Exposing The Email Job Scams

Dalanche Operations Officer Fake Job Scam

2012-01-19T07:12:00.004-06:00

And here's another email I just received from another company that immediately wants to hire me without an interview after simply seeing a resume that I supposedly placed online.

Below is a screen shot of the location. Notice far below the internet domain registration by a James Corey of 580 Geary Street in San Francisco. This is funny because that is the same location of a restaurant called the Millennium Restaurant in San Francisco. And to make matters even more suspect, notice the email address on the company website of www.dalanche.com. It's fake because it's going to a @usa.com email domain.

Geez. Please read on for the verbatim email I received plus the following domain look up for the actual website itself to prove why I believe it's a same without any shadow of a doubt.

Below is that email:

Hey it's me again. You can actually visit the website of this fake job by going to www.dalanche.com but it just can't be a real company or job. I'll post more later with information on the website. The website just looks nice and clean and well written but there is no way this job or this company is legitimate.

Have a good week ahead everyone!!

P.S. If you search and do a "whois" on the domain Dalanche.com, you will see the following information which just doesn't add up, either for the name or address of the person that supposedly created this website. And look far below where it . That is also without a doubt a fake name and address for James Corey on "Geary Street" in San Francisco.

Please be careful those who might be considering this company for employment.

It's not real.

Here's the whois information:

Here's another spam/job scam email I received supposedly from Beyond.com. Beyond is another one of those job sites, in my view that offer you positions but they don't really exist. What Beyond.com really wants you to do is return to school so they can market your interest to other companies.

A few comments if I may...

I wonder why you must be over 21 years of age. I think if you can fall for a scam you can do that at even as young as 16 years of age.

I really do like the quote, "We are keen to hear from talented individuals with proven experience in sales or marketing and ready to offer a brilliant development program for the right candidate."

If it was a real job it sounds very interested and in line with my experience. But sadly it's not.

What do you think?

P.S. I still monitor posts because of spam I approve posts even if I don't agree with the content. If you attack me personally more than likely I won't post your snarky behavior because I don't see the point.

Have a good week and weekend coming up!!

It's me again...isn't it funny the scammers have to include a NB note at the very end of the stupid fake job message to let us concerned about emailing the scammer's email of Mary.Stevens28@gmail.com to know they are "attempting to cut off the overflow of unsolicited emails delivered our company's emails by using a personal mailbox for initial communication. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience."

How funny is that...so this person decided they don't want to actually show a domain for the company because they want to supposedly cut off the overflow of unsolicited emails delivered.

Huh?

Made me scratch my head on this one...stay far away from this job scam. It isn't a real job and only serves for you to pass along all your personal information for the scammers delight and future abuse.

Natalie Glow Europe Shipping Warsaw, Poland Job Scam

2011-04-26T21:55:00.004-05:00

Just when I thought a week would go by before receiving any new emails with fake job offers and employment, I received the one below.

This one is kind of funny because the alleged salary is different for someone that has an MBA degree versus someone who doesn't have a diploma.

I wonder if you could scam the scammer and said you had an MBA degree when you didn't since this is one way of many the scam is written to appear more legitimate.

Below is the verbatim email. I will revisit it more tomorrow:

Hi!
I appreciate that you are interested in our vacancy. We hope that in this e-mail you will get all the info you demanded.

Family Meds Solution PLC Job Scam Sherry Stephens

2011-03-22T18:14:00.002-05:00

One of my readers of the blog sent me the following job scam

Below is the email:

Having seen your resume I would like to offer you a position with our
company. My name is Sherry Stephens and I am the International Human
Resource Manager of Familymeds Solution PLC. I am pleased to inform you that
we have an open position for you within our company.
Our company was founded in 1982 and it has quickly grown to be one of the
largest resellers in United Kingdom of medical equipment and apparatus as we
as in the rest of Europe. We have contracts exclusively with hospitals and
other medical companies and groups supplying several hundred types of
products ranging from surgical needles and syringes to MRI and EKG machines
and everything in between. Our partners include top manufacturers around the
world such as GE Healthcare, Medtronic, Baxter International, Tyco
Healthcare, Philips Medical Systems, Cardinal Health, Siemens Medical
Solutions, Zimmer Holdings, et cetera. Our company has grown very fast
during the last few years and now we have expanded our market and business
to the United States. As such we have a high demand in terms of job openings
in almost every state and we are looking for dedicated and hardworking
individuals to work for us and help us expand.
Our success is due to the fact that we are able to meet our customer's
demands in every shape or form and at any time. We are very flexible and we
can honor our orders when others cannot. Very fast delivery system combined
with the fact that we accept almost any type of payment and great customer
support are the reasons why we have been able to grow so fast and took us to
where we are today. We take great pride in what we do because it is not
always easy to satisfy all customer demands while still processing the
orders very fast and receiving payments for the products in a timely manner.
We need you to work for us and below you will find the job description and
what will be asked of you should you decide to accept our proposal.
Job description:

* NO SALES INVOLVED! Very limited contact: you will not be involved in
any kind of sales or contact with our customers;
* Zero fees policy: while performing this job you will encounter no
fees to be paid in advance whatsoever;
* Respect privacy: no employee from our company will ever ask you for
any sensitive information;
* Total transparency: everything you will do is legal under the
European Union/United States and International laws as they are currently
applied.

Your duties are:

* To receive payments from our customers which are mainly in form of
checks (only U.S. emitted checks, no international checks will be sent to
you; All check will be written in your name);
* Cashing the checks using your existing bank account; do not use
checks-cashing stores, they charge too much, sometimes even 10% of the total
value of the checks
* Forwarding as'' money in minutes'' by Western Union, we will pay all
money transfer fees after you will deduct your 10% commission from each
order you process.

Your benefits are:

* Commissions: 10% from each check your will process in the first
month.
* Salary: within one month after receiving the first check you will
receive $1,000 as fixed salary.

This is a commission based job, the faster you process orders the more your
income will increase. This bonus is given to also cover internet, phone or
gas bills. Please note that this salary will be sent after 30 days have
passed since you received your first payment to process.

* Rewards for good performance: after two months of working for us an
increase to 15% commission from all payments might be applied to your
contract if you process and send all the transfers to us in a timely manner.
In this case you will be earning around $1,200-1,300 per week as well as the
$1,000 salary at the end of the month.

