Scambusters, Preventing Internet Scams & Phishing Attempts

Microsoft/AOL Giveaway Hoax Email / Spam

Wow, I can't believe this old hoax is still being sent out, is there any hoax older? The worse part is that intelligent people are sending this out to others. The harmful part is there are 1000s of emails attached to the email I received which is huge if I wish to harvest emails to send spam or scams too (if I was doing that).

People say that this is not harmful, what do you have to lose, however it is harmful, it gives out too many email address and floods email boxes and servers with useless crap.

Stop giving the fraudsters who thought this junk up the laugh they want and really please stop sending this junk out.

Ok guys, my lawyer's paralegal sent this one to me and if it doesn't work, they are aware that we all will be coming to visit them for a law suit for false advertisement! J

THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY20USA TODAY - IT IS FOR REAL

To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages,
But this is from my friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is
an attorney.

If she says that this will work - It will work. After all,What have
you got to lose?

SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an
attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured
AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for
fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one
filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long a go.

Dear Friends: Please do not take this for a junk letter.
Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent
later .

Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies
and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the
most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail
beta test.

When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will
track it (If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks
time period.

For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay
you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on,
Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives
it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact
you for your address and then send you a check.

Thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks af ter receiving this
e-mail and for warding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address a nd
within days, I received a check for $24, 800.00 . You need to respond
before the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford this, Bill gates is the
man.

It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many
people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10, 000.00
We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without
getting a little something for our time.. My brother's girlfriend got in
on this a few months ago. When I went to visit him for the Baylor/UT
game, she showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4, 324.44 and
was stamped 'Paid I n Full'.

Department of Budget and Planning From Engineer Peter Foxs,

Great twist on a Nigerian scheme, it adds a name / contact to someone who was successful, however of course that person is no longer there and that is how they lost millions, "How Convenient"

We were disappointed on our arrival in New York as we were reliably informed that Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on that address while his Telephone and Telex Numbers have been reallocated to somebody else. That was how we lost US$27.5M to Mr.Patrice Miller.

Also what kind of name is Patrice for a man, obviously the person writing this "scam" up on names, maybe he meant a "Boy Named Sue"

REF: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

Most competent people are choosen for competent jobs and assignments, and with that due respect have we also choosen to select you and contact you on this very confidential matter. Our Cote D'Ivoire Chamber of Commerce and industry offers variety of names of notable people from your part of the Globe.

That was where I got your information from. Therefore, after due deliberation with my partners, we decided to forward to you this proposal. We believe that you would be in a position to help us in our did to transfer the sum of US$41.5M(Forty-0ne million, five hundred thousand dollars only) into a foreign account.

We shall make it 100% legal as much possible as you would want.
We are members of the special committee for budget and planning of the Ministry of Petroleum.

This committee is principally concerned with contract appraisals and approval of contracts in order of priorities as regards CAPITAL PROJECTS of the Government of Cote d'Ivoire.

With our positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of Forty-one Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$41.5M). We are working with the present Democratically elected Government in my country, and we are seeking the support of Foreign Government

to win the next election coming up, which the race has started. So they have given directive to all Federal Parastatals to settle all Foreign Contractors being owed for contract that they have done.

Therefore, our plan is to include your name as one of the contractors being owed in our corporation.

What we need from you is to provide a safe Account into which the funds will be transferred since Government Officials in my country are not allowed by our laws to Operate Foreign Accounts.

It has been agreed that you will be compensated with US$8.3 Million of the remitted funds.

US$31.125Million belongs to us, while US$2.075Million will be set aside to offset expenses and pay the necessary taxes.

It may interest you to know that two years ago a similar transaction was carried out with one Mr. Patrice Miller, the C.E.O of Crane International Trading Corporation at number 135, East 57th street, 28th floor,New York 10022, with(212)308-7788 and Telex Number 6731689.

After the agreement between both of us in which he was to take 25% of the money as his share, the money was duly transferred into his Account.

We were disappointed on our arrival in New York as we were reliably informed that Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on that

address while his Telephone and Telex Numbers have been reallocated to somebody else. That was how we lost US$27.5M to Mr.Patrice Miller.

This time around we would not want you to be like that. We need a more reliable and trustworthy person and a reputable Company to do this business with, hence we contacted you.

So if you can prove yourself to be trusted and interested in this deal then we are prepared to do business with you.

