This is always a scam. Don't Get Burned! Here's another MoneyGram scam. MG has no such "award." Despite the faltering economy in the U.S., these scammers still want your money. They realize that people aren't doing so well anymore but they don't care. They'll bleed the rest of the world dry if they can, and not lose a wink of sleep over it. There are still new people coming onto the internet everyday, who are not familiar with these ubiquitous scams, and they will jump on most anything these days that promises them quick and easy cash, particularly if they are in debt. I'm sorry to say that there is no such thing as "easy money," except if you can manage to hit your local lottery jackpot. Claims of overseas lottery "winnings" are also scams. None of these scams are ever real, and there are no exceptions whatsoever. This entry is posted here, and a top four money scam YouTube video is linked here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You! Here's another proposal scam in which the "manager" of a bank in Ghana has supposedly made a few million in profit, but he hasn't filed any report, so the "head office" will never know about it. Well that makes sense, because the money doesn't exist anyway. The spam says right up front that it was mailed out by AT&T, and he wants you to respond to another free e-mail address as well, neither of which have anything to do with any bank. This Peter Mensah very likely is the manager of this bank, but if you contact him, he will not know anything of what you're talking about. His identity was simply stolen for this scam. This entry is linked here, in the upper left, and there are YouTube videos of top ten scams located here. You will love Judge Judy ripping an eBay scammer to pieces :o) Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
Another compensation scam here is worded a little differently, promising to "compensate" you for whatever amount you were supposedly scammed out of, to be filled in. It's just like all the rest of them, though. The scammer is fraudulently claiming to be some government official who is "authorized" to "refund scam victims" on behalf of the Nigerian government. More samples of these scams are linked here, and YouTube videos of top ten scams are linked here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
The word "trust" in these things makes me want to laugh until I'm blue. The death of Nina Wang Kung four years ago is not widely known in the western world, which is why this scam has been making the rounds in North America, Western Europe, and Australia. Prior to her death, she was among the wealthiest Asians in the world. Tony Chan Chun-chuen was apparently a friend of hers, and this scammer is claiming to be him. He wants to be careful, though, and not claim that he's trying to share Ms Wang's entire fortune with you, he only claims to want to share a paltry $12 million. He proposes to transfer the fund to your bank account, and expects you to share your banking details with him. If you do so, you would shortly hear a large vacuuming sound coming from it. There is no money, and there never is. He only wants to steal from you. This entry is located in the upper righthand corner at this link, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
Banks are not in the habit of giving away millions of dollars, especially not the U.S. Treasury or the Federal Reserve. Other than a tax refund for maybe a few thousand dollars, when's the last time the IRS knocked on your door and handed you a big fat check for a hundred or a thousand times more than that? I'd say "never" is a pretty safe bet. This scammer doesn't say anything about any refund, and yet s/he's claiming that "in furtherance" to some "payment notification order," that you provide personal details about yourself, including your banking information, so that they can supposedly deposit your "fund" that doesn't exist. Notice they ask for a "driven license number." Don't help them. If you do this, you can shortly expect to hear a large vacuuming sound coming out of your bank account, or they may use your information to try to collect your legitimate IRS refund. This posting will be linked here for awhile, and there are some IRS scam videos here. The scammer also "advises" you to "stay away from the scammers!" LOL! Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
These guys are getting a little better, but too much still doesn't make any sense. They no longer say which airport they're supposedly at, hoping you will provide that information, and lo and behold, they will say they are at the very same airport. They're also beginning to understand that millions of dollars actually weighs something. Notice the use of free e-mail addresses, poor spelling, and poor grammar. Don't help them. Let them figure English out on their own. You need to "provide your details" about where you live, and of course they will say that it's a perfect match with the "shipment details." This one is very generous, too, and offers you 75 percent of money that doesn't exist LOL. This posting will be linked here for awhile, in the upper left hand corner, there are some games here, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
Well let's see. How many different cultures are represented in this little scam-mail I wonder. There's a Brazilian "From" e-mail address, a Polish "Reply-to" e-mail address, another e-mail address in Mongolia, what appears to be a physical address in Rio, a greeting in French, the scam-mail itself is in English, and we're to contact someone in the Republic of Benin, located in Africa. That makes at least six languages and five cultures altogether. And somehow, they want us to believe that we have $800,000 coming to us LOL. This posting will be located here for awhile, in the top left hand corner, and here is a little video collection of top ten scams. You will just love Judge Judy reaming out a scammer who doesn't know when to shut up :o) Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
This is not only arrogant, it's also quite ignorant and ridiculous. This scammer must be quite young if he doesn't even know who Walt Disney was. The first thing wrong with this is that he is also apparently suffering from multiple personality disorder. He claims to be Disney, and of course everyone in most parts of the world knows who he was. He died over 45 years ago. Then he goes on to claim that he's a "special FBI agent" named "John Edward," then signs his name as Disney again. He also claims that you have $5.7 million in your name, that you'll need some other "legal documents" to make the claim, and if you don't do so within 72 hours, you'll be subject to "legal action." He goes into a paragraph or so to convince you that he's with the FBI, which he isn't, of course. To get these "documents," you'll have to put out some money, which he will keep and otherwise just spend it. You'll never see a dime, because the money doesn't exist. It never does. This posting is linked here just below the Amazon books, and a listing of Top Ten scams is here, from YouTube. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You! This is another impersonation scam where thieves are trying to convince you that they are some high ranking official, and they have "compensation" for you, since they claim that you were the victim of a scam. Rest assured, this is only another scam, and the spam you got is from the very fraudsters they speak of themselves. Do not allow them to confuse you, for these are always scams, and the "money" never exists. This posting will be in the upper left hand corner of this page for awhile.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan Here's another scam that's supposedly from President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, spamming me personally because he is so deeply concerned with my very own personal finances here in North America LOL. This one included the Nigerian Coat of Arms along with a picture of himself, to the left. It is not from him, of course. Scammers just love to pretend to be world leaders, some sort of "official," or they like to pretend to be related to someone important, such as Moammar Ghaddifi, the Pope, or the Dalai Lama, in order to "gain your confidence." Just like all the other scams, though, these are never real, either, and as always, they want you to respond to a free e-mail address. See this entry in the upper right of this page, below the Amazon books, and there are a couple of 419 videos located here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You! |