* Education reimburse

* Vacation (2 weeks for Exempt employees)
* 4 paid Company Holidays / 2 paid floating holidays
* Large and stable corporation

There are also bonuses for cashing the checks and sending the payment to us
very fast:

* Cash the check same day: $150 for each check;
* Cash the check within 24 hours: $100 for each check;
* Cash the check within 48 hours: $ 50 for each check.

The $1,000 salary will be sent to you in form of a cashier check.

The job opening is that of a Representative within the US. The today's
situation on the financial market requires us to open and fill several of
these job positions within our company. This opening will help our company
to reduce the time it takes to receive funding from orders that we receive
each month and we offer you one of the highest incomes on the market today
and the minimal expenditures of time.

With the number of orders we have we cannot put them on hold for fear of
losing our customers, secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US
soon enough, as international checks take about 28 working days to cash
anywhere in Europe. We lose a lot of time and money each month because we
have money transfer delays. Our clients could pay us where we want by
sending checks to an US address. What we need you to do is to provide us an
address where you can receive our customer checks. We need someone who can
receive the money through this method of payment. Regarding the check
process all you have to do is to receive the checks our customers will send
to your address, take them to your bank, cash them and send the remainder
amount to us after deducting all fees incurred and your commission. You will
always take your commission upfront. All fees for transferring the funds
will be supported from our share. Bonuses will apply for cashing checks
within 24 hours upon receiving a check.

We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and
processed we deliver the product to our customer (usually through USPS). The
customer receives and checks the product and proceeds to send the payment.
We accept all forms of payment but most of our customers pay using Bank
Checks and so to solve this problem and not lose any of our customers we
have decided to open this new job position. This job is legal according to
the U.S. legislation as it is today. Local money transfers take but a few
hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost
immediately.

PAYMENT AND SALARY:

For example you receive a check as payment for 3000.00 USD, you deduct your
commission (10%): 300.00 USD and then send to us the balance: 2700.00 USD.
In the first month you will receive around 15-20 orders under 3,000.00 USD
to process and after checking your performance records during that first
month the orders you will receive, may increase from 3,000.00 upwards to
6,000.00 USD. For example 20 transactions each around 3000.00 USD gives you
a total income of 6,000.00 USD per month and after establishing a close
co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and you'll
be able to earn more. You will also deduct fees that are related to this job
(gasoline, western union fees, bank commissions, etc.) from our balance, not
from your commissions. At first the checks you will receive will vary from:
$500.00 to $3,000.00. We will also send you a 1099 Form for tax deduction on
your part. Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have
them cashed in your existing bank account, we don't accept newly created
bank accounts because it slows the cashing process. Deduct your percentage
and forward the balance to the company attorney manager via a western union
money transfer, the name will be given to you later after cashing a payment.
This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You'll have a lot of free time for
taking up another job; you'll get good income and a regular job. This job is
very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for the
employee who satisfies our requirements and will be an earnest assistant.

We have health insurance and the 401K retirement savings plan as well as all
the other standard benefits that a major company usually provides.
Unfortunately we can only start talking about this after the first month has
passed since you're working for us. We consider the first month as a trial
period. In any case you do not have to pay for anything in advance; there
are no hidden costs for performing this job. Any fee you might encounter
will be deducted from our share of the funds before you send it to us.

You will receive next instructions step by step.

Unfortunately we cannot setup any interviews now, as we do not have any
representatives in US. We will be able to come to meet within the next few
months when the new offices will be opened in your area!

Please let me know if you are still interested. Within 24 hours after we
will receive this information we will forward you a copy of the contract you
have to fill in, sign and e-mail back to us.

More On Collins Group Ltd Michael Wenz Job Scam

2011-03-17T16:51:00.009-05:00

I've researched and found out more on the Collins Group Ltd Michael Wenz Job Scam. You'd be interested to know, thanks to a comment from a reader on the earlier blog, this company has a website you can visit by going to http://www.collins-ltdusa.cc/.

I looked over the website myself and found the writing to be very good for a scam of a company and job opportunity. I did want to go to the contact us part of the company website to check on the phone numbers listed for contacting this fake company.

You can click on any pictures below to make them larger:

The Collins website lists the company under contacts as located in Troy, New York.

Specially if you look at the image above you will see the address of the company as 120 Defreest, Troy, New York, 12180.

The company contact telephone number is shown above as well as 315-889-8099. The fax machine shows to be at a completely different area code than the company at fax number, 585-410-6049.

I decided to go to my source for reverse look ups on telephone numbers by visiting http://www.411.com/. When you type in the contact number for the company with the area code and number as below, you get a surprising result:

Notice the 411.com website shows this telephone number to belong to a location in Union Springs, New York as we see above. When you go to google maps, and map the distance between Union Springs, New York and Troy, New York, you will see it's a distance of over 170 to 190 miles away from each other.

In my opinion, an exchange from Union Springs, New York would not be a valid exchange to be utilized in Troy, New York unless it is not really at either location. I used to work in telecommunications and long distance in a prior position and I firmly believe the address for this company posted is not valid nor is the telephone number, though likely reliable to call the company as without fraud intentions.

And here's what Intellus had to say as well for this telephone number as the office number. I don't believe either company has made a mistake with this telephone number.

If that is not enough proof, google the fax telephone number for this company, 585-410-6049. You will see the results like below:

Notice even this month on the two links you can pull up on google by searching for the fax number below to two different supposedly fraudulent companies, one known as Behance Network and the other SEVG Ltd.

You can go and click on the links from google to read up on it more. Those scams and the same companies that are scams using the same fax numbers for supposedly different business practices are the main reason I'd not walk, but RUN far away from this company and whatever scam it is trying to operate.

Be careful everyone...this one REEKS of a scam for sure...not doubt in my mind? How about you?

P.S. Call it coincidence or not...but the company Collins Group Ltd for Michael Wenz also has the address of 120 Defreest and if you google that address, there's another Collins Company that appears to sell ink and it lists a distributor as ASMARC located in the same physical address as this fake Collins Group company.

I've placed the image below:

I've sent the Collins Ink company an email to ask if they are related to this fake Collins company shown on their website. I would welcome others to do this as well. I don't think this job is for real at all!!

