GO THROUGH THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL AND GET BACK TO ME ASAP

It seems to be my lucky (or should that be unlucky) day.  So many scammers have written to tell me how many millions of dollars/pounds I’m owed, that I’m losing count.

This scammer is just one amongst many.  All have one common aim – to part you from your money.  Ignore this person – if you reply you will just be sent demands for money.

BALASAN

I seem to have been added to an Indonesian scammers list.  This is my second Indonesian scam.  I don’t speak a word of Indonesian, but I can understand the first word.  Apparently the Indonesian for dear, is “dear”!!!  I could run this through Google translator, but I don’t need to.  Any email that mentions “5,000,000.00 pounds” is a scam.

Don’t make the mistake of replying – this scammer will start asking you to send [Continue reading BALASAN]

Maaf, Tanpa Mengurangi Rasa Hormat

I don’t speak Indonesian, so I can’t tell you what this scammer is saying. I do know it’s a scam as it mentions $6m and the address of a courier in the UK.

As with all scammers, the only thing this scammer wants is your money. If you make the mistake of replying you will find a scammer asking you to send them money. Ignore him or her.

Good Day!

“William Baker Jnr” seems to think we are “good friends”.  I can’t imagine what gives him that idea.  Why on earth would he think that I want to be friends with a scammer?

Yes – “William Baker” is a scammer.  He isn’t a soldier in the US army and he isn’t in Baghdad.  His email appears to have been sent from Madrid.

The only thing this scammer wants to do is take your money [Continue reading Good Day!]

From Information Desk:

This incompetent scammer sent this bit of rubbish 3 times.  Do you suppose that means I’ve won 3 times?  I’m told there has been a “mix up of some numbers and names” – at least they admit to being incompetent.  I’m also told to keep my “wining information confidential”.  If I’m an alcoholic, it’s none of their business!!

Just ignore this dimbo scammer.  If you make the mistake of replying you will find yourself [Continue reading From Information Desk:]

Scam Computer Problems Calls

Edit: 20 March 2012.  I just had a phone call from “Anna”.  When I asked her how it felt to work for a company, phoning people and telling them lies.  She told me “I’m proud of it.  Because nowadays most people don’t know it’s a lie“.  Really – that’s exactly what she said.

This has just been forwarded to me from our local Neighbourhood Watch (I live in the UK) – see below. Normally [Continue reading Scam Computer Problems Calls]

TRANSACTION/PROJECT!!

If “Mr. Paul Jacobs Maroga” really was the high ranking civil servant he claims to be – he would find himself behind bars for a long time.  This email isn’t exactly private – and sending it to thousands of random people across the world telling them he is a dishonest civil servant wouldn’t remain a secret for more than a few minutes.

Of course “Mr. Paul Jacobs Maroga” isn’t a civil servant – he’s [Continue reading TRANSACTION/PROJECT!!]

VERIFICATION OF PCH WINNERS($1,000,000 USD)

Do you really think that the Publishers Clearing House makes enough profit to give away $5m to random email holders for no reason at all?  Of course they don’t.  This is just a scammer who wants to take your money by charging you fees.  Ignore him or her.

We are please to announce to you that your email address emerged alongside 4 others as a category 2 winner in the online weekly [Continue reading VERIFICATION OF PCH WINNERS($1,000,000 USD)]

Unpaid-Beneficiary.

“It is obvious” that this is a scam. You weren’t expecting a payment of $1.8m from Nigeria, were you? Of course you weren’t.

Just ignore this scammer. If you make the mistake of replying, you will find yourself being asked to send money.

Unpaid-Beneficiary

It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of $1.8million due to past corrupt Governmental Officials [Continue reading Unpaid-Beneficiary.]
