E-mail scams >_<

The Chief Auditor/Information manager,
In-Charge of Foreign Unit
African Development Bank Group,
Ouaga. Burkina-Faso.
Dear Good Friend,

I am MR belo ahmed, The Chief Auditor/Information Manager, In-Charge of Foreign
Unit of our bank and i have had the intent to contact you over this financial
transaction/transfer worth the sum of Twenty Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars (US$29.2M)for our progress and richness.This is an abandoned sum that belongs to our late foreign customer (an International Billionaire French Businessman) who died in plane crash disaster since three years ago along with his wife.

[i didnt know i was french]

I was opportuned to see the deceased deposit file bearing this huge amount
of money when i was inspecting the dated and current customers files in other
to sign and submit to the entire bank management for an official validation
/ re-documentation against the statement approval to the account holders
for the year. In a swift investigation carried out by me, i found out that
non of the deceased relative is aware of the abandoned fund except his late wife.
As a result of that, it is an extremely confidential matter between me and you.
Hence you are a foreigner to our country,

[really? i thought i was from africa]

you are authorized by our Banking
law to apply and claim the fund into your account as the NEXT-OF-KIN to the
deceased. For assisting me to get the fund transferred into your bank account,
the ratio of 40% of the total sum is for your share whereas 60% is for me
as business pioneer.

Please i need your urgent response on assurance of trust that you will not
deny my right of the share once the fund gets into your account because i
am a poor civil servant who depend on little monthly salary. That you are
the one who will help me to get visa to your country immediately i resign
from my work on the instant of the transfer into
your account.

[its called immigration stupid]

If you are realy sure of your integerity, trustworthy, and confidentiality,
reply urgently and to prove that, include your particulars as follows.

Private telephone and fax numbers?..........1-800-callatt
Country of Origin?.................................africa!
Your occupation?..................................yes
Your official age?...................................11
Your passport or ID card number?..............666
In sincerity,
Mr belo ahmed.



does anyone else get these? cus i get them everyday. got them? post them!

i totally posted this in the wrong section. cassini!

[Sparky]

Although I agree this can be entertaining this belongs in the Way Off Topic area so I'm moving it. Entertainment is for TV, movies, books, games etc.

The best email scam I ever got remains that one from the guy looking for someone to help him travel through time. I think I posted it in the Spam section a while ago.

[Subzeroace]

Oooohoho.... Yes. I get them and... other things... pills... other things x.x about 30 a day. I'm always amazed when I get something thats not spam in my e-mail.

[vinny]

[QUOTE=Sparky;61923]Although I agree this can be entertaining this belongs in the Way Off Topic area so I'm moving it. Entertainment is for TV, movies, books, games etc.

i sent a PM to ORD about it so its his fault. jk ord
[confucius say sparky snap faster then dragon.]

[Sparky]

Well I had put this in Way Off Topic, looks like someone else moved it to Spam? Okay then.

[vinny]

haunted forum!

who you gonna call - ghost busters.

cassini and his bag of tricks im sure >_> lol

[Cassini90125]

Wasn't me.

[One Radical Dude]

Ugh, it was me. I wasn't sure where to move it, but I guess we both tried to move it at the same time. :P

Anyway, I get a lot of things in the email that I shouldn't mention here. Mostly nasty stuff. :macwor:

[Sagerian]

Oh my god! $29.2M! You lucky bugger, go for it before you miss out.

[vinny]

Oh my god! $29.2M! You lucky bugger, go for it before you miss out.

OK! and ill make a donation. NF would be in 3-D

* i had this really off the wall dream about being in the future, and the forum, i dont know if it was this one, was like 3-D. and the chat room was a actual room. kinda like in futurama.

[Sparky]

The topic can stay here as long as people actually *discuss* stuff...

And remember that the topic is email SCAMS not just spam emails or ads for porn, Viagara, Canadian Pharmacies etc. Unless those are scams...maybe they are...Anyways I love getting those scam emails from people trying to make you think its an official email from eBay or Paypal, and then you read it and there's typos and stuff, lol. Oh yeah, I'm fooled! :jk: Anyways whether an email looks official or not I don't ever click links in them (unless I'm expecting an activation email for a forum like this for example), I just go to the site and go to my account and take care of business that way.

[One Radical Dude]

What about those with "job offers"? Eh, some of them I get on my inbox sound too good to be true, and some of them are office management positions. :P Not exactly what I'm looking for, lol.