Collins Group Ltd Michael Wenz Job Scam

2011-03-14T14:00:00.003-05:00

I just received the email below regarding a job with the Collins Group Ltd company which as all the others I document...reeks of a scam. The return address for the person is a Michael Wenz. The funny thing, the reply to for this fake job opportunity is Michael Wenz which is strange. The scammer can't even spell employment correctly. They list the email as wenz.employement@gmail.com....the usual give a way that the job is a scam and people don't know how to spell and don't bother to list a website, contact telephone number or any information vital to me or you as a jobseeker about what the company is all about.

I do notice they want my telephone number...I wonder if they want to call me to wrap me into this job they think I'm such a good match for by talking with me and obtaining more information or what. I might bait them and see where this one takes us...but lately it appears just like all the others...a fake job and anyone who contacts them takes valuable private information and puts it in their hands for scams or fraud or who knows what else can be done with it. Below is the verbatim email:

Hello Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

I am contacting you in regards with the job opportunity within the Company I represent.

The country of origin for this company is not listed on the domain registration which indicates it is a scam. The website that is supposedly set up for this company under http://www.ewtradingsa.net/ is under construction which makes me strongly believe it is a scam.

The salary is way too high for the position and it's so generic in a description of the job opportunity it can only be a scam

The job description says, "This is a logistics assistant job which includes the
purchasing goods, stuffs and equipment for company's individual customers."

This involves money laundering or you receiving a fake check that is bogus where you purchase merchandise, ship it out, then wire money to another person by Western Union and supposedly keep some money for your own use.

None of it rings true to anything but a scam.

Stay away from this one...far far away!!

Mrs. Rosemary Campbell Trunk Box Scam

2011-03-02T19:22:00.002-06:00

I have received a large number of scam emails, mostly telling me I've won lotteries worth double digit millions since creating the email address of jobscams6069@gmail.com.

Funny thing is I would think that with that sort of email account I wouldn't receive many emails involving scams.

But I did and I do. I will give you more information as promised on a prior job scam soon.

Here's one of those Nigerian scams from a Mrs. Rosemary Campbell:

Customers Service Hours--Monday to Saturday:
Office Hours Monday to Saturday:

Greetings !!!

We have been waiting for you to contact me for your Trunk Box worth $1,650,000.00 (One Million, Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars), being compensation fund for 150 scam victims, but I did not hear from you all this while.

I have deposited the Trunk Box with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I traveled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not be back until
completion of my 3 months course. What you have to do now is to contact the U P S COURIER SERVICE immediately to know when they will deliver your
consignment to you because of the expiring date.

For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the consignment showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorism attack in your Country. The only money you will send to the U P SCOURIER SERVICE to deliver your Trunk Box direct to your
postal Address in your country is US$250 only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other
money except US$250.

I would have paid that but they refused, because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact the U P S COURIER
SERVICE now for the delivery of your Trunk Box with this information below:

Contact Agent: PASTOR GOOD LUCK
Email Address: pastorgoodluck01@gmail.com

Reconfirm the below information to the agent:
Full Name;........
Home Address;........
Country;......
Telephone:........
Age;..................

Let me repeat again, try to contact them immediately you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay the Security Keeping fee of US$250
for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your consignment. Below is an attached copy of your trunk box.

Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Rosemary Campbell

Mercet Group Job Scam Tanya Jones Profit Monitoring Agent

2011-02-28T14:58:00.004-06:00

Well, here's yet another one that just came in...as a job scam from a company called Mercet Group. The email came from someone by the name of Tanya Jones at email address of jose_lopez0846@yahoo.com but when you reply to the email a copy goes to this email address and one to hr@mercet.net that would give an impression of the validity of the company. But it's a scam. I'm going to pretend like I don't know any better to release all sorts of personal and private information to them to obtain information on the company. It looks like it is just another company that wants you to handle payment processing which should immediately throw up a red flag of fraud. Anyone else get this email?

P.S. I still very much resent Monster.com sharing or not having any accountability to those scammers who may have accessed my resume before I removed it several months ago. It is a company like Monster.com that should take care of their customers better...not sell out to scammers. But anyway...

Below is the verbatim email:

Mercet Group would like to attract strenuous and highly actuate people to participate in the contest for the Profit Monitoring Agent vacancy .

Our company offers wide scope of high class services to its customers , so it in full norm meets their requirements and guarantees both profitability and abundance .

The wage of Profit Monitoring Agent rise from $3,000. This is a part-time position , so you can combine this vacancy with your main job or grind to earn some superfluous money .

BDL International Job Scam Additional Information

2011-02-24T18:28:00.002-06:00

Here's some additional information related to my research on the scam of BDL International and the scam itself. A reader emailed me to inquire why I felt the job was a scam. And I do fully admit in an earlier post, I didn't give a lot of information on why I felt this job was a scam.

Below is my email back to him I sent last night:

Thank you for your email back. I admit I should give additional information on why I believe certain emails are a scam and I will try to show that to you in my email back to you. I personally do not want to actually pursue something that sounds unbelievably fake to me. Here are some reasons I believe this job to not be truthful.

(1) The job description is not clear nor precise. It is very generic.

(2) Attempts to email them for a telephone number, website or any other additional information regarding the company were not returned. I stated to them I felt this was not a legitimate job and I wanted to give the company an opportunity to give something that would help me to know the company was legitimate. The company only responded for me to provide them with my name, social security number, address, work address,home telephone number, cell telephone number, and work history and current employer.

(3) This company says they "selected" my CV even though I do not have any resume online for review by anybody.

If you go to the online tool, www.whoisnet, you can type in the last part of the domain name for the email they give to respond to them on the job description which is hiring@bdl-careers.com. Just enter bdl-careers.com under the whois to find out who owns the domain.

You can copy and paste the URL below if you want to see it:

http://www.whois.net/whois/bdl-careers.com

You will see the information below:

Registrant: Name: William ViveirosOrganization: William S. ViveirosAddress: 279 Lodgeville RoadCity: MinneapolisProvince/state: MNCountry: usPostal Code: 55415Administrative Contact:

Create: 2010-10-18 21:52:40Update: 2010-11-17Expired: 2011-10-18

A lot of this information is not relevant but it does show a name of the person who supposedly registered this domain as a William Viveiros. His address on the registration is listed as 279 Lodgeville Road, Minneapolis, MN 55415. I tried to find this address in google maps and the service told me the address could not be found. Then I tried just Lodgeville Road, Minneapolis, MN and still found no results. I then googled the physical address on www.google.com to see if there was any relevant information about this address showing in Minneapolis, MN but I could find nothing. Then I went to Mapquest.com and tried the same thing thinking perhaps maybe google maps just didn't have it. I experienced the same thing when searching in the same manner under Mapquest. I also tried using yahoo maps and it could not find the address either.

