This is strictly a poorly written fake job listing Don't fall for it! A box of rocks probably taught these guys how to write this scam-mail LOL. Here's another job scam that you might get from someone claiming to be Career Builder, but these guys don't claim to represent any company. They sent me multiple copies of this one, each with a different e-mail address at the same domain. The domain name is usaitcareer.com, so apparently they're trying to claim to be some sort of IT company, but the website is not active. They just receive e-mail at it. The "region" for the "job" is simply "United States," without mentioning any city or state. They simply say "welcome to our hiring process" and then describe scheduling as an "occupation." There is no mention of which "job" it's supposed to be, other than in one other subject line that claims it's "database management." Business hours are also listed in "U.S. time," without mentioning any of the U.S.'s six different time zones, from Hawaii-Aleutian to Eastern. Finally, they claim there are no startup fees, but you would shortly get a fake cashiers check in the mail that would bounce higher than Venus. For "this position," there are different position ID numbers attached to each e-mail address. As usual, these scammers are too lazy to write a convincing enough scam-mail to fool much of anyone.

"Hacking For Dummies" I wanted to blog this scam just because the English is so horrible. Don't help them though, let them figure it out on their own. It's a little different, because they're not actually asking for money - yet. They claim to have "arrested" three men who have supposedly scammed you out of a lot of money, and it sounds as if they'd like to return it to you out of the goodness of their hearts. They also ask that you not forward this scam-mail to anyone else, oh, like maybe the real Interpol LOL. This entry is linked here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You! This persistent, scamming little butthead has a big ego and a lot of nerve. He's attempting to get what he wants through sheer intimidation. If we don't respond, he's threatening to have our bank accounts closed by our cities' mayors, and also to cause us to lose our jobs wherever we work. Of course, he has no idea where we live or work whatsoever, and his threats are meaningless. Further "threats" continue afterward, such as jailing us for life and having our properties confiscated, then by trying to "shame" us because our families would supposely know that we are "wanted" by the FBI. If we would only comply and respond, all our "problems" can be "solved" with a $98 fee made through Western Union LOL.

Here's a freshly created scam that's been going around for a little while. Scammers always like to take advantage of major events, such as baseball's World Series or soccer's World Cup. The Olympics of whatever year is never an exception. If you have ever wondered whether the money being offered by strangers is real, please allow me to alleviate the wonder. The answer is always a resounding "No!" If you had access to millions of dollars or pounds, would you want to give it away to someone else? If you do not want to get ripped off, then please do not ever allow temptation to goad you into paying for something that simply does not exist. The one and only reason these people create these scams and send them out in the first place is because they are successful in stealing people's money. This has been going on for hundreds of years in one form or another, and the internet has made scamming extremely convenient. Stop falling for the scams, and the scammers and their e-mails will go away. Today, the scammers always want you to wire them money, because once they pick it up, it is gone for good, and you would have virtually no chance of getting it back. Western Union or MoneyGram will warn you about the scam, but in the end, if they cannot convince you that it is one, they cannot refuse to take your wiring fee. Even if the police caught the scammers and got it back, it would not surprise me if they kept it for themselves or for the department. P.T. Barnum said that there's a sucker born every minute. Opportunity may quietly knock just once, but temptation will loudly bang on your front door forevermore. Don't be a sucker. The money does not ever exist, and there are never any exceptions. Period.

These social media scams have been going on for awhile now, and this is one of the few I've seen that claims to come from Facebook. Scammers have also misrepresented MySpace, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, and a few others. I haven't seen a Twitter scam yet, for that matter.
Every single one of the e-mails you get that claim you've "won" millions of dollars are always scams, 100 percent of the time. There are never any exceptions to this rule, ever. Please do not be tempted by these scams, and never wire any cash to the scammers. If you already have, please stop right now. The so-called "money" does not exist, it never did, and there is virtually no possible way you can get your money back. This entry is linked here, and there are some lottery scam videos located here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank you. Sigh ... the Publishers Clearinghouse scammers are at it again, trying to convince you that you've "won" today's draw. Don't fall for this stuff. If you did win, PCH will never contact you by e-mail. They will either contact you by snail-mail, or they'll actually drop by your home.

Oprah gives more money to charity than anyone else Okay, sure, on her show one time, Oprah Winfrey gave away some cars. Another time she gave away $1,000 to each of her audience members, but they had to donate the money to charities of their choice. Oprah's a well-known billionaire who gives away millions of dollars every year, but ordinarily not to individual people. This practice is known as philanthropy. In order to "qualify" for David Moore's little million dollar "Oprah" scam, you need to fill out an "application." If you request details about his initial e-mail, and he sends it to you, there will still not be anything mentioned about the $285 "application fee." That part only comes at the bottom of the app. Of course, if you send the money, you will never see the million, and your "fee" will be gone, too. This isn't the only scam that "David" has tried to pull, either, because the phone number is still the same in the others. Someone will catch up with him sooner or later.

These scammers must be getting really desperate for money. Just look at all the purdy pitchers in this scam-mail! This is just another Nigerian 419 "United Nations" scam, but they're trying too hard to make it look legitimate. I'm not even sure who this "Dr. Peter Well" is. The claim is that he's the "West African UN Secretary," but there doesn't seem to be any information about him on the internet, other than on other websites that list this scam. This is the first I've seen of it.
Well, if you get this one, you can delete it, or you can scambait the scammers. I like the latter, but I'm actually not very good at it. The idea is to keep them bugging you until they give up. Use your imagination; just don't send them any money. That way, while they're bothering you, they won't be trying to scam anyone else.

Wow, just have a look at this beautiful piece of scammery, with all the "hotel jobs" that are supposedly available! Maybe they really are, but I don't live in the UK, so I'm not going to call them. This is another job scam, of course, but I just couldn't take a pass on this one. Are we sorry we're messing this up for this scammer, with all that hard work? Not at all! First off, s/he got the website address wrong, which is here. Then, as always, s/he wants us to contact him (or her) at a free e-mail address. You have to give this one credit, though, because it took a fair bit of work to put it together, and we admire that!

Oh good, here's a nice, fresh "dying" scam. I hadn't seen it yet, so I'm assuming that someone made it up pretty recently. Notice all the usual spelling and grammar errors, but don't help them. Let them figure English out on their own.
First off, the real Mrs. Christy Walton isn't very much older than I am. Second, this ridiculous scammer doesn't know very much about how many of her family are behind her, waiting to claim her estate, left to her by her late husband. Notice how much the scammer emphasizes the word "charity." I suspect that unless it's in Christy's will, charity will get very little of it whenever she does die, which hopefully, will not be for a good long while yet.