[vinny]

how about the classic "you, won a free ipod" lol

[Cassini90125]

I've gotten a few pretending to be from Paypal over the last couple of years. Unfortunately they're very well done; correct spelling, words used in the proper context, the works. Even the graphics are consistent with a real Paypal email. The message is usually something about a $300.00 iPod or an Xbox or some similar crap that I would never buy. They say I did, they suspect fraud, and are trying to correct everything, but they need my PIN to make the corrections. That's the givaway right there, the PIN request. No one other than me needs to know my PIN, period. I forward copies of the scam to everyone who I think should know about it and alert my bank.

[Sagerian]

I've seen some pretty clever ebay and paypal ones. Well worded and all that, the only giveaway is the link, it's usually a subdomain like ebay.blahblah.com

So I clicked the link and it goes to what looks exactly like an ebay or paypal logon screen. I typed a fake username and password in and here's the genius part, it spits out an "incorrect password" message and then redirects you to the correct logon page. So the user types in their details again, gets in and just assumes they mis-typed the first time, meanwhile your details have already been sent off.

Some of them are tricky, but as Cassini90125 said, no one needs to know or confirm or require you to change your details but you.

[jekylljuice]

I received a fairly official-looking one claiming to be from Ebay a few years ago, asking for a whole wad of personal details. What surrendered the game early on is that they wanted to know not only my email address, but the password to my email account as well. Now, what business could that possibly be of theirs? I didn't stick with it long enough to know if my PIN number was also featured on their list of demands...either way, like hell were they getting anything from me. :madbloo:

Fortunately, my junk mail filter does a reliable job of barring suspect emails from my inbox overall, so all I usually have to worry about are chain emails passed on from "well-intentioned" friends advising me to forward them to ten more unlucky souls in order to get a free hand-out from Bill Gates/save a non-existent sick child dying from cancer/avoid dying a slow and agonising death within the next few days. ::) I covered some of my feelings on the latter in the "Post to Post" thread last week. Such chain emails are a waste of space.

If anyone's interested, they have a whole directory dedicated to individual email scams over on Snopes.com. It makes for a pretty entertaining read: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/scams.asp

[Medikor]

I get scam-mail all the time. It's always stuff saying one of the following...

1: You have won $1,000,000 in a foreign lottery!

2: Hello, I'm "So-and-so", and I would like you to be the one to invest in this very profitable venture...

3: This is the "Whozitz" bank and we would like to inform you that some rich person with no family has died. Via a draw, you have been chosen to inherit the fortune.

All of these end with the request of my personal info. Stay away from these turkeys, people.

[Bloonan]

That sounds funny, actually... I rarely check my email (like I ever get anything important, nobody submitts to my site), so I wouldn't know about these scams.

[vinny]

did this get moved again?

nother one-
RE: HELPING TO FULFIL WILL EXECUTION
Dear Sir,
I send you greetings. Quite aware that we have not previously been
engaged in correspondence, this mail may therefore look astonishing to
you.
But I want to assure that you won't have anything to regret in any way
responding and engaging in some profiting ventures with me as I would
like to divulge in my subsequent mail.
May I ask and receive from you permission to present you as a
beneficiary to the Will of one of my trusted clients? My client and his
whole
family members where involved in the Sharja air crash on the 25th of
July
2004.
Since after this unfortunate incidence, I have not been able to locate
any member of his family to be presented to his bank for claims of his
deposit as the law permits.
On receipt of your response and indicate your willingness to work with
me, I will send to you full details and more information about myself
and the said funds to elicit your better understanding.
As I am yet to get your consent on this issue, I prefer not to divulge
my full identity so as not to risk being disbarred by the British Bar.
Due to the risk involved in disclosing confidential correspondence and
the activities of fraudsters now rampant on the internet, and until I
am sure of your consent, full cooperation and genuine willingness to
offer your assistance for our mutual benefit, I would prefer that we
maintain correspondence by email only. My personal email address is:
nigagric@indiatimes.com
Yours sincerely,
David Adams

[antgirl1]

Any of the scams, I just delete them without even reading them.

[vinny]

but sending them fake info is the funnest part!

[Bloonan]

You've done that? What did you type?

[Cassini90125]

I would give them the name and address of whoever was most annoying to me at the time. Unfortunately when responding to an email ad, be it a scam or legit, that confirms to the sender that it's a legitimate email address, and the amount of junk email you receive increases a hundredfold overnight. It's best to simply delete the garbage without responding and be done with it.