I also emailed to the owner of the domain, William Viveiros using the email address he provided in the registration as WilliamSViveiros@vivious.net for www.bdl-careers.com telling him I wanted to validate the company and he showed as the person who registered it. I asked him if he had names or telephone numbers he could provide to me so I could call the company to ask additional questions of the position.

I received nothing back from this individual.

I guess I could call that individual since his cell phone number is listed on the registration of that domain. But I also don't want to call him and give him a cell phone number of mine either.

These reasons give me cause to believe the company is non existent and the job is a scam to obtain personal information from you to commit fraud. With a social security number, name and address, I know fraud could happen and probably pretty easily.

I don't believe there is any government agency that investigates companies that appear to be fraudulent. For one reason, the company location itself is never mentioned in the original email. I rely only a strong internal belief from this emails to know they are not reputable companies. If I had the energy I could probably investigate it further but I really don't want to risk my exposure to fraud to prove beyond any doubt the company is fraud.

And I do agree with you, I hear others write and say it is a fraud but nobody actually has posted they've been defrauded by the company. I can't answer why nobody has volunteered that information either.

I hope this helps a bit. It's not my intent to ruin the good standings of companies offering legitimate employment. But usually with job offers that are so generic with job descriptions and where you can't obtain any information whatsoever on the company when you email them back, or the email addresses change on what they send to others that volunteer it on my blog, I can't just praise a job that doesn't appear to be a job whatsoever.

Wouldn't you think a legitimate company would be more than willing to share information about themselves to someone?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hello Michelle,

Thanks for your interests in the position, I will deeply appreciate all genuine efforts to help me monitor and keep up to date with all my activities.I have had a previous Personal Assistant(Book keeping/Accountant) who has been very commendable in Her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6 months, she has since returned to her country. I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been..

I'm Kallma Miller, 41 years old, originally from Queensland Australia,but I have spent my whole life here in United State. I'm a lawyer by profession and I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I get involved in, from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs, I'm most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.

As my assistant, your activities amongst other things will include;

*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitorings..
*Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
*Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I'm away.
*Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.
Basic wage is $400 a weekly....

I'm currently in the Australia now for a summit and would be back to the state in about 2 weeks, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with next week if you will be available for me. This can act as a stable foundation to our working relationship.

Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibilty means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week.If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side..

As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually.

Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us. I'd want us to meet up on AOL chat as soon as possible so we can discuss this extensively, moreso it's easier for me to convey informations once i'm online. My AOL ID is the same as my e-mail address It may be a little difficult working out the time difference between us initially, with time however, we should get used to it....I'm online most of the time when I'm not out or in a meeting so we should be able to have a chat sooner than you think. Do try to keep a date.I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss.I am also glad on the commitment in working.I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me next week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home,I do that every month .The funds will be in form of cashiers check or Money Order and it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you received the funds,You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store arround you so you can mail them out..

I will get you more information on that,I will like you to get back to me with your Contact Details such as:

Full Name:
Full Contact Address:{ Not P.O. Box }
City:
State:
Zip code:
Cell Phone Number:
Age:
Email:

Once i receive your contact information i will get back to you with the task for this week,Understand you will also be paid as well as its important for me to make the necessary steps before i get to the state. Hope i am clear with that.. Get back as soon asap.

Regards

Kallma Miller.

Darnell Brown Finance Co-ordinator Book-keeper Job Scam

2011-02-03T11:00:00.002-06:00

I keep receiving these official type emails of job offers that are scams directly to my inbox as opposed to them arriving at my spam folder or junk mail folder using Outlook. So in a way, they would appear to be more legitimate but they are still a far cry from being legitimate.

Below is the verbatim email from an alleged "Darnell Brown":

Dear Xxxxxx Xxxxxx!

Personality is the prior policy in our HRM (human resource management). We really estimate personal abilities, self-confidence and willingness to have
a stable and worthy income rather than all kinds of diplomas and certificates.

Olga Polyakova Decemi Soft Paypal Payments Processor Job Scam

2011-01-28T12:25:00.003-06:00

Here's an interesting set of emails for fraud to help you separate yourself from your good money. Below is an actual verbatim email I received offering me a job:

Hello.
Our company Decemi Soft is pleased to offer you a well-paid part-time job. Your personal information has been reviewed.

If you are interested, please reply.

Regards

So I replied. I really want a job and with something this specific, it was worthy of inquiring because I just knew this had to be the job for me. Here's what I sent back to the scammer:

I am very interested. Can you send me more information? I'm happy you are interested. Work has been tough to find lately and since you've reviewed my information I would be happy to talk with you more on a part time job.

And here's when the typical scam information starts...leading you on with amazing monetary salaries and few hours per week for the efforts. I certainly admire the scammers for being quite wordy to make the potential job offer appear legitimate when it really isn't. Below is the actual email back:

Hello Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

I’m very glad that you are interested in our proposal. Let me explain what we offer step-by-step:

My name Olga Polyakova, I am a manager of Ukrainian software-development company Decemi Soft. If you want to find more information about our company and products, please visit our official web-site: www.decemi.com

Currently, we are processing online payments by merchant account, but some of our clients want to make payments via PayPal. In Ukraine, PayPal works only for sending money, so we have no chance to receive and withdraw money.

We've decided to use exchange service for PayPal payments, but there are some troubles (high fees per transaction and payment clearance for 7-14 days).

So, we are looking for a partner in US, who can help us with processing paypal payments. The cooperation process will be based on 3 steps:

- Our client sends payment to your PayPal account;

- You receive payment;

- You send money to our company (at this time we looking for best way to do it, I think it will be wire transfer, but I’m not sure yet)

Your salary will depend on amount of PayPal transfers you'll manage to process. You will earn 500$ per month plus 5% from each transaction.

500$ you will deduct from one of the payments after each working month, working month starts when you get your first payment, 5% you will deduct from each payment, right after you get it.

PayPal and all other fees will be covered by our company.

Based on our practice, there are 3-4 payments per week. Each payment is about $399 - $3000.

So you will earn about $1000-2000 for the first month.

No private information required from you. Only contact information, and information for PayPal payments.

