Dateline did a special once about those Nigerian money emails, and how people have actually believed them and fallen for the scams. Most of the people who fell for these were older, retirement-aged people too. Sad.

The worst are the people that are looking for a place to live. They find listings online for too good to be true rental amounts and contact the ad owner, who coincidentally is a married missionary who needs someone trustworthy and honest to watch their lovely home while they're overseas (not always Nigeria).
What has really happened is someone has stolen the ad content and pictures from a legitimate rental listing on a legitimate website and created a scam rental listing with a lower asking price. The catch: you have to send a payment by western union or money order to receive the keys. Some people still see the $700 deposit as a small price to pay to move into a beautiful property that might normally rent much higher than that. This applies to long-term rentals as well as vacation rentals. I can't tell you how many times a day I hear about these scams at my job. What's worse is that you would think people have heard it all and are more aware, but people report financial loss every day over this. MORAL OF THE STORY: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. (I'm sure your grandparents have said this before....) |
Just got another one. Here come the money:
From: The Accountant, First Inland Bank Nigeria Plc Victoria Island Lagos. Dear Friend, My name is Mr. John Gelsthorp. I am the accountant of the First Inland Bank Victoria Island Lagos. I am a Nigerian married with two kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer of US$3.800,000.00 (Three Million, Eight Hundred Thousand US Dollars). This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the accountant made as profit during the last year. I have already submitted an approved end of the last year report for the year 2006 and also submitted report of first quarter of this year 2008 to my Head Office here in Lagos and they will never know of this Excess. I have since then, placed this amount of US$3.800,000.00 (Three Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Us Dollars) on a SUSPENCE ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account. I intend to part with 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated bank account anywhere you feel safer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response. You can contact me via my private email: mrjohn_gelsthorp3@hotmail.com. you can also contact me on my private phone number: 2347082880646. Best regards, Mr. John Gelsthorp |

Apparently you get a message (not a wall post, but an actual message) from a friend saying "look at this video" or whatever, then it tells you to install flash (not really flash! get all your flash updates from THEIR website!) then you're part of a botnet.

We got a text message the other day from a bank we've never used telling us that our bank card had been deactivated and gave us a number to call....and my mom got an email last week from bank of america thanking her for updating her online account, and wanted her to reply with something...she doesn't do online banking with them, she called them and they said it wasn't form them.....
And I've gotten 3 or 4 facebook virus messages...never opened one because the spelling was all messed up |
Wohoo, the way I'm going, I'll be rich as Warren Buffet.

My favorite one was the one from the FBI director. However, I didn't know that the FBI spelled everything with the lowercase. I busted out laughing when I got this and read it. I've gotten it three times already and the second and third ones I forwarded onto the FBI itself to their internet crimes division.

They were talking about this guy on the radio yesterday morning. He lost $150,000 in this scam and it went really far, with him traveling to Europe, meeting the guys and everything. Unreal.

Why would some folks think that these things are real? I mean really, they are always looking for the "next of kin" and you're supposedly it? I mean, I know MOST if not all of my family and I don't think that any of these people would be my "relatives." It's a shame that foks get suckered into these basic con games. One say someone is going to do this deal and end up getting shot.

i actually made up a brand new account and forwarded one to myself and answered it (i was majorly bored)...i said how it was such a blessing and how i had lost my job and how "fortunate" i was that someone wanted to share with me. i got one email back that said i needed to send them a thousand bucks to "process" it, and i responded that i couldnt afford a thousand, would they take 500?
they didnt respond :rolleyes: |
/\ you should send a response to the one I posted. Aparently, they understand that we're in a recession hence the cheap rates. LOL
|
what really got to me is that simple logic would've prevented people from being defrauded. Corporations, governments, law firms, will not be using free email services to send their official messages. Also, look at the caps being used people.

Good day
I do sincerely apologies for contacting through this media. However, I am left with just no choice other than to contact you through this media, . I am married to Mr Humphrey,we have been married ever since the fifties, I lost my husband and kids during the sept 11 attack in the world trade center and ever since then I've remained a widow We were a dedicated Christians (Catholic) and decided to serve mankind to the best of our ability. Since their death, I have lived with the memories, fighting effortlessly to live a normal life but all to no avail. I suffered mentally and psychologically and shortly was diagnosed of Cancer. I lived with the scourge praying earnestly for divine intervention. Just a month ago, the doctor informed me that I have just about three months more to live. I was not shocked. I accepted the news in good fate. My dear beloved, it is in this regard that I write to you, having source your address from a database in my late husband's internet dozier after fervent prayers. Before my husband died, he deposited a sum of $million (eight million three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a security company. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do soothe security company has no single idea of what's the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that I may direct. This is the situation. I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. I have wholeheartedly decided to donate the entirety of this fund to any devoted believer or organization and to achieve this, I need an individual that will utilize this funds adherently for these purposes: 1: For the sick, less and de statute 2: For the Widows and the motherless babies etc 3: orphanages, Research centers and widows propagating. These are the wishes of a dying woman are the desires of my heart, hence my decision as I do not have a child to take over my inheritance. Please, understand that I am not doing this because of fear of death as I am certain where my place already is At this point, friends,well wishers, and my husbands relatives are all clamp around me as I sojourn in my hospital bed and are unaware of my plight, hence I will not be able to make an open conversation. When I receive your response, I will direct you at once to an attorney who shall assist you with the deposit portfolio transfer of ownership procedures. The transfer of ownership certification cost and other miscellaneous expense shall be bear by you this purpose,i have decided to offer you 27% of the total sum. This offer is bestially to reward you for your dedication and time wish to state here that my communication w I you will seize once i have gi vein you the attorney contact and of course a letter of authority mandating the security company to entertain your claims of right of ownership. All I need from you is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that you can in all honesty and obedience utilize the funds for the purpose with which it is meant. In any a case, a quick response from you will be highly appreciated as I am already on a count-down and may not have ample time to finalize the procedures. Any delay in response may compel me to source for other measures or perhaps choose the alternative which I will not be happy to. Please, do not see this as a strange possibility or an unbelievable opportunity to make wealth, rather see this as a rare chance to assist the less privileged in truth and in spirit with a substance not betray my confidence in you. please reply me on my personal email which is juanhump@gmail.com try to use this secret code 0505980 hen replying so i can know i am getting a direct response from you And also contact my lawyer Barister Earl Simmons his email is earlsimmons@lawyer.com. As soon as you read this email try to contact him and you can also collect his phone number to talk to him on the phone when you have contacted him. Also let me have your FULL NAME AGE SEX COUNTRY OCCUPATION MOBILE NUMBER I await your immediate response. Thank You and Bless You richly! Yours Sincerely Mrs Juanita Humphrey |