LOL thats so funny, i'v done that before to back stabbing friends and my old boss

[Lynnie]

I get these every so often, but I think I got one worth sharing today.
Dear Friend,

It has been long we communicate last, am so sorry for the delay, I want to Inform you that your cheque of ($850.000.00) Which my boss asked me to mail to you as soon as you requested it, it is still with me. But due to some minure issue you fails to respond at the Approprete time, and presently the cheque is with me here in BENIN REPUBLIC. Though i had a new contact from a friend of mine who works with one security company here in BENIN REPUBLIC that will deliver you your cheque at your door step with a cheeper rate, which the company said that it will cost you the sum of $98 usd,

So you have to Contact them and register with them right now.Only what you will Contact them and send your full information such: Your directcelphone Number, Home or Office: Address to Avoid wrong Delivery, You should also tell the Company to give you the Information and how you will send them the Delivery fee ($98 usd) Immediately you Contact them before the cheque $850.000.00 will be delivered to your Door step.

Below is the Courier Company contact address: IMPEX SECURITY COMPANY CONTACT PERSON: REV MARK KELLY, EMAIL:impexdubenin111@myway.com
Please do get back to me as soon as you have contacted the security company so that i can be able to submit
your cheque to them immediately.

Thank you.
Mr. Joseph Martin
It might almost look "real", but the obvious fact that they address me as "Friend" even though they supposedly have a cheque written out to me, and also the spelling and grammar errors, makes it highly suspicious. And pay $98 to have a cheque delivered? Yeah, suusssspiiiiiiiiiiciouuuuuuuuuss!!

[Cassini90125]

The spelling errors are a dead givaway; it's impossible to take anyone who spells that bad seriously. Print it and post it on the office wall so your co-workers can point at it and laugh. 8D

This classic piece of literature was written by a "woman" who calls herself Carmen, who has been spamming a huge number of Yahoo! groups for years, always with links to singles sites designed to part lonely people from their money. That's the case here as well. Pretty reprehensible, if you ask me. :frankiemad:

I responded, by the way, but the rules prohibit posting that kind of language. :eek: :bendy:

[kageri]

Oh, way to go, Lynnie! You didn't respond at the Approprete time and now you've lost yourself $850.000.00. >[

i just thought of something, this had to of happen one point in time. what would happen if one of these was real? XD

[Cassini90125]

Nothing. Not responding to a real offer nets the same result as not responding to a scam.

[Sparky]

LOL!! I just got a fake Paypal scam email posing as a "fight Paypal phishing scams!" email. 8D

[pitbulllady]

Here's a classic, always from some currently-deposed member of some African royal family, who desparately needs our help to regain his/her throne, with the promise that once in power again, he/she will reward you handsomely with family assets, which are currently frozen by the individual in power. In order to get your money, you have to SEND money or your bank account number/credit card number, to finance the royal family's return to power. Here's an example of something similar that recently spammed the Studebaker Drivers Club forum:



"From Princess Joyce Hansan,

Honestly don't think there's many marxists left for you to beat up in Africa, Partymember. Not since Mengistu fell anyway but if you can track him or his gang down, give him one from me and all the rest of us idiots who paid for his ethnic cleansing via charity in the 80s.

First e-mail scam i got was supposedly from the son of General Abacha, the former Nigerian military dictator. Silly old me thought it was for real and fowarded it to the democratic authorities who didn't even bother replying, obviously. As it turns out, most of those scams do indeed originate in Nigeria.

alright :P it sucks being sold out by your ideology, doesn't it? I'm trying to pay these guys back, get my money's worth. I see it ths way: take how much i invested in their little utopian fart and divide that by $0.15, thats how much one bullet for an AK-47 or an SKS costs in the States right now...jeez, i may be paying them back for a while.

I just got this today. Looks pretty authentic, huh? Especially when looking at it with the BOA logo and all, which it did have. Well, at hovering my cursor over the links and keeping my eye on the status bar, I can see without a doubt that this is NOT real. That and I don't currently have any accounts at BOA.

Oh, and another thing, see the first date up there? Uhm, hello? It's still July 2.

[Sparky]

I get LOTS of BoA scam emails (I do have an account with them). But then I get a lot of scam emails for other banks too. Guess they gotta cover all their bases. :wiltyeahright: But yeah typos and weird dates always give those people away. I always hover my cursor over the links to see what weirdo addys show up, even when I already know it's a scam.

