a gang of Taliban attacked and bombed Peshawar Pakistan when a car bomb was detonated in a Mina Bazar of that region killing 137 people and injured more than 200 including Engr. Steve a customer with Noor bank of Dubai. Consequently I was assigned by the Management of my bank as his account officer to help locate any of his close family relation to Claim the money he deposited with the bank.
Mr. Steve has in his account with Noor Bank of Dubai before his sudden death the sum of $10.2 million USA dollars. All efforts to locate any of his immediate family proved abortive since he did not reside in Dubai with any of his family being a contractual staff with Emirate National oil company. Having been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives this past periods mostly as his 4 ( four) years contact is due to expire very soon, I decided to contact you to assist in Repatriating the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared Unserviceable by the bank.
I seek your consent and cooperation to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, over the Proceeds of this account valued at ($10.2 million US Dollars) to be paid to you and then you and I can share the money in the ratio of 50% to me and 50% to you.All I need is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law. I will appreciate some measure of
confidentiality until we finish the transaction, because of my position in the bank Please do reply mail to: farooqhassan470@gmail.com

Farooq Hassan.

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.

Re: Job Assistant Urgently Needed
Do you really think that a genuine company would send a random email (using a yahoo.com email address) to a random person that they have never even heard of offering them a real job?
Of course they wouldn’t. This is a classic scam. At the end of the first week you will be sent a cheque for more than the $450 promised. You will be asked to forward the extra money to someone else. Your bank will then realise the original payment was fraudulent and withdraw the money from your account – leaving you in debt for the amount you sent to that “someone else” and with no way of getting your money back.
Don’t even reply to this scammer.
I’d like to know if you’re interested in working part time from home. You’ll be processing refunds to our small business customers. More details will be provided once i receive your response.
Requirements include a valid Paypal Account for your weekly payment deposits. Payment will be $400 weekly plus $50 extra for gas. No cold calling. No registration fee.
Please send us your name, phone number along with the best time to call. A member of our marketing team will give you a call at any time of your chosen.

Fake scam compensation email
Around a month ago a scammer left this as a comment:
get your cash back if you have been scammed.email at shangeorge49@gmail.com
My internet alter ego loves winding up scammers, so using an email address reserved for emailing scammers, my alter ego contacted him to say she’d been scammed out of £250 that she’d sent to someone who told her she had won money. She asked if he could help her.
It wasn’t long before our intrepid investigator claimed to have tracked down the scammer:
i have been on your job for hours now very good I am close to nailing this scammer down,so your money and inconvience of scam fee of $1500 will be refunded to you immediately after he is apprehended.on jobs like this its a cross country.

My alter ego wasn’t about to part with more money so she asked this joker for a photograph of himself. This is the photo he sent her (with apologies to whoever this photo really belongs to)
Note that at this point this joker was offering $1500 compensation in exchange for his $249.
My alter ego still wasn’t convinced, so she asked several more questions. The scammer became increasingly desperate and magically raised the amount of compensation being offered to $1m.
I don’t know you might have gotten this or not

Telephone call from “Google” – asking for payment
Two of my clients have told me in the last few days that they have received several phone calls from someone claiming to be calling from Google. They are told that they paid last year and that they need to pay again otherwise their site will no longer be on the first page of Google.
I don’t know any more details yet, as both clients realised it was probably a scam and don’t recall exactly what was said. Both looked through last year’s invoice and know they didn’t pay last year.
Google DO NOT charge you for being on the first page or for coming first in their results. The only time Google will charge you is if you run and Adwords campaign to promote your business via Google ads. Even then, they do not phone you asking for payment.
Re:branding registry…
What a load of ridiculous rubbish. You haven’t been chosen for anything. I’m not sure what the scam is here. My online alter-ego has filled in the form. The main information asked for is your phone number. Sadly my alter-ego has a little trouble remembering any real phone numbers, so equally sadly the scammer can’t actually phone her. However, she did use her real email that she set up specially for scammers – so she will let you know if she receives an email. I don’t doubt for one moment that money will be demanded at some stage.
I love the box that pops up when you enter your email address – assuring you that they will not spam you. Rather odd, given that you’ve already been spammed when you received this fake offer to join a fake register.
For anyone that is interested, here are some screenshots of the application process. Whatever you do, please do not enter a real phone number. Email scams are bad enough, but you really don’t want a scammer phoning you at all hours of the day and night.

This scammer doesn’t beat about the bush – s/he tells you that s/he wants you to pay $570. Of course, if you are daft enough to pay, the scammer will simply ask you for more money. And keep on asking for as long as you are prepared to pay. Ignore him or her.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, And I was directed to meet Barrister George Alex, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

As soon as you contact him he will send you the payment information which you are to use in sending the payment to him in order for him to obtain the document from the court of law there in Nigeria so that your fund can be transfer to you without any delay just the way mine was being transfer to me.

