Email scam warning

Recently, the number of scam email I received has been increasing rapidly, and even though this is somewhere between the 3rd and 5th post about scam emails, there are still some people still unsure whether they are really lucky or not.

To emphasize , I will repeat what's in the previous posts: DON'T GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OR MONEY TO ANYONE WHO CONTACT YOU THROUGH EMAIL. The common pattern is, after they receives your money you will never hear from them or have the reward they promised. Even worse, some of them creates more "difficulties" to get more money from you.

Some common characteristics of those emails are:

  • Claims to be coming from outside YOUR country (Nigeria, China, Malaysia, Congo, South Africa, Ukraine... the list of countries is simply lengthen each day).
  • About misidentifying you as a representative, need a representative, a window needs help getting money frozen in a bank, government's secret business...
  • YOU have to PAY SOME MONEY in order to GET A LARGER SUM OF MONEY (sooner or later). This is the VERY COMMON thing between them.
  • They tends to use Yahoo mail addresses. Yahoo: Heaven for scammers (they have a poor spam filter, spam always get through, I rarely use my Yahoo's).
My advice for treating such case are
  • If you want peace, just ignore them, or block their emails, they may think that it's no use spamming you and stop, some will sells your email to the next wave of scammers though, you just can't stop them. They already know your email.
  • WAR: Pretends that you will cooperate with them. This will REALLY bother them, it costs them time so they won't disturb others, of course they can take revenge by opting your email for more spam... Your choice though. You can find veterans in scamming scammers at scambaiters.com (or something like that, I don't remember the exact url)
Some sample of scam emails I received, see if your emails look like them or not. The text in red is my comments. I REPEAT: DO NOT BELIEVE THEM.

Congratulations once again from all our staff for being a

Mrs. Amanda Collins


� Uk National Lottery 2007.

Greetings In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am Mother Diane Smith, a widow to late Richard A. Smith, I am 75 yrs
old,I
am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the
breast, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and
it's
quite
obvious that I won't live more than two months, According to my
doctors.
This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

My late husband killed during the U.S raid against terrorism in
Afghanistan,and during the period of our marriage we had a 23 yrs old
son who
died in an
auto crash three years ago.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death I inherited all
his
business and wealth. The doctor has advice me that I may not live for
more
than
two months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to
contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America, Asia
and also
in
Europe. I prayed over it, and I am willing to donate the sum of Five
Million
Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (USD$5,500, 000.00) to the
less
privileged.

Please I want you to note that this fund is lying in a security company
and
upon my instruction, my attorney, will file in an application for the
transfer of the money in your name.

Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used
for
the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth
acquisition
without Christ is vanity. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus the love of
God and
the fellowship of God be with you and your family. I await your urgent
reply.

Please kindly get back to me on my private email address
(dianesmith@cnonline.net) if you are willing to help for further
details and
directive.

Yours In Christ,
Mother Diane Smith.

Hello,

How do you do?

My name is Bob Freebury, CEO of Orchard Vale Trust. ORCHARD VALE TRUST

needs a Payment Representative in the states.

There is an Open Vacancy in the Organization. The Board of Directors of

Orchard Trust is willing to offer you a good Part- Time paying job in
which
you could earn a lot.This job would be based on contract and commission

terms, it is a part-time job and it would involve quite a handful of
trust
and honesty. If you would be interested in including a good-paying,
part
time job to your daily list of activities and earning up to $4000.
.
I just took time to make this explanatory enough so you could
understand
what the job entails, before I go further I thought I'd inform you of
both
who you would be working for and what you would be doing.

As I have previously already informed you, my name is Bob Freebury, 42
years
of age, 4 kids, all boys and the love of my life, my Wife, Tracy.I am a

somewhat multitalented man and I do quite a lot of traveling and get to
meet
quite
a lot of people who need the services I render especially with the
British
Heart Foundation, A UK registered charity based in London which I
joined in
January 2000.

The aim of the British Heart Foundation is to play a leading role in
the
fight against disease of the heart and circulation so that it is no
longer a
major cause of disability and premature death.

Our Activities
The Orchard Vale Trust is the largest independent founder of heart
research
in the UK. We play an important role in funding education, reaching the

public and health professionals And we provide life-saving cardiac
equipment
and support for rehabilitation and patient care.

Heart Disease - the facts...

? Heart and circulatory disease is the UK 's biggest killer. One in
five
men and one in six women die from it.

? Every 2 minutes someone in the UK has a heart attack.

? Over 670,000 people in the UK have definite heart failure.

? 4,600 babies are born with heart defects each year. Around half will
need
treatment or surgery.

You can read more online at www.orchardvaletrust.org.uk

Presently, the foundation, Orchard Vale Trust was granted funds and
donations to head a charity support project in the tropical regions of
West
Africa
regarding the fight against heart disease and also supporting
the
treatment of many childhood Heart Illnesses.

However, Our Donated Funds were by our American counterparts and they
mostly
come in US based Money Orders, Travelers Checks and sometimes Cashiers
Checks.

Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have
been
our best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those
choices would cost our time and a whole lot of other requirements I am
not
ready to deal with as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime.

So presently, having read your resume and 'assuming' you would be able
to
deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to
be my
payment representative / Receptionist / Bookkeeper back in the states,
this
way I could issue and make these money orders out to you, you could
then
cash them easily, withdraw Ten Percent (10%) of the total amount on
these
money orders as your commission for the great service you would be
rendering
and then send the rest back to me through Western Union Money transfer.
You would have to keep Detailed Transactions in a Spreadsheet so the
process
would be recorded just for verification purposes.

Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash
and
you could be making good money working with us in a short period of
time.

I would be glad if you accept my proposal as I intend to commence with
you
as soon as you are ready. I would be issuing and mailing over my money
orders to you, which would be issued out in your name and sent over
through
a reputable courier service. Like I said, the funds and donations was
granted to head a charity support project in the tropical regions of
West
Africa
regarding the fight against heart disease and also supporting
the
treatment of many childhood Heart Illnesses.

Once you get them in the mail, you would be cashing them at your bank,
educting Ten percent (10% Alongside the Western Union Transfer Charges
) of
the total amount cashed as commission to the great effort you are
rendering
to help build the third world and any oher transfer charges incurred
during
the transaction.

The rest fund would be wired to me via Western Union to wherever I
might be
at that point in time (West Africa presumably because I have to make my
trip
in the new week)

I have attached an employment form in this email which you could fully
fill
on your computer and send back as an attachment, just so I know who and

where I would be sending m money orders out to.

Do provide an address where you will be able to sign for the collection
of
the payment.

Thanks and God Bless.