[taranchula]

I get Bank E-Mail scams too...usually from a "bank" I don't have an account with. :P

[idril]

I love fake emails. Love reading them, love responding to them, love reading stories about people who mess with them and stuff.

What really got me was that people do it to people who are adopting/giving up their pets. I was in a situation where one of the dogs with back problems needed to find a home or to be euthanized within a week. I even posted on Craigslist (never thought I'd do but I did find some good people). You can only imagine how I got a little hopeful when I got 4 emails in response to a Petfinder ad I put up about him, ALL scams. Not so funny anymore :(

All followed along the lines of...

" Hello
am jenny cross i saw the advert of your posted pet and i am highly intrested in adopting your pet to my good home .i lost my pet few days ago so i will like to adopt your to reduce tragedy in my mind..i will like you to tell me the present condition of the pet including the food that the pet eat..i will also like you to tell me the adoption fees including the cage if available,as pet lover i will surely take good care of the pet...if you allow me to adopt your pet you can come for the visiting of the pet if you like....i will urge you to tell me the pet name and much more about the pet..
best regard "

(The dog's fine now. He's living in Texas :))

Is it a scam because they kept saying "pet" instead of "dog"? And that they asked about a cage? It does sound like a generic message, but why would someone mass-mail posters of pet adoption ads, what would it accomplish? :terrconf:

$20.6 million? AW SWEET!!

[WiltsAKGirl17]

Yeah, I got this email a while back, too. It came through my junk folder, so I didn't pay it much attention-- just read it once and deleted it. When the next email came, I just hit "Mark as Unsafe."

Woot woot. :D

[idril]

"Is it a scam because they kept saying "pet" instead of "dog"? And that they asked about a cage? It does sound like a generic message, but why would someone mass-mail posters of pet adoption ads, what would it accomplish?

That was the only email I saved, unfortunately and it doesn't really tell the scam clearly, but other emails said they would have a pet transportation service come to my house for a fee of x amount of dollars through a cashier's check. After I caught on, I replied to two or three and all used the same tactic of a 'pet transportation service'.
Some of them were pretty blunt about it too, they said they'd like my pet and want to know of the nearest airport.

[Sparky]

Got this one just now:

Reply: an orphan cries

I am Raymond Danta the only son of Mr. Danta a licensed solid mineral
(gold, diamond, etc) exporter before he passed away. Before his death my
father, apparently, married a woman who became my stepmother because my
mother died when i was very young. My stepmother already had two children
of about my age, and they came with her to live in my Father's house. I
discovered that there was some ill-feeling from my stepmother towards me,
since then i have been badly treated; being forced to undertake work
befitting only a servant, in my father's own house. When my father died
instead of being in the state of mourns as custom demand, she went as much
as desired and claimed my father's property as well into the future
regarded as a possible danger to my live.

My father before passing away informed me privately that he had an account
valued eight million one hundred and twenty thousand euro (8,120,000euro)
which he intend to transfer into his foreign associate's account for
investment abroad on my behalf, this money he acquired from the export
contract he secured and executed under the umbrella of the government.

Truly i don't know you but considering my situation and security, couple
with an uncontrollable crisis between the rebels and government, my live
is no more protected here. I confided on your assistance and write with
every respect due to your good person and ask that you assist me to get
the money transfer to your bank account on my behalf as my late father's
foreign associate to your country for investment.

So please i want to know you better. I am willing to offer you 812,000euro
for your assistance after the successful transfer of this money for
investment; I have plans to do investment in your country, like real
estate, industrial production or any other lucrative investment you bring
to my notice in your country.

Please if you are willing to assist me, indicate your interest by sending
your phone number & address so that I can communicate with you at any
time. I will be waiting for your response.

thanks

Didn't Cinderella start like that? :bloocross:

[Cassini90125]

This popped up in my mailbox this morning. As it arrived via a Yahoo! Group devoted to Foster's, some of the rest of you may have seen it, too:

You're really cute. I wanna get to know you. Here's my profile with many photos Reach me here.
(Link removed)

Uh, yeah. I got an identical copy through another Yahoo! Group as well. These things annoy the hell out of me. Both were unceremoniously deleted.