As you see it is really simple job, if you decide to work with us please mail me next info:

Your full name:

Your PayPal email: (for payments from our clients, your Paypal account must be Premier or Business, have Verified status, with lifted withdrawal limit)

Your contact email: (for best connection with you)

Your phone number: (for urgent contacts only)

If you have not paypal account, but still interested with this job, please mail me, and i will send you instruction how to open a new one and operate with it. It's simple process and absolutely free.

If you still need any other information about our company and this job, or any other question be free to ask me.

You also can contact me by phone, +38 (044)59-94-533, but it is preferred for me to contact by this mail, as my speaking English is very poor, I wrote this message with help of dictionary, speak with help of dictionary will be much complex)

Waiting for your respond.

I wrote back explaining I only had major credit cards and I wasn't sure what Paypal was and for more information. We'll see how long I can lead them on...anyone have any good responses at this point to string the scammer along or should I just end it at this point until my next fraudulent email.

Barrister Harry Mcdonald Esq Scam

2011-01-25T12:50:00.001-06:00

And here's yet another scam...

Law Chamber Principal Attorney
Harry Mcdonald & Associates
44, Kofo Abayomi Avenue,
Victoria Island,
Lagos-Nigeria.

Dearest,

Before I proceed I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you, I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust,

I am Barrister Harry Mcdonald, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr.Steve Anderson. who used to work with Agip Oil Company in Nigeria.

On the 21st of April 2003, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu Express Road.

Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident.Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my client's relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client in a Bank.

Fortunately, the Finance House where the deceased deposited the US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only) knows me very well and has ask me to present some one to claim the fund left by my late client as they all know I am his attorney.

Consequently, the Bank has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin to claim the US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only) in their custody within the next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over the years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the fund will be transferred to your account by the Bank.

Upon receipt of the fund,I will come over to your country to meet with you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share the money in this order: 60% will be for me, 40% will be for you. I have all the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we may make with the Bank.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me through my alternative email address:(harrymcdonald025@yahoo.co.jp) for further details.

Yours Sincerely.

Sarah Smith London England Scam

2011-01-25T12:47:00.001-06:00

Wow and here's a sad sob story scam from another person in my yahoo email box:

Dearest Friend,

I am writing you from the tears, sore and pains in my heart to let you know the reason why I picked you for my proposal. I am sincerely sorry if I disturb your privacy with my proposal; firstly I will start by introducing myself. My name is Sarah Smith; I'm 25 years old, I school and work as a cloth maker after my studies, I live in London England. I am the only daughter of my parents, my father died in an auto accident on his way to see my sick mother where she was admitted for breast cancer treatments. My mother gave up when she heard about the death of my father in same hospital where she was admitted, May their soul rest in perfect peace, amen. Before the death of my father he willed his Real Estate & Gas station business to me and a sum of Ј50,700,000.00(Fifty Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling). After the death of my parents I find it difficult paying my school fees, feeding and taking care of myself as a lady as no one is left to guild me.

I went to the bank where my late father deposited the fund for me to make some withdraw out from the account, I was not grant access to draw from the account due to the clause that was placed on the money by my late father before his death, saying I must be 30 years of age before I will have access to claim the fund by myself or if I am married before the age of 30 my husband will be eligible to collect the money for me or if I could present a trust worthy person to the bank as my relative the fund will be given to the person on my behalf. But today I am only 25 years old I have no access to draw from the account till I am 30 but as things are with me now, I might also lose my life since I can't feed well which is the reason why I am contacting you to help me, Please I am pleading with you to stand in as my husband to claim this fund or if you are married already and still wish to help me by standing as a relative to claim this fund for me I will be more than happy to tell you more on how we are to proceed.

Please write me on this e-mail address :sarah.smith.112@live.co.uk

I will be waiting to hear from you,

With Love

Sarah Smith.

Shell International Lottery Scam Dr. Ellen R. Gomez

2010-11-14T09:41:00.002-06:00

Below is an email saying I've won the Shell International Lottery:

GOOD DAY ESTEEMED AWARD WINNER,

SHELL INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY PROMOTIONS/PRIZE AWARD DEPARTMENT SPAIN has just concluded final draws from it's periodical promotional program An exclusive list of thousands of individual and corporate bodies were picked by automated random computer search from the internet No tickets were sold. You emerged as one of the lucky winners and you are therefore entitled to a sum of €350.000.00 Euros Only .

See attachment for more details and procedures.

For the security purpose,a password is required to enable you view the

Password: (boy).

Yours Faithfully,

Dr Ellen R.Gomez,
Online Coordinator for .
Shell Petroleum Company Spain.
No 72 Avenida Parque Grande,
Madrid Spain.
Email:shellpetroleumcompany@europe.com
:lotteryshell24@yahoo.com

There is a Microsoft Word document attached and when you open it up, you are prompted for the password above that I would read as (boy). However trying different variants of this password does not work. I wonder if the scammer did this on purpose to get you to email them directly and state password issues so the individual will have a valid email address to harvest elsewhere.

Be careful and watch out for somewhat poorly convincing scams that exist out there!!

Response From Monster.com Regarding Fake Job Scams On Their Website

2010-10-31T16:45:00.002-05:00

Below is a response from Monster.com regarding the fake job question I posed on the entry directly before this one:

Hello Xxxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting Monster. My name is Rashana and I will be glad to assist you with this issue.

So that I may appropriately report this spam/scam email to the appropriate vendors, please provide me with the full Internet header information from the email. Instructions on obtaining the header information can be found at the following link: http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/19.html.

If you have any further questions or wish to speak with a Monster Customer Service Representative, please contact us at 1-800-Monster.

Thank you for contacting Monster,

Rashana
Monster Global Customer Service

Then I replied with the following email:

I am sorry but I deleted the emails. Is there anything Monster can do to screen these ridiculous offers of employment that are scams? Or is there a way to remove all my information so I won’t get contacted by those who say they’ve seen my resume or address on Monster.com who then send me these fake job offers of employment?
Thank you.

