Leaving out the extra 'u' in certain words, there's STILL 2 typos and at least one misused word, that would NEVER be typo'd from any government office anywhere (spellcheck???)... & past that it's BS. :thumbdn: ...SO WATCH OUT FOR SCAMS in your email because MOST are BETTER THAN THIS P.O.S.

Just a little HOLIDAY tip from your friends at "HAMS" VS. SCAMS. LOL

it's amazing that people actually fall for these scams. They have even travelled to africa thinking they were going to make millions and instead were held for ransom. :foot:
 
I always get emails from people far abroad needing to move LARGE sums of money and would gladly share it with me if only I provide them access to my bank account or a few thousand $$$ to get things rolling.

Who the hell falls for these scams?
 
I actually feigned interest once, and they sent another e-mail the next day. I didn't even read it.

I almost feel sorry for the poor saps that fall for this scam. They must really be desperate.

I don't get many, but I recognize the scam... always from Nigeria it seems. I just feel that I should sound an alarm JUST IN CASE that I might get LUCKY enough to get to that ONE person that isn't familiar with this scam IN TIME to stop them from falling... and has been emailed with one of these. (Mass emailing, U know!)
:D

I'm tired of good folks getting ripped off, ya know?

You mean its not true??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

:D

You guys do know how these scams work right???

They actually do xfer the funds into your bank, minus the fee for the "processing agency" (or thief)... then the foreign bank (usually Nigerian) claims the money stolen with your bank… your bank issues a credit for the full amount and you’re stuck with the “Fee” imposed by the theifs… errrr processing agency. These fees are usually around $40k per million…. :eek: :eek: OUCH! It is rumored that the Nigerian gov plays part in these dirty deeds. You get hurt... your bank, nor our gov is willing to help you in any of the cases I've heard about.

OOF!!!!!!!!! Hell, I thought that they gave you the old 'processing fee' routine. This is MUCH worse!!! Approx 40 grand x 9,000,000 = approx $360,000 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!
 
While we're calling attention to these type things...

people should never use their Visa or Master Card backed ATM/debit cards for internet purchases... in most cases the banks offers zero protection against fraud. Everybody should only use credit cards with fraud protection.

CC Fraud is wide spread... so protect yourself. :thumbup:
 
YIKES!

Well in any case thanks for the heads up Jaxx. If anyone is desperate it is one of us HOGS/Piglets/Rats with all of these goodies comming out lately.

My name is Kolontu Mombishi, I'm a lowly cat farmer in the land of Wisconsin and recently neighbors have been feeding my stock poison meatballs. I need to take care of this but I have no means of my own. I was wondering if through the kindness of your greatness if you could transfer all your Infi to my residential address so I may dispatch these foul beings. I really just need your information for the transfer. There is no obligation to you. I can send you photocopies of the pictures of the heads of the people that the Infi helped dispatch. That is if you show willingness to assist me in this desperate time.
Presently my father’s associates who
are hunting for these people due to this situation. My late father
advised me to offer 15% of the total sum of blood collected as the
commission to anyone who assists me to transfer this Infi into my residence.

Thank you for your time and may the Flying Spaghetti Monster grace you and all your days be touched by his noodly appendage.

Thank you,

Kolontu Mombishi

I talked to my bank just now, and they said if there was fraud with my Visa Check card, I could dispute the charges and I would be refunded the amount stolen. Apparently there have been some cases of people falling for the email internet scammers, and even they were covered by the bank.
 
Somewhere there is a site where a guy started playin with these scammers, and tagged them out for several months.

The correspondence is hillarious, he even had the scammer using secret code names, and had him take a pic with made up names like Ima Buttface and so on.

It is really scary in this day and age, with all the media warnings, that people still are that fluggin stooooopid.:rolleyes:

I think they need a piece of candy...;) :cool:

That's not true. Fraud is fraud, and you are protected.

Some punk clerk used my Visa check card # after I rented a U-Haul a couple of years ago. I got my money back.
 
The "Nigerian" scam has been around since the 70's or sooner. Our firm received a letter in 1978 telling us they needed to get money out of Nigeria, etc, etc. We have never replied but we have received maybe 20 of these over the following years. If its too good to be true, it ain't.