[Lynnie]

Yup, I got that just tonight in one of the "Daily Digests", although they don't come daily. Which is actually a good thing because it seems every single post made the last few months has been similar to near identical. That being said, I'm always amused when someone replies to them. I especially liked that link to some science page, as if hoping the spammer will look at it and gain some intelligence. 8D

It was a fascinating page, actually. ;)

[Lynnie]

I'm good at not only bumping, but also double posting today.

Eh hem...

This is circulating around MySpace right now. It was sent to me by a friend who, though bless her heart, can be gullible. :-X After scrolling through a total of 13 headers, I finally read

Myspace system is getting too crowded!! We need you to forward this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this to at least 10 Myspace members, we will delete your account. WARNING!
We want to find out which users are actually using their Myspace accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this email to every Myspace user that you can. IF YOU DO NOT PASS this letter to anyone we will delete your account.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Ok, for one thing, they do delete nonactive accounts, and they know they're nonactive by looking through the database, so forwarding a PM is totally not necessary. For another thing, the more people use MySpace, the more money they make (though funding by advertisers). And third, if there was a problem, MySpace sends out an alert that pops up on your home page, they wouldn't expect you to forward a personal message to everyone you know. And, oh well whatdia' know! There's an alert that popped up just now saying

There's a chain letter going around encouraging people to forward a message in order to prove their MySpace account is active. The message says you need to do this in order to keep your MySpace account from being deleted. This is NOT true. Please do not forward these messages. You're just spamming your friends. Check out my latest blog for some MySpace updates.


And this is from the real Tom, who is employed by MySpace as the customer support rep.

[jekylljuice]

Yeah, I've gotten the exact same message myself a few times, only for my Hotmail account. It was pretty much word for word the same.

As with so many of these email scams/hoaxes, the cheapness of the font and layout is a dead giveaway - I'm pretty confident that if Hotmail were to issue a legitimate warning of this nature (and it's highly dubious that they ever would), they'd opt for a much more professional-looking layout. Same goes for Bill Gates - if you're that mind-bendingly weathly and are seriously going to send out emails promising free hand-outs to anyone who forwards it to so many of their online buddies (yeah, I know, just play along), then surely you could afford to splash out on a bit of style while you're at it.

Something new to point at and laugh:

(Alleged street address removed)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.

All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then, I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of their extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating a fund valued at USD$13Million,(Thirteen million United States Dollars),left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.

The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

Therefore, I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer, internal revenue tax and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me towards any profitable investment in your country. All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legal framework and legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

[Lynnie]

Hm, they died while on vacation to Bobo, and Mr. Agese is keeping 60% of "your" money. And another 10% goes toward the IRS and phone bills. Yup. 8D

[Cassini90125]

The part I like best:

Dear Friend,...

I got your contact at the office of the Chamber of commerce and Tourism in Ouagadougou Burkina faso as I was going through some directories.

Interesting that the directories had my email address but not my name. 8D

[taranchula]

It appears to be some kind of job offer...But I think it's a scam of some sort.

Considering that A: I haven't sent out any resumes in the past few months or so B: If I was, it would certainly not be to any company whose communications contain some of the worst grammar I have ever seen in quite some time, and C: The person who sent the message was named (and I am not making this up) "scheme Barnes"

Anyways here is the message, and a day old cookie to anyone who can count all of the grammatical errors. :bloogrin:


Your info was founded at J o b S h a r k.ca portal.

I once got a similar scam a while ago. Long gone now.

[CrazyPhil]

Wow, those are some pretty entertaining pieces of, um, "literature" you've all found, especially the "flawless" spelling and punctuation.::)

AS for me, I do get scams but of a different variety. Sure, when I'm browsing the net I always get the classic "free ipod" or wii or any number of things, and for the most part I ignore them, but what really pisses me off are those fake anit-virus adds. I go to open a webpage and all of a sudden I'm taken to a separate window and some unkown program claims to have detected thousands of critical viruses in my computer. Interesting, considering I run a virus scan every week and I usually find 2 or 3 at the most. It really angers me because these things are more than likely viruses themselves masquerading as the very software that's supposed to protect against them. Oh, and if you do a word of advice: DO NOT CLICK THE PROGRAM, NOT EVEN TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. Instead, bring up your task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and end the program from there. It's much safer as even closing the window can download the virus onto your computer. So, does anyone else get those?