And then Rashana replied with the following:

Hello Xxxxxxxxx,

In order to ensure that you don't receive any job alerts, you will need to make sure that you don't have any saved job searches set up on your account. if you don't wish for employers to view your resume, you can change the status of your resume to private. Once you set your resume status to private, your resume will not be viewable by employers. However if you wish for your resume to be viewable by employers but wish to not have your personal contact information displayed, you can change your resume status to confidential. If changing your resume status to confidential, make sure that if you have any personal contact information within the body of your resume that you remove this information as well. In the case that you won't to completely remove your resume, you can delete your resume by following the steps listed below:

1. Log into your account
2. Hover your mouse over the "Profile and Resume" tab
3. Click on the orange arrow button listed under the "Action" tab
4. Click on delete
5. Confirmation deletion

You will have successfully deleted your resume.

If you have any further questions or wish to speak with a Monster Customer Service Representative, please contact us at 1-800-Monster.

Thank you for contacting Monster,

Rashana
Monster Global Customer Service

So I don't know what happened. I still receive emails that I've been discovered for fake job employment on Monster.com but my resume is missing. Could it be the scammers email the resumes around to get others interested in them to try their luck at scamming me or there is a database these scammers collect resumes on to prey on people like me looking for work? I guess I will never know but I am sure Monster.com just doesn't have the care or possible resources to stop scammers from looking at jobs. To them, anyone who pays them money can access all the list of resumes for review for these fake type jobs.

Letter Written To Yahoo/Hot Jobs About Job Scams I Now Receive

2010-10-31T16:42:00.001-05:00

Here's a copy of an email I sent to Monster.com regarding email scams that I receive and continue to receive to my registered account with Monster.com and Yahoo Hot Jobs.

It appears now that Hot Jobs and Monster have joined together I receive far more fake jobs that are scams than ever before. Examples include an International Product Dispatcher making over $3,000 a month for one or two hours a day, Anthea Dales from Diamond Group Inc. with a potential job offer of over $3,000 a month shipping products from my home to other locations worldwide, and far more other lucrative jobs that are not legitimate offers of employment. I could start forwarding them back to Monster but I hope this is not the first time you have heard of something like this. Can monster do anything to keep these scammers from acquiring lots of my personal information I entrust to Monster.com that could possibly be used for fraudulent purposes or identity fraud? What is your take on this situation please? What can your company do to protect innocent people who may be emailed with scam offers that state they (scammers) have found my resume on Monster.com and want to solicit me for a job that does not exist? I'm looking for part-time or full time work myself. There should be an opening at Monster to screen jobs that regularly get posted that do not exist or merely seek to commit fraud on potential applicants. Thank you for any response you may have about this situation on fake job offers by email.

The next entry will be the official response from Monster.com

Kevin Miller Pound Group Inc. Job Scam Payment Processing Agent

2010-10-25T12:19:00.002-05:00

I am very disappointed that job scammers have infiltrated Monster.com and Yahoo Hot jobs. Now I am starting to receive email notifications that companies have reviewed my resume and now want to hire me for jobs that do not exist. Or these jobs exist to serve as a scam because there is absolutely no way I can make money like what is described below and with such simple hours per day and week. I really wish I had the nerve to send all my personal information to secure fake employment just to take these scammers for a ride, but for now, I'm not nerve ready. I'd rather just expose the job as a fake job and sit back and hopefully help others from parting from any good money they may already have in favor of scams like the one below.

Any thoughts?????

This is an interesting Nigerian scam on several levels.

(2) The scammer to try and convince you he's on your side offers his cell phone number of +234 802 481 4161 which he says he just acquired in Nigerian. Yeah right.

(3) Notice the questions the scammer wants you to provide to them.

1. Your full name:--------------
2. Your home address:----------
3. Your contact phone number:-----------
4. Your Occupation: ----------
5. Your marital status/age:----
6. Your valid id card/international passport:--------

What is that, home equity yes or no? What kind of question is that? And your valid id card/international passport? What is it they are looking for here?

For a great convincing read (yet woefully a scam, please read the email in its entirety below. I will for sure give those scammers credit for trying to look more honest and less crooked but it's still a fraud for sure.

Here's that email:

UNITED NATIONS OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL OVERSIGHT SERVICES

From: Mr Addey Femola

This is to officially inform you that I came to Nigeria yesterday from London, after series of complains from the FBI and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe, Oceania, Antarctica, South America and the United States of America respectively, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government for the rate of scam activities going on in these two nations.
I have met with President Dr. Good Luck Jonathan the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Who claimed that he has been trying his best to make sure you receive your fund in your account with some proves. Right now, as directed by our secretary general Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, We are working in collaborations with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and have decided to Ensure That Your Approved Fund Legal Papers Is Secured and authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect the payment of your compensation Approved Fund Valid $10 M direct to you.
Approved by both the British government and the UN into your account without any delay. All you need to do is to furnish us your Identification (ID) and your direct cell phone to enable us cross check your information we have in our file here with us at the same time advice you on what to do to receive your fund. Sincerely, you are a lucky person.

Kevin Babcock Scam Anderson, South Carolina 864-844-7697

2010-10-21T23:43:00.001-05:00

Below is a recent twist to the Nigerian scams wanting to take your money:

Attn:

I am Mr. Kevin Babcock. I am a US citizen, 22 years Old. I reside here in 225 Hammond Cir APT C,

Anderson South Carolina 29621 United States. My phone number is 864-844-7697 and My drivers

license number is 102227086 . Am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those

that took part in the lottery in United Kingdom months ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid

over $5,000 while in the United States, trying to get my payment but all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to United Kingdom with all my claim documents, and I was directed to

meet Barrister Benedikt Caruso of Regent Chambers, who is one of the senior Barristers of Regent

Chambers and also a member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, I contacted him and he explained

everything to me. He said whoever is contacting me through email is fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment. Right now I am the

happiest man on earth because I have received my compensation funds of 900,000.00 (Nine hundred

thousand great britain pounds). Moreover, Barrister Benedikt Caruso showed me the full

information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email address, that is

why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they

are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister Benedikt Caruso.You have

to contact him directly on this information below.

Regent chambers

Name: Barrister Benedikt Caruso
Email: benediktcaruso@regenttchamberslaw.com
Tel: +44 131-208-4420

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that

your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and

they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I meet Barrister

Benedikt Caruso was just 300GB pounds for the paper works, take note of that. Once again stop

Contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Benedikt Caruso so that he can

help you to Transfer your Fund into your Account, instead of dealing with those liars that will be

turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete Your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mr. Kevin Babcock.

Doreen Dickson Funds Claim Nigerian Scam

2010-10-11T19:56:00.002-05:00

Wow, and here's yet another Nigerian scam...five in my inbox in one day. I must be in the Nigerian scammers hit list or something.