What we want from you is the assurance that you will let us have our share when this amount of US$41.5M is transferred into your account.

If this proposal satisfies you, please contact us, so we can advice you on the modalities of the transaction.

All modalities of this transfer, have been worked out and once started will not take more than 7 Banking days with the absolute support of all concerned.

This transaction is 100% safe and risk free now and after the transfer.

Kindly treat this as urgent.

Nigerian Dormant Account Scam / Via London

Common sense should tell anyone that a 'Well Known Bank' or a representative of a such a bank would not contact someone via email that they don't know in an country they don't live to help them get nearly $50 Million out of their country.

This sender tried to use a small twist saying that you did not reply to the "Letter" he mailed (postal) and he is just following up, however this is the only email / contact he made to you as well as a few thousand other people.

Total scam, of course asking you for up front money to be wired for whatever reason, fees, customs, drafts, paperwork, bribes or whatever.

Plus there are 3 emails associated with this email, MSN Live, Hotmail (Also a MSN) and Yahoo.HK

A recommendation from a friend (Nigerian Scam)

Common Nigerian Scam with a minor twist. It only provides a link to "proof" of an accident to help convince you it is real. However anyone can provide proof to any accident or disaster, like a tornado, hurricane, flood or crash, however that of course show no true association with that event.

Always avoid any email asking you for information and/or offering you "free" money. Money is never free and they will require money up front from you "wired" before you receive anything, and of course that money will never come.

Scam Alert: Expect an upsurge in identity theft as the economy weakens

A new report out this week highlights the danger of identity theft - for all of us. The number of identity theft cases increased 22 percent in 2008, affecting nearly 10 million Americans.

Javelin Strategy and Research has been conducting the identity-theft study for the past five years. The most recent statistics show people are doing a better job detecting and responding to fraud more quickly.

Identity theft cost the victim about $496 per incident - down from $718, a 31 percent drop, from a year earlier. Don't brush that number off. According to the study, the identity thief is making off with nearly $5,000 per case. So, follow my train of thought: There's quite a difference between the direct cash out of the victim's pocket and what the thief is stealing. The banks, credit card companies and businesses are making up the difference and must pass that cost on to all of us. The money comes from somewhere, which makes each and every one of us a victim of identity theft, because we're all sharing in the cost.

I could pass on number after number, but I prefer to focus on what we can learn. If you take nothing away from reading the following words, I most want you to grasp the importance of taking opportunity away from the identity thief.

LESSON ONE: IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO GET WORSE

The economy is a big reason for the increase in identity-theft cases. Since we're not going to snap out of the current economic challenges overnight, expect to see more attempts to steal your personal information.

LESSON TWO: VIGILANCE MEANS LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER

The fraudsters are moving faster. The bad guys and girls are more sophisticated and are putting technology to work. Review your bank and credit card statements looking for the slightest irregularities. Be sure to check your credit reports annually. Shred paper that has identifying information.

LESSON THREE: GENDER MATTERS

This year's Javelin Strategy and Research identity fraud report found that women were 26 percent more likely to be victims of identity fraud than men. Why? Fraud attacks involving women occur more often via in-person channels, such as stores and restaurants, where there is less consumer control. There is a greater percentage of women making in-person purchases, and women were almost three times more likely than men to report their information stolen during an in-person purchase.

LESSON FOUR: LOCK IT UP AND KEEP CLOSE WATCH

Lost or stolen wallets, checkbooks and credit cards are still the most likely sources of identity theft. Online access accounted for only 11 percent of the total fraud.

Don't be scared of identity theft. But don't think it can never happen to you. Be vigilant and protect your identity.

Part time job for you
BMS, Bullet Motorsports Speedlab, was originally founded to turn "ordinary" BMWs into the fastest race cars possible. BMS race cars have won numerous national championships over the past four years and BMS continues to promote club racing through its driver development program. From their intimate knowledge of the inner workings of BMWs, and countless hours of track time testing products in a high-stress environment, BMS technicians are highly skilled in tuning BMWs and Minis for street applications. There are many misconceptions in the aftermarket tuning industry. Our job is to separate the truth from the hype, for the benefit of our customers. Of course, tuning by itself is insufficient without full knowledge of servicing not only BMW components, but also the full range of aftermarket equipment from superchargers to stereos. There is nothing on your BMW or Mini that BMS can't fix - or if you desire, improve.