[Cassini90125]

Yeah, I've gotten those. Dang nuisances they are. If it's detected anything at all then it was scanning my computer without authorization so even if it's a legitimate program (which it's not) I'm not going to have anything to do with it. No one scans my machine without my consent, period. :frankiemad:

Had a similar couple of these myself, yesterday, both supposedly from my bank, HSBC, saying that my account had apparently been suspended. I didn't open either for fear of virus infection, but the giveaway was that "HSBC" was spelt "Hsbc" in the message title. Thank goodness for the delete button. :)

[Lynnie]

Here's another semi-entertaining tidbit I received just this evening-

From the desk of Dr. Henry Salami,
The Audit Section of the Presidency,
Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Attention: The beneficiary,

Dear Sir,

Re: Payment Instruction for your outstanding claim.

For succinct introduction, I am Dr. Henry Salami of the above named Section of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN). The presidency has mandated the Audit Section

to handle all foreign Contract awarded and commissioned since 1985 till date.

Based on that your file has been forwarded to my office for review and subsequent

payment to those contracts that was genuinely awarded and commissioned.

Based on the review carried out on your claim, I discovered that the claim you are

laying was grossly over-invoiced and inflated to that magnitude by some officials

who contacted you to provide an account to receive the fund simply because the

code of conduct bureau does not permit civil servants to run or operate foreign

account. You are presented to receive the fund ($5.1M) as the beneficiary.

I have discovered that at no time did you execute any contract for the Federal

Republic of Nigeria, that you are contacted by some officials who presented you as

the beneficiary just because Contract payment falls within their area of

jurisdiction. Their aim is to divert the fund for you all to share mutually. I

discovered and decided to contact you though you might find it difficult to

believe but it is just the hard truth and so much money has been spent in these

matter.


I am contacting you just for one reason that the fund can still be paid if I

recommend because my discovery has not be revealed to anyone yet and I don't want

to cancel the payment out rightly because it will not go down well with you. I

want to let you know that the fund can be paid if you are ready to follow my

advise and work secretly with me due to the fact that I have interest in the fund

. I want to benefit from it, so let me know what
will be my share out of it then I will go ahead and correct the anomalies and your

past mistakes for the fund to be paid to you in seven working days.I am writing

you with the spirit that you have seen that this is the truth but it will be very

difficult to believe. As an Auditor attached to the Presidency, I am interested in

the fund and I will like us to do the business together then I will write a

favorable report about the claim for
the immediate release of the fund or I will put up a report that will lead to the

total cancellation of the payment. I know you have lost much money in Lobbying the

officials to get the approvals.

At the precise moment, the claim has been processed, we are irrevocably mandated

to debit the Federal Government account and credit the beneficiary's account. It

might interest you to note that seven working day from the moment you acknowledge

the receipt of this mail and agree on my terms will be enough to confirm the fund

transfered into your account provided you abide by my rules and also maintain the

confidentiality of the transaction to avoid anything that will discredit my

reputation. I advice you discontinue any further communication with any other

person for us to proceed in concrete fashion.

Waiting for your response as a matter of urgency as the first Payment Quarter will

come to end shortly. Do reconfirm your current telephone. It is for effective

communication.


Revert with utmost urgency.

Thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Dr. Henry Salami.
Auditor of the Federation. (FGN

Huh, he's interested in it and wants me to share my money with him, and wants me to contact him secretly. Oh, and he called me "Sir". Mmm hmm. And who talks like this? Not even the most professional people would write such a long winded letter to a stranger. I felt like I was reading a case file or something. :P

[Cassini90125]

Dr. Henry Salami?? As in "lunch meat"? That's priceless. 8D

[Lynnie]

Hehe, I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if it is a real sirname.

[xxxClaire]

I'm sure there's someone out there named Salami... There's a guy at my school who's surname is Ham. :bloocross:

[Invader Bloo]

Not as bad as some of the first names that celebrities give their kids. Apple, Moses, (Nicole Richie or whoever used to hang out with Paris Hilton had a kid & called it) Sparrow. & don't forget balloon boy who's real name is Falcon....(PAWNCH!).

This arrived in my mailbox about a half-hour ago:

I just got this in my inbox:

Hi Albert, don't know if you remember, I was introduced to through a friend a few years ago. I'm sorry for emailing you out of the blue, I'm just smiling because my wife has made news lately and I want everyone to read it because I'm so proud.

do not know about your cash situation right now but if you are like everyone else, and looking for extra income, I suggest you read her article (US Dream Job - Local Report) it may help you, as it did me.