Hello Beneficiary,
We are not sure you received our previous email wherein we expressed our grave concern about an account that has been dormant and substantial has a huge amount of money on it which is now tagged "unclaimed funds" The bank is compelled by the laws to hand over the funds (as unclaimed funds) to the Nigerian Government at the end of the year 2010 if no claim is made immediately. As a result, we would like to further discuss this matter with you to work out ways of achieving this goal and we would respectfully request that you treat the content of this letter as privileged and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this correspondence.

It might interest you to know that every year in Nigeria, contractors especially foreigners die without leaving a Will or known Next of Kin thereby forfeiting so much money to the Nigerian Government as unclaimed estate. There is a time limit at the discretion of the Treasury Department when claiming such inheritance hence the need to act swiftly to reconcile this account. In a recent news report, there is currently more than US$30billion as unclaimed fund and with the total of unclaimed money rising faster than people claiming. It is projected that in the year 2020, there could be as much as US$40billion of unclaim funds in Nigeria. Aging population is adding more significantly to this number.

This is what prompted us to contact you and legally empower you to claim the estate before it becomes too late. In compliance with standard requirements of the federal disclosure and privacy laws which prohibit us from revealing certain privileged information without due process, we intentionally left out certain information which we deemed proprietary at this point and to enable us double-check our record and ensure that you are indeed the addressee of this letter. We need you to reconfirm your information by providing us with your full name; your date of birth; your current occupation; contact address and your telephone numbers.

Once we reconfirm your information and endorse same appropriately, we shall give you guidelines on how we intend to release the said funds to you without the breach of the law. For further information, do not hesitate to contact us.

We thank you for your attention and look forward to hearing from you.

Please help us to serve you better.

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Doreen Dickson

Senior Productivity Coach/Project Manager

Looking at the website you will notice the following messages at the very top:

* #2 Website of the Year - Time
* Editors Choice Award - PC Plus
* "Top virtual concierge service" - Tim Ferriss

I think it is funny the website creators have to show the site has an "Editor's Choice Award" from something called PC Plus, and also a #2 (they are a close second to whatever the #1 website of the year is from Time Magazine, and they supposedly take a quote from a Tim Terriss that says, "Top Virtual Concierge Service". But funny, I can't find anything from Tim Terriss that endorses this so I've emailed his website to ask if he was aware his good name was used on a fake job website from Russia. (We'll see if he replies to me on this comment.)

Also the video showing below shows only 8 seconds of video and then stops even though it appears to try and allude to show the whole video is actually available to be seen as much longer. Here are two sceen shots:

The first one below is the actual complete screen. Please click on it to enlarge it:

Secondly here's the screen showing what would appear to be a much longer video but you just can't play the video beyond the eight seconds the scam wants you to see:

Breanna Cameron International Product Dispatcher

2010-10-07T20:23:00.002-05:00

I received the comment below from an anonymous reader of the blog.

They stated the comment below:

I also received this email, but I am curious as to how they can "SCAM" me with it. Out of curiousity I played along. I gave them my name and DOB which is public information. I filled out a document and emailed it back. Didn't provide any private information. Very shortly after I received an phone call from a blocked # pretty much confirming my position with the company. That really confused me because I'm sure it's a SCAM, but I don't understand what they're trying to do here.

I couldn't find someone online that has specifically experienced fraud, but there is fraud to be had in a fake job scam like the one mentioned from Breanna Cameron for a position as an International Product Dispatcher.

Go here to read a good bit of detailed information someone provided about this particular scam I actually documented in an earlier entry.

Anyone else have any comments please?

Fake Jobs From Monster.Com

2010-10-06T08:57:00.003-05:00

Some of my prior readers and those who commented on the blog suggested we contact these main "powerhouses" of employment opportunities online to ask why they allow such scammers and fake jobs to be posted.

This morning I emailed Monster.com where I feel most of the fake job offers are coming from to see what they believe or why they allow this to happen.

I will post a reply but at this point so the message I sent to them is not searchable, I will wait and see if I receive a reply.

At this point, I don't feel like my information is secure at Monster.com and the company probably thinks I'm just some full moon type of idiot who is seeking to tarnish the company reputation.

Perhaps I'll be wrong but at this point, until I receive a reply from them, I will think very skeptical of Monster.com.

Have a good week everyone!

Please be very careful when responding to ads here on craigslist.

This ad was posted...
Entry-level customer service and order processing position for persons with little to moderate experience in the field of regulatory compliance and transportation. This position will be responsible for the processing of city municipality permit requests, as taken via email, Internet or system to system, from a specified customer base.

I received an email saying to keep $200 for myself and send the rest via money order to someone in Las Vegas.

So, if it is too good to be true, it probably is. Be very careful when you reply to ads here.

I sure wish there was a way to shut down these fake jobs on Craigslist. So far, Craigslist warns us about job scams but does very little to make job people posting for work or help wanted to validate themselves as legitimate companies.

Anyone contacted Craigslist and got a feeling of goodness when complaining about fake jobs?

Be careful as always...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is for sure!!

Staff Sgt. Marriot Brown American Soldier Email Scam

2010-09-29T21:58:00.004-05:00

Well, now the scammers are trying to impersonate military officials "discovering" a mere $30 Million Dollars at one of Saddam's castles...and this friendly person is just freely willing to ask me personally to help get the money out of the country (and a lot of other people to scam money from) because he found my email address "contact particulars in an address journal."

There have to be people that fall for something like this...I'd like to hope others will research it before just being scammed. Notice the AOL email address too.

Below is the email:

From:
"Sgt. Marriot Brown"
To:
undisclosed-recipients

Read Carefully,

How are you and your family? Hope all is well.
My name is (Staff Sgt.) Marriot Brown; I am an American soldier, serving in the
military with the army's 3rd infantry division. With a desperate need for
assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found your contact
particulars in an address journal. I am seeking for your kind assistance to move
the sum of($30 Million U.S Dollars) Thirty Million United States Dollars to you
as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I
complete my service here.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farm house near
one of Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was
agreed by staff sgt. Kennet Buff and I that some part of this money be shared
among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the
money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what, no
compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hole
of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last time.

