Scambusters, Preventing Internet Scams & Phishing Attempts

This blog is dedicated to help preventing internet fraud and internet scams. Scambusters was a radio show I started in Albany Oregon, but due to defaulted payment by the radio station we took the show offline. Regardless of this issue we still wish to help prevent internet fraud and save people from internet loss. I have been interviewed and featured in various publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times & Daily News, The London Times & AARP Newsletters. Please watch this blog for latest tips and tricks and scams to avoid.

PAYMENT CENTER
PAYCODE: WU/1000/QEK4

Hello,

This is to inform that your funds was transferred this evening through
the help of Mr. Philip Swanson, we were unable to send the whole of
$700,000USD. Western Union says that the maximum transfer per day is
$10,000USD and that is what we sent so as to continue the rest of the
transfer tomorrow, Also Western Union demanded that we must pay for
the remittance of the check before the release of the pick up
information of $10,000USD to you. And this is $98USD which has to be
paid through Mr. Philip Swanson,

They requested that you should write Mr. Swanson with the below email
id for both the pick up information and direction on how to send the
remittance fee of $98USD.

Here is Mr. Swanson
Email: pswanson1@yahoo.cn
Or call him at +447045798052.

Thank you.
Terry Hanshaw
