Talking of spelling erorrs, they spelled advise...advice!

...For security reasons, we advice all winners .....

 

YOu would think that they would keep records as to who and how many of these scam letters they have sent out LOL.

 

I rec'd the more dangerous ones you know. So called from your bank saying your account has been restricted and please follow the link and give us your info, a friend of mind nearly fell for it if I was not around his place. I said to him dose that email have your name on it? Answer of course is no, never click the link on and never ever open any attachments.

I always report them to my bank or the bank they are trying to rip off. One had my bank and the other was not my bank, any how they have been reported and marked as spam and deleted.

These kind of emails rely on you living in the rush rush world, skim read it and off you go giving your details like pin numbers.

 

I wonder at how anyone could be hooked by any of these mails? I mean, if I recieve something-I immediately delte it-never opening it nor reading it--except-when I feel likt "toying" around with the senders mind-though feeble that it really is.

Anyway, it astounds me that adults fall for these "Ponsie Schemes" all the time. I feel sorry for them to an extent but, they should have seen that Locomotive coming before they were run over by it.

Especially since my money is stretched very tightly these days, I sure as hell will pay attention to where or and how; I spend it.

 

I just got one from "Wells Fargo" Bank. I don't bank with them LOL. So why would I open it?

 

I just started rec'g, again, emails from "ebay"! They are not really from ebay, it's a scam, but I wonder too how many people fall for that and send info to them! I've reported them to ebay, they said they already know about it!

 

I used to get those too. I just ignore them now.

 

UPDATE

The Bank I don't do business with sent me a email and thanked me for reporting the scam email I rec'd. Shame my Bank has failed to do the same thing. BTW, that bank said these emails are sent out on mass so if your wondering why now you know.

 

Here's one from today.

 

This must be the first new type I rec'd today.

 

WHUUUUUUT????

I CANNOT HEAR YOU!!!

Idiots with their jammed shift-keys...honestly...

 

My newest one LOL.


SHELL PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (SPDC) LOME-TOGO
House 5, Block 2 Shell quarters.



Hello,

With due respect, I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a
surprising manner. But I
respectfully insist you read this letter carefully as I am optimistic
it will open doors for
unimaginable financial rewards to you. I am Enger. James Wood, of the
Shell Petroleum Development
Corporation (SPDC) Lome -Togo. I have successfully transferred $3.
3million to the first bank
account that Mr. Jeffery Burke, provided but the bank informed me that
the other bank account he
provided cannot carry the balance so I can`t wire the remaining
$6.5million there, and I have not
heard from Mr. Jeffery Burke since a week he informed me that he has
pulled the funds from his
bank account, I guess he has betrayed me and I believe you are not
such. I have contacted you to
assist me receive the remaining balance.

Please get back to me ASAP so that I can transfer the remaining
balance as soon as possible I
have made a solid arrangement with the bank`s director of operation
remittance department to make
this transfer through their SWIFT CARD PAYMENT CENTRE in Europe,
America and Asia Pacific,

This card centre will send you an ATM CARD which you will use to
withdraw this money in an ATM
MACHINE in any part of the world, but the maximum is ($10,000.00USD)
Five Thousand US Dollars per
transaction. So that you will withdraw $10,000USD a day and each
transaction is $ 5,000USD
minimum which you have to withdraw $10,000USD for one working day so
that you will take your
percentage and send me my share every day, also be informed that the
total amount in the SWIFT
ATM CARD is $6.5million USD. I promise to give you 30% from the total
sum. This funds arose from
over-invoicing of contract receipts for the Turn Around Maintenance
(TAM) of the refineries in
Lome-Togo and also the rehabilitation of Petroleum pipelines, depot and
Jetties.

The Federal Government and the Federal Ministry of Petroleum resources
approved the total value of
$280million, and the payment of foreign contractors from Japan, France
and U.S.A. has already
started, because most part of the work for the Turn Around Maintenance
(TAM) has been fully
Completed, I will use your Name or company as a consultant and job
costing contractor to SHELL so
that the $6.5million can be transferred to you without any hitch
whatsoever.

Please treat this with total maturity/confidentiality until the
conclusion of this transaction and
also furnish me with your private telephone number for easy
communication.

Get back to me with your personal information so that I will apply on
your behalf.

Um er, this is a classic one for this activity of: :headbonk: :lol: :lol:

 

Its more of a phishing scam than a money maker. they want you to react angrily, they want you to reply so they can get access to your e-mail.

 

I could say a few things on that JC but will just say full of holes.


I wish Shell was that easy to work with but in reality they are a B*tch to work for. Same with all the "big companies"

 

I seem to have a number of orders from America.

Pardon I am clueless.

Delete, delete, delete.

 

WOW.

Just rec'd this one.

 

Just one today.
