[Scam]: Your Award Fund Has Been Recovered Contact Us Immediately. READ THE ATTACHMENT BELOW4/5/2011
The "FBI" is contacting you, with a free e-mail address, of course, that says "your Winner's Fund" was "abandoned in a UK bank by you." What "fund"? And which "bank"? I don't know about you, but I've never been outside North America LOL. The "fund" was "claimed by an unknown person," and it has been "transferred to Africa" (where else?) by "the imposters." The scammers claim they sent "their delegate" to "apprehend the imposter," and your fund is now "in the hands of the EFCC of Nigeria." That's why they're saying "your fund" has been "recovered." Only it's not really the EFCC, of course, it's just the scammer saying he's got your nonexistent fund. I've never seen a Nigerian 419 Scam written quite this way, it could be a fresh one, just made up. Click Here for some more samples, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated.
Hey I got some nice souvenirs with this little gem. It included a joint UK / South African flag, a 2010 World Cup image from last year, and I even got an image of someone's signature. You can see them if you click on the link below.
My e-mail has won the British - South African 2011 Online Lottery Draw held in London during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Um, no, it hasn't. Neither has yours. If you didn't actually go out to buy a paper lottery ticket, you didn't win. There is no money, guaranteed. This is just a lottery scam.

The World Bank and the United Nations are both coming to my "rescue" to get me my "payment" of $650,000! "My e-mail address" is supposedly among one of "listed scam victims," and I "should quit paying money to the 'wrong' people." These are the wrong people, this is just another Nigerian 419 Scam. The money does not exist and it never did. To see more of these scam samples, Click Here, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated.
Someone by the Hebrew name of "אוטומציה," which is translated by Google as "Automation," wants you to believe that you are the winner in the "on-going Guinness National Promo" to "celebrate 250 years" of various types of Guinness Beer, and your e-mail address was "selected." Listen up: No corporation runs any kind of lottery or sweepstakes. They certainly don't run any "promotions" where they are giving large quantities of money away to individual people. Sure, Guinness might give away some beer every now and then. But no company anywhere chooses e-mail addresses as "winners." If you didn't buy a paper ticket, you didn't win.

Our latest entry comes from a scammer claiming to be the son of one of the secretaries of Hosni Mubarek, an "Abdulrahman Ibrahim." It's not. Since the Egyptian government has "frozen assets," according to him, he claims that he wants your help in laying his hands on $45 million in cash, which is already on its way to "your country." He doesn't say which one, of course, because he doesn't know where you live. Oh, and for your "help," you get 20 percent LOL. I called this one a delivery scam, because that what he seems to want "help" with. You can see more of those, and this entry, by Clicking Here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated.
These scammers say "this is the second time we are notifying you" about this. No, it's not. They are pretending to represent Barclays Bank in London, and say that you have an "inheritance file." The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and Nigerian Finance Ministry have "contracted" the bank to make sure you get your "inheritance" of $28.5 million. They say that "fraudsters" have been preventing the release of your "fund," though, even though you've "paid all fees," and they claim that you don't have to pay anything else. They Are the Fraudsters. Never Doubt That. If you contact them, the claim that you don't have to pay anything else will change very quickly. They want you to obtain some "clearance form" with which your "fund" will be transferred to your account "within five working days," which, of course, will cost another "fee." Of course, and as always, they want you to respond to a free e-mail address LOL. Click Here for a few more 419 scams from London, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated.
Yes, get back to the scammer immediately. Don't think too long about whether it could be a scam or not LOL. "Jack Zellman" is supposed to be some sort of "UN Inspector" working at the airport in Atlanta. He says he's got some "metal trunk boxes" with your name on them, but of course he has BCC'd a whole list of undisclosed recipients. He also says they contain millions of dollars, but that the shipper "abandoned them and ran away" LOL. Now just who do you suppose is going to "run away" from millions of dollars unless it was illegal in some way? Click Here for more silly delivery stories, and Click Here for a UPS delivery scam.

Delivery Scams UPS Delivery Scam Here is another type of 419 Scam where they say they have your money loaded onto an ATM card, and all they need to send it to you is some sort of fee, as always. In this case it's a "stamp duty." Click Here to see this entry, but there is only one there so far.

Have you noticed how the scammers are now using first and last names that are interchangeable? Otherwise they might have said something like "Fowler Frank." "Bruce Michael," for example, claims to be an "attorney" who had a rich client, and yet the name of his "law firm" is "Bruce & Partners" LOL. It doesn't say how much he supposedly left behind, but highlights that the rest of his family "died" in the Sumatran tsunami in 2004. His "heart related condition" is what killed him, due to "the death of his family," so he has no heirs and left no will, of course. "Bruce," as always, wants you to respond to a free e-mail address @vf.vc. What's that? Why, it's a Windows Live ID, of course! Related Links: Next-of-Kin Scams.
Here's another scammer, pretending to be "Ban Ki-Moon," Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN). He says "we've been having a meeting with the secretary to the UN." So I guess ol' Ban was having a meeting with himself LOL. It's another one of those scams that says the UN is going to "compensate" everyone, worldwide, who has ever been scammed. Um, hey buddy, I betcha didn't know that there's also a Secretary-General to the League of Arab States, didja? How about all the Arabs who have been "scammed"? You're gonna "compensate" them too, huh? More of these ridiculous scam samples can be seen Here, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated.