I'm now rolling im money and get to do my favorite thing, love life and brag about my wife

Haaa, I'm not Albert.:P Sounds like a scam anyway.

[Sparky]

Is anybody else getting a ton of Facebook scam mails lately? I don't even have a Facebook, so I knew right away it was a scam. Unfortunately my admin email for fosters-home.com has somehow gotten out and I'm getting hit in that inbox too. :P It's only supposed to be for forum errors and stuff, so that's annoying.

[ryanjf97]

well...
someone hacked my old email and sent something like

"I bought a really cheap ipod touch off (a website link). If you're looking for something cheap go now before it disappears.
Hugs and kisses,
Ryan XOXOX"

this is stupid! i never buy anything off sites except ebay! and nothing over $50.

[Sparky]

Are you sure they hacked your account? I get emails that appear to have been sent from my own address all the time, but they haven't really been. Kids sometimes use my address to register on MMORPG sites as adults and stuff that way. If people spam hiding behind your account you can even be reported as a spammer. It's a pain.

[antgirl1]

This wasn't an email, but it's the DA equivalent:

"EMERGENCY, VIRUS ON THE LOOSE!

If someone by the name of Alfred Hundana (dragon_heart620) wants to add you to their buddy list, don't accept it. It's a virus. Please tell everyone on your lists, because if someone on your list addes them, you may get the virus too. This virus is a hard-drive killer. We need to find out who is using this account.

Very sorry for the inconvenience.

(To send to everyone on your list, just click the drop-down menu in the Recipient field and click 'Unsorted' or whatever the group name for you buddy list is."

If you get something like this, ignore it. It's spam, and it's fake. The "person" who actually signed up on DA with a similar username's already banned.

I almost sent it to all who watch me, but I wanted to try blocking first. No matter what I did, it wouldn't work, so I searched the person's username, and all that came up was hate pics and a "It's fake" pic. I clicked on that and in the description was a news article explaining that it's fake and all that. It's now one of my faved news. :D

But it still scared me a bit when I believed. XD

[ryanjf97]

@Sparky

No it was directly from my email address. It even got sent back to me because some email addresses in mine are only MSN. I use Hotmail BTW.

[Sparky]

This is now my favorite thing ever:

Dear Victim of a cruel hoax,

From Sandra Omaru
Abidjan. Cote dIvoire,
West Africa.

Hello dearest,
I deep it a respect and humble submission, I beg to state the following few lines for your kind consideration, I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read the following appeal with sympathetic mind. I must confess that it is with great hopes, joy and enthusiasm that I write you this email which I know and believe by faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health.

My name is Sandra Omaru, I am the only child of my late parents Chief. Mr. Williams Omaru. My father was a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days.

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 12th April 2009. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of mine who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special.

Before the death of my father on April 2009, he called me and informed me that he has the sum of Five Million, Six Hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$5,600,000.00) he deposited in a private Bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.. He told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave me all the necessary legal documents regarding to this deposit with the Bank,

I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want an honest and GOD fearing partner overseas who I can transfer this money with his assistance and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convenient for me to return back home if I so desire. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.

The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world.

I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

What percentage of the total amount in question will you take after the fund has being transferred to your account and I come over to meet you?

Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immediately I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter.

Kind Regards,
Sandra Omaru.

Not very creative, Sandra. :bloocross:

People should learn that when it comes to the internet, you can be anyone. I see so many folks giving their personal details to everybody without even thinking of the risks.

Everybody is being fooled by those social communities. I mean Facebook looks okay. But you never know what's behind it.

I want so bad to tell the e-mailers that I have an inheritance or windfall from somewhere I've never heard about that I was born in the afternoon, just not yesterday afternoon. But discretion (a.k.a. the "delete" button) is the better part of valor.

My new favorite:


Hello, my name is Vin, I am a master seduction artist, and I have developed an exciting sexy mind control technique that I am sharing with a select few men today. This sexy mind control technique will give you the ability to LEGALLY control a woman's mind and get her to do anything that you want her to do.

And when I say ANYTHING, I mean ANYTHING.......just use your imagination.

Now, these techniques are so EASY to learn, that you will master them in just a few days.

Here's the problem, these mind control techniques are so powerful that it may not be legal for too much longer for me to share them with other people.

So if you want to learn how to CONTROL a woman's mind, then you will need to watch my short video now while it's still LEGAL.
