First of all, the real FBI doesn't e-mail anyone, at least not us "peons," anyway. "John Will" wants you to believe very much that he's with the "FBI." They've been in a "series of meetings" with the "UN secretary general" and the "Nigerian President" for "seven months," and it's been "decided" that you're "owed" a "fund" of USD$850,000. Then "John" asks how would you like your "funds," by check or by ATM card? You can get either one, but if you hurry, you'll save $240, and pay "only" $135 instead! What a deal! LOL! Of course, if you send them any money at all, you'll never see anything. They even have a "24 hour guarantee." If you don't get your "funds" by then, you can call them for a refund, but of course there won't be any refund. It will be an "excuse" why you didn't get your "fund," and it will cost additional fees. This repeats over and over until you catch on, or until you're out of money. This is the classic Nigerian 419 advance fee fraud. It can be very expensive, and it's very dangerous. Don't fly over there looking for nonexistent cash, because people have been killed for this before. Click Here for more FBI scam stories. The "Robert Mueller" scams are very popular too. Click Here.

"Dr. Donald Cox" of "The United Nations" is contacting people with a free mail.com account. He wishes to "assure" us that he is not one of those "fraudulent African officials." There probably is a Dr. Donald Cox that works at the UN, but this isn't him. All you need to do is give this scammer your information, you will get a "code," and he claims you will have "your money" within 72 hours. Oh, and you need to e-mail a free gmail account, of course LOL. Click Here for more samples of these UN scams, and a bit of information about the UNCC, top of the page.
I love it when a scammer claims to be a "U.S. soldier" who has "found money" in the "Iraqi desert" or somewhere over there. I also love the ones about "high ranking officers or bureaucrats" who are "doing the will of the President." That's what this one is about. "General Obi Marshall" found "my file," and now I'm among people "approved" by "the President" to be "paid half of my USD$8 million." The "general" says he wants my information "to be sure I'm the 'rightful owner.'"
Of course, there is no "file" on anyone; the scammer doesn't know our names. So if we give up our information, they will automatically just say that yes, we're on "the list" or "the file" that doesn't really exist. And that's when the fees begin to get nothing, because there isn't any money. Don't pay them anything. Nigerian 419 scam samples are Here, ABC Documentary Video is Here. Follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Wow it really looks like the "Nigerian government" is really getting "serious" this time, doesn't it? You really are going to get your "money" this time! Yay!
Um, No. The scammers are using free Chinese Microsoft Hotmail addresses ROFLMFAO. See this entry Here, top of the page on the right. Click Here for the ABC News Nigerian 419 Documentary. Follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. The NIgerian "Honorable Minister of Finance," under the "supervision" of the "United Nations," of course, has been "approved" to "reimburse" 5,000 Nigerian scam victims. After a "meeting of the minds" it was "resolved" that "funds" held by the Nigerian government should be "shipped" to "U.S. Customs" in Michigan, "just to make sure 'the funds' are being 'delivered' to the 'correct beneficiaries.'"
Man, what a load of crap. I never saw this one before ROFLMFAO. Just remember, these things are never, ever real; there is no money. No matter what they tell you, do not ever believe it. I cannot stress this strongly enough. For more samples of these little scams, Click Here. From: "MR. SCOTT W. ROGGER" <[email protected]>
"Mr. Scott Rogger" claims that the Nigerian government has "agreed" to "reimburse" Nigerian 419 scam victims. Each "victim" is supposedly to be "paid $3.5 million," and lo and behold, each person who gets a scam-mail from "Scott" is "listed as a beneficiary." He "wishes" to "redeem the image of 'our poor country," so the President has "ordered" the "immediate payment" to each of the affected victims. He admits to "corrupt and inefficient" banking system in Nigeria, so the "payments" are to be "made" under the "funding assistance" of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Oh, and of course, I'm not to duplicate this scam-mail anywhere, because the criminals are currently "being rounded up." More samples of the Nigerian 419 Scam are Here. Ooo! I'm an "honorable" beneficiary! LOL! Let's see. My "contract" has been "verified" but I haven't been "paid" because I haven't "fulfilled" the "obligations." I'm not the only one getting this scam-mail, of course, it went out BCC to an undisclosed recipient list. It's in all caps, and their spelling and grammar is kind of messed up. Don't help them, though, let them learn English on their own. I can't say too much about their mistakes because I know they will see this blog at some point.
In this one, they are saying the "funds" have been "approved" for "transfer," but they can't "deposit" into my bank account because of the IMF. They claim they're going to "deliver cash" in "consignment boxes" direct to my doorstep by courier. Yes, I get millions and millions of dollars delivered directly to my doorstep each and every single day of the year. Don't you? ROFLMFAO This is a classic, amusing Nigerian 419 scam, Click Here for more samples. Scammers are currently picking on Carman Lapointe for some reason. In this one, they say she just went to Nigeria from Canada, after "a series of complaints from the FBI and 'other security agencies'" around the world. There have been a "high volume of fraudulent activities" going on, which is just exactly what this scammer is doing, and he's even got a story on the UN's website to back it up. The link just tells who she is, with an image of her.
Then they go off on a tangent to describe an "overdue payment" that is "due" to you. They say "Carman" has "authorized" the Nigerian government to "effect" your payment of $10.5 million into your personal bank account. This has been "approved" by the Canadian government and the UN, and your only "fee" will be for notarization. If you take the bait, the fees will be never ending, with one excuse after another about where the "money" is. In truth, there is no money. Then they begin to tell you that "someone else" is interested in your "fund," which does not exist, of course, so that you will hurry up and take their bait to try and get it. "Carman," of course, has only a "limited amount of time in Nigeria," so you better hurry up. This is just another 419 flavor. It kinda sounds like 'Rocky Road' LOL. Don't fall for it. As always, there is no money. People have been killed trying to get 419 money after spending thousands in "fees." For more samples of this scam, Click Here. "Ben Bernanke" personally e-mailed me, to tell me that the Central Bank of Nigeria has "instructed" him to credit my personal bank account with an "inheritance" of $10.5 million. Oh, but he wants "paperwork" first, and of course we don't know what he's talking about. So he says he will conveniently "direct" us on where to get it. That's where the fees begin. It is not Ben Bernanke, of course, it's a scammer. The scam-mail was even brazenly sent from a Hotmail account. To see more of these scam samples, Click Here.
This scammer wants you to believe that the UNCC has "mapped out" $95 billion, to be paid to "foreign contractors," and he wants you to have your share. However, from the UNCC's website, it says, in part:
"The United Nations Compensation Commission was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the UN Security Council. Its mandate is to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage[s] suffered as a direct result of Iraq's unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait." UNCC Website Also, the scammer wants you to contact his "accountant" at an accountant.com address. This is a free e-mail address, along with many others, such as lawyer.com, that you can get at mail.com. I have on myself, at rockfan.com, because, well, I'm a rock fan :o) For more UN scam samples, Click Here |