Re:GOD NEWS
This scammer seems to think he is acting on behalf of a higher authority as he wishes to tell me some “God” news.
Actually, I have news for him. I don’t think that God is very keen on scammers.
At least this scammer is up front – he tells you to send him $90. If you’re daft enough to do that, he will keep asking you for more money. Ignore him.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
CONTACT Our Ref: CBN/OHG/OXD1/09
Your Ref: ……………
TELEX: CENTRAL BANK.
PAYMENT FILE: CBN/BEN/09.
PAYMENT NOTIFICATION,
Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you. Firstly, I will like to introduce my self formally as Mr.Godwin Emefiele, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I am officially contacting you today because your Inheritance Funds were Re-deposited into the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN Central Bank Of Nigeria last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Rightful beneficiary Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the mother Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria. So has the singular right to carry out this delivery.
Really these men were unexpected by me because their visit was impromptu. I had to ask them why they came to see me in person and they said that they were here to collect the Inheritance Bill in Sum of ($5MILLION USD) which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf. In respect of your unfinished transaction which you are unable to collect your fund.
At this development I asked them who authorized them to come down to Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told me that you asked them to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. In fact this was the biggest shock that this Bank have ever received so far because your Inheritance Funds is still in the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN, yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your behalf without notifying us.
We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you collect your Inheritance Bill Sum, at least you should have informed me as the Executive Governor of this Bank. They actually tendered some Vital Documents, which proved that you actually sent them for the Collection of this Fund. Honestly, it really baffles me that you took such decision without my consent, by and large we still have to consider the fact that as the rightful owner of the fund you still have your own rights too.
Here are the Documents, which they tendered to this Bank:
1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUNCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.
Actually, these Documents, which they tendered to this Noble Bank, is a clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you. Finally, I told them to come back and they promised to come back. As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release this Funds to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any mistake in Releasing this Funds to anyone except you whom is the Recognized Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds.
Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf. In receipt of this confidential Letter, you are required to respond immediately to this email : with your full name, address and phone number for reconfirmation and immediate action.
However, I want you to know that this fund will reach via bank to bank transfer, neither by any courier nor postage because we found out that there have been much Problems when trying to deliver this via courier services. Moreover the transferring bank will be introduced as soon as we confirmed from you if really you send those men to get your fund on your behalf. I also want you to know that the only fee attach to this fund which you must have to take of is the administrative charges and the paper work $90usd.So be informed.
OFFICIALLY SIGNED.

This scammer gets straight to the point, doesn’t he. “Please give me all your credit card details, including your verified by Visa password, and your passport or driving licence details.”
NEVER reconfirm the details of ANY account via a link in an email. No legitimate company will ever ask you to do that. ALWAYS go directly to the website (not via a link in an email). Log into your account and you will see if there really is a problem.
If you think you have accidentally given your card details to this scammer, contact your bank immediately.
Dear user,
The credit card we have on file for your iTunes service was declined when we attempted to bill you on 14/04/2015 for your most recent service fees.

will be charged immediately, as soon as payment is received. You can update your credit card simply by download the form attached in email

INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF)
OK – let me get this right. The IMF, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, are writing to me from a gmail.com address. Does that sound right to you? Should the IMF have large amounts of money for you (which they don’t) I would imagine that there would be a long running, formal process that they would have to adhere to. I seriously can’t imagine that a random email from a gmail address would be part of their policies and procedures.
All of which means this is a scammer who is after your money.

YOUR RESPONDS
Obviously someone that has boxes full of money is going to email a random person that they don’t even know and ask them to look after the boxes – aren’t they? Or maybe they aren’t. Think about it – do you really believe that someone you don’t even know would send you boxes full of money? Of course they wouldn’t. This person has no intention of sending you anything – only of taking money from you. Ignore him.

Dearly Beloved
“Pastor John Meat” has a sob story to tel me about an orphan needing a home and having lots of money. Do you really think that a genuine priest would send a child to live with a random person in a random country without knowing anything about them? Of course they wouldn’t.
He doesn’t have $16m either – although he’d like to. But he’ll be happy with as much money as you are prepared to send him. Ignore him.
Dear Beloved,
I am sorry to intrude into your private life today but i appeal to you to consider this proposal which i believe its the will of God.
My name is pastor John Meat a priest with the Catholic Church and a recognized member of sales 2 world for refugee. I am in contact with you because of a young refugee orphan in my congregation who lost his entire family to the civil war in Libya in 2013. Presently the young orphan needs a sincere and God fearing guardian who can stand as a foreign beneficiary to his inheritance which is in a tune of Sixteen Million United States Dollars ($16,000,000.00 USD) that was lodged with a registered Security company Vault by his late father which was meant for foreign investment purpose before his demise.
I seek your sincere consent to consider this proposal and assist this young orphan as your personal child and help in making his dream a reality to see that his inheritance is released and also making sure his education dream comes to past.
As a true Priest i shall make all formalities and documents available to you once i hear from you to consider to help the young orphan as your child and take care of his inheritance.
Thanks, pastor.John Meat
Victim Loses £20,000 in betting scam
This warning comes from Police Scotland. The victim receievd a letter asking for someone to place bets on behalf of the sender, for which the victim would receive commission.
Think about it. Why would anyone need you, or me, to place bets on their behalf? They could easily place the bets themselves either by going to a betting shop or opening an account with an online betting site.
This is a variation on the classic scam where people are asked to receive money from customers and forward it to the scammer. You appear to be making money, you forward the money to the scammer only to find that the original cheque/transfer was fraudulent and you are left out of pocket with no way of claiming your money back from a scammer who has disappeared.