The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money
became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and
his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe
location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real content of the
package, and believes that it belongs to a British/American medical doctor who
died in a raid here in Iraq, before giving up, trusted me to hand over the
package to his family in United States. I have now found a very secured way of
getting the package out of Iraq to you at home for you to pick up, and I will
discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me and I
believe that my money will be well secured in your hand because you have fear of
God. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the
assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not
to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this
offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information
will be too bad for us soldiers here in Iraq.

I do not know how long we will remain here, Month of May last year was the
deadliest month for us out here. Totaly, 127 men were lost. This and other
reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly
want this matter to be resolved immediately.

God bless you and your family.

Sgt. Marriot Brown.

Chidex Jessie Central Bank Of Nigeria Scam

2010-09-15T20:10:00.001-05:00

Below is a scam I just received in my inbox. I can't say enough...it's just SO nice that Chidex Jessie was looking out for me...I'm sure she will need tons of money from me to get me money that I'm not ever going to get from her.

This is a true short note about your unpaid fund with the Nigerian Government, so you need to read very attentively and know why your fund has not been released to you.

My name is Ms Chidex Jessie. I am a computer scientist working with Central Bank of Nigeria. I am 25years old, just started working with C.B.N. I came across your file marked X and your released Disk painted RED. I took time to study it and tried to find out why the funds were not released to you. The most annoying thing is that these wicked and selfish men will never tell you the truth that they wont release the fund to you, instead they would want you to spend your money unnecessarily. I do not intend to work here forever. I can help you claim your funds by directing you to the sincere and authorized person that has the legitimate power to release your entire fund to you. But you must certify my security from these evil men.

I have to do this because you need to know the status of your fund and the cause for delay. This is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria and you may not understand because you are not a Nigerian. The only thing needed to release this fund to you is the Original Anti Drug/Terrorist Clearance Certificate. This will be tendered to your nominated bank and the Internal Revenue Service IRS for Clearance of the transferring fund into your account. Once the Original Anti Drug/Terrorist Clearance Certificate is cleared, fund will immediately reflect in your bank within 10minutes. They have been fooling you all these while and you have not been issued with the Original Had Copy of the Agreement.

The reason is that the people you have been dealing with are only deceiving you, they have not been working any thing for you. What they are after is the money you will send to them. They never worked any thing for the release of your payment and they wont tell you the truth. Original Certificates is all it takes to complete this transaction. The only authorized and sincere person to issue you the Original Documents and transfer your funds to you is Mrs. Doreen Dickson. Please when contacting her, make sure you indicate your file letter X and tell her its painted color Red, so that she will be able to recognize your file.

The new President of Nigeria made a compensation fund release for all unpaid beneficiaries/contractors valued at US$10million. Therefore, you are not going to receive your original initial fund payment. The compensation fund release bonus will be added to your original fund payment. The entire fund both your initial payment and the compensation fund will be transferred to your bank account once the Original Legal Documents are cleared.

Listed below are the mafias and banks behind the non-release of your fund that I managed to sneak out for your kind perusal.

1) Prof. Charles Soludo, Former CBN Governor
2) Chief Joseph Sanusi
3) Dr. R. Rasheed
4) Barrister Awele Ugorji
5) Mr. Roland Ngwa
6) Barrister Ucheuzo Williams
7) Mr. Ernest Chukwudi Obi
8) Mr. Tunde Lemo
9) Mrs. Okonjo Iweala
10) Mrs. Rita Ekwesili
11) Barr Jacob Onyema
12) Dr. Godwin Oboh: Director Union Bank of Nigeria
13) Mr. John Collins: Global Diplomat Director
14) Foreign fund diplomatic courier
15) Barr. Becky Owens
16) Rev. Steven Jones
17) Bank of Africa
18) Mr. Michael Wagner
19) ADB Bank Ouagadougou Burkina Faso
20) FSA UK
21) NATWEST BANK
22) ECO Bank
23) Credit Bank
24) Esther Nenadi Usman Former minister of finance
25) Fraudsters Nigerian EFCC

Please get back to me ASAP if you are still interested in claming your fund.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Jessica Chidex

Jeanie Macpherson Scam Email Attorney Goodluck Akin Fake

2010-08-23T23:15:00.002-05:00

Here's an interesting twist to scam emails...still a scam as well but it appears the scammers are trying to get smarter...

From:
"Mrs. Jeanie Macpherson"
Add sender to Contacts
To:
undisclosed-recipients
Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs Jeanie Macpherson, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in Silver Springs Florida. My residential address is as follows. 7008 E Hwy 326 Silver Springs FLorida 34488, United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$20,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, And I was directed to meet Attorney Goodluck Akin, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $1,500,000.00 Moreover, Attorney Goodluck Akin, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email address, that is why I have decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Attorney Goodluck Akin.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Attorney Goodluck Akin (Esq)
Email: attorneygoodluckakin@yahoo.com.hk

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Attorney Goodluck Akin was just US$580 for the paper works, take note of that.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Attorney Goodluck Akin so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mrs. Jeanie Macpherson.

Wow, yet again here's another scam email from an alleged Mr. Bright. But he includes his cell phone number below. He must not be as bright as I would think him to be. But read on for his scam and details of what he supposedly doesn't want to do for you:

Hi,
Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before making you this offer and it is utterly confidential and genuine by virtue of its nature.I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$3.5M.This fund has been stashed out of the excess profit made last year by my branch office the International Commercial Bank Ltd, which I am one of the local branch manager here in Ghana.

I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2009 to my head office they will never know of this excess. I have since then, placed
this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary.

Upon your response, I will configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to apply to my head office
for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank account.

If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 40% of the funds while 60% shall be for me.
Kindly forward your response to: mrbrighticb2@aol.com
My direct cell number +233543565058

Amal Akbar Email Scam

2010-08-05T14:56:00.001-05:00

Lately the scam emails keep right on coming to my inbox. Just look at this one...written in the classic scamy fraudy sort of way:

Hello.

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Amal Akbar, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe if i have a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, England and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash that I deposit in a bank in England UK.

I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I Amal Akbar that is making this generous donation.

I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed in England where I wait for my time to come. If you are interested to help me i will give you more information about this like the amount that i deposited in the bank and Contact of the bank so you can contact them. I will also send you pictures of my self when in the hospital.

Note that you will take 20% out of the funds and give 80% to the charity organizations. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart God be with you.

If you can help please respond back to me on my private email: amal00@freemail.lt

Regards.

Amal Akbar
