Saw this in my work mail



This lady/man sounds like he-she's in real trouble, I'll send payment ASAP

wow ...sounds absolutely legit to me

lol...so she has your full bank account information and file, but she needs your name, address, and phone number.

Totally makes sense.

I just cant fathom how these scam artists think that their emails could be possibly seen as legitimate. I guess maybe a 5 year old would fall for it?

Perhaps I should send a reply using a secondary Hotmail account? Being the ravishing young British SAS sniper that I am perhaps if she can maker her way to our secret camp in Liberia we can get her the aid she needs.

I'm glad he/she/it provided the bank's acronym immediately following the bank's name. I was starting to think her place of employment was made up.

I'd be careful though. I think you're dealing with a inter-dimensional being as it refers to itself as "we" in a couple of places like, "The only thing I will need to release this fund is a Special Hard Disk, we call it HD120 GIG". Read between the lines. This email has legion written all over it.

Actually, it seems pretty smart to me.

The letter is clearly targeted at people who have ALREADY been victim of the 409 scam. You'd think "once bitten, twice shy", but by targeting the especially gullible with a story that plays off the first scam this is actually fairly sophisticated.

Miss Caroline Owen?
How Delightfully English, I say!

Not Miss Kwalita Nngogoba?
That sounds a bit more Ghanaian.

Spam the Spammmers!

I get these every week and sometimes they are titled from the FBI.gov in the sender line.

When they do that, I just forward the email to the FBI.

Really I do!

Be wary. I got caught in one of these things. They promised if I sent $5,000 to establish the account for transferring, they would transfer in $5,000,000 which would result in me receiving $2,000,000. Well they lied ! They only gave me $1,250,000. So they cheated me out of $750,000 dollars of what I was promised and didn't return the $5,000 I sent to open the account.

Its been discovered that all of these emails can be traced back to Mrs. Clinton's personal server.

It's a dude.

Got a great one from a FBI agent a couple of weeks ago.
And this one.
Ha suckers I am going to be rich. Rich I tell you.Lol

Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is a direct marketing company that markets merchandise and magazine subscriptions with sweepstakes, prize-based game, search, and lottery websites.

Publishers Clearing House was founded in 1953 by Harold Mertz to replace door-to-door magazine subscription sales by a single vendor offering multiple subscriptions by mail. It introduced its sweepstakes in 1967. In the early 1990s the company was the subject of concerns and legal actions regarding whether consumers were misled about their odds of winning the sweepstakes and whether purchases increased their chances. By 2010 the company had reached settlements with all 50 states.

The company acquired search company Blingo in 2006,[6] online gaming company Funtank in 2010, and mobile marketing company Liquid Wireless in 2012.

It's funny how they make these scam email sound officials and are warning you to not fall for scams when they are the scammers themselves.

If they're not offering to deliver the cash in a white panel van with FREE CANDY spray painted on the sides I'd be suspicious.

Otherwise, totally legit.

I get 2-3 phone calls every day from numbers that are not already saved in my contact list and I don't answer and it goes to voice mail after 4 rings.

I put those numbers in Bing and Google search and they always come back as some scam or some you won a vacation bs.

Then I save them under Do Not Anwer # so and so. I am up to Do Not Answer #323 now.

The Do Not Call List is useless.

These criminals and scammers and telemarketers do not follow the laws.

Or sometimes they will leave an automated message on the voice mail saying this is a call for Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith, which is definitely not me, if you are not Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith press 1 now to remove yourself from our list (which even if you do, it doesn't stop anything - it just tells them there is a REAL LIVE person on this # so they will keep calling) or if YOU ARE Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith press 2 to be connected to a representative.

Since it went to voice mail and there is no one to press 1 and 2, the message continues:

your file has come across our desk for review. It is very important that you call us regarding your file. Your file # is long set of letters and numbers.

To avoid any further action on our part and to settle this right now, please call so and so #.

There are a lot of debt collection companies that are illegally calling people on debt they don't owe and use scare tactics and just hope if one out of 10 people they call return their call, then they got them hook line and sinker.

You call them and they ask your name and you tell them your name and all of a sudden the blank space on their file where the name was is now filled your name and they say Hi Mr. Smith, we have this file here that says you owe so and so $ and if you don't pay up, we will have you arrested or garnish your wages or put a lien on your property (all illegal), etc etc

One time I happened to be busy and answer the phone by accident without looking at the caller ID and some foreign sounding guy was trying to collect $ owe by a person with an Asian last name and I am not even Asian.

But he kept saying it is you, isn't it? I know it's you! You are Mr. Asian last name.

I told him F U and hang up!

Seems legit!

Go with it Peally. She's sworn with her life for god's sake. That's integrity.
