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.

Release/Transfer Notice for your due Funds (US$3,500,000:00).

Payment File No: A.

24Hrs Service

It is very important that the recipient of this Letter should call this office in order to confirm it to us that this very Letter was received by the true beneficiary.

You are advised to read this Letter very carefully because every paragraph explains what you need to know about the Release and Transfer of your due Funds.

At this point, we wish to remind you to stop all further contact with any person or person(s) whom is not recommended by this Ministry. Our Intelligence Monitoring Unit (I.M.U), Code of Conduct Bureau, Legal Unit and The Nigerian Police Force (N.P.F) have already apprehended some of those suspects whom attempted to divert your Funds.

You are advised to stop all further contact with some scammer you have been dealing with, that have defrauded you of huge sums because they are WANTED criminal suspects.

As the honorable Minister of Nigeria, I work on behalf of the Paying Bank of Nigeria (Guaranty Trust Bank) under the supervision of the honorable President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We are glad to announce it to you today that the honorable President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Accountant General of the Federation have collectively Approved and signed the Order to Release and Transfer being the certified documentation authorizing us (The Federal Ministry of Finance) to credit your nominated Bank Account.

A copy of the Order to Release and Transfer have been forwarded to our international remittance department for the onward crediting of your Funds.

In other words, we put it to you that we are ready to remit your said Funds into your choiced Bank Account because we have a 3-4 working days time constrain to Pay-off each beneficiary short-listed to be Paid by this Ministry. Our Legal Unit have already reviewed your Payment Files and they have passed it on to my desk for me to Pay you accordingly, so be rest assured that you will receive your due Funds as soon as possible.

Officially, you will receive your due Funds via an "Electronic Wire Transfer" which will enable your Funds reflect in your choiced Bank Account within 48hrs after effect. This mode of Payment is defined as one of the best and safest mode to remit huge Funds internationally as it is absolutely different from the usual swift transfer which takes longer time. Most Banks within the United States of America, Europe and other developed countries operate with the "Electronic Wire Transfer" for international transfers because it is a recent innovation in the Banking industry.

Certainly we shall transfer your valued US$3,500,000:00 from the Sundry/Suspense Account of the Federal Government of Nigeria being the official Account for international/foreign Payments/debts. A Sundry/Suspense Account can be defined as a secret Account owned by a government and operated by certain assigned government officials being the authorized signatories whom must sign before Funds can be remitted from such account. For this very account no form of direct withdrawals can be made from it except a Bank to Bank wire transfer which must be Approved by the honorable President being the principal signatory to the account.Consequent to the fact that I am responsible to Pay you, it is still my duty to enlighten you on the accurate steps to take in order for you to gain full possession of this said Funds being Approved in your name.

In the combat against fraud, Funds diversion and Funds delay, we have re-lengthily ensured that several foreign beneficiaries have been Paid accordingly in order to retain and rekindle our country's reputation on the global map because this recent government dispensation is focused and targeted to relieve all foreign debts as mandated by The Senate, The National House of Assembly, The Federal Executive Council (F.E.C), Code of Conduct Bureau and The Federal Ministry of Finance (F.M.F).  Already, alot of foreign beneficiaries have been Paid by this Ministry so yours will not be an exception considering the fact that the honorable President have Approved your due Funds today dated 17th June 2011.

In accordance to section (1) paragraph 9 of the Settlement Edict Law of The Federal Republic of Nigeria of 1992, it is imperative that you provide us with the below listed information so that we can Pay you.

1. Full name.
2. Bank Name and Address.
3. Bank Account Number.
4. Routing Number/Swift Code (very important).
5. Your Residential Address.
6. Your mobile or home telephone Number.
7. A form of identification (I.D Card or Driver's License) is also required for official references.

MR.TONY MIKE --- Western Union Scam --- VERY IMPORTANT

Bad Western Union Scam, the code below does show that a WU has been picked up, so they got a real number, but they could have sent a test $10 to show it is a real code.  Also the code shows picked up, so if anyone bothered to check they would see the WU was already gone.  On top of all this they have a ton of typos in the email below.  They also ask for a lot of unneeded personal info that would not have anything to do with picking up a WU.

Plus it came from CHINA

Avoid these scams.

Common Money Scam (China): United Nations Compensation Commission...5th Batch Payment Notification.

Seems the UN is broke repaying everyone, as they switched to sending email from Yahoo in China = barrpatriciasmith@yahoo.cn and a weird email test@vietsub.info

Nicely written money scam, not too bad.  the email addresses are a dead giveaway, but otherwise very clean.  The other clear giveaway for people should be that the there are no TO: fields in the email. Would you not think if they were going to give you all this money, they would know who you are?  

Common money scam, fees due, etc..

Dear Beneficiary,
 
With reference to the fax message received from the Head Quarters of the UN in respect of the compensation payout to relevant beneficiaries (5th Phase) of which the last Phase had been paid out with the approval date of 7th of April 2005.
 
This 5th Phase payment is being made in accordance with the Governing Council's decision 227, which extended the temporary payment mechanism set out by the Governing Council in its decision 197, under which up to $274 million from the Compensation Fund will be made available for the payment of claims every quarter. In the present round of payment, all newly approved claims, i.e. claims approved for payment at the fifty-fifth session, will receive $100,000 or the principal amount of the award, if less, and some claims will receive up to $895,000.
 
The UN Governing Council monitors the distribution of payments to claimants by the relevant governments and international organizations. Governments and international organizations are obligated to distribute funds to successful claimants expeditiously and to report to the Commission on payments made to claimants. Any funds undistributed to claimants by governments and international organizations within six months of receiving payment shall be returned to the Commission. Further payments to governments and international organizations shall be suspended where they fail to report on the distribution of funds to successful claimants or fail to return undistributed funds on time.
 
The total sum of $750,000.00 has been endorsed in your name and the said payment will be made out to you via the Category "E" payment center, Nigeria. To commence with this payment, we have resolved to make the process very easy for all the beneficiaries and have appointed well-established legal representatives to assist and guide you through the short process to avoid any individual misinforming you. We have endorsed Mrs. Patricia Smith Esq. as your legal representative and attorney; she has been handed over all your payment paperwork.

Mercedes Benz or the Royal Bank SCAM Mr. Alrick Kelvin + 44 702 408 5472

I think they lost track of the scam... I sent one reply back to the, because it seemed fun, and I got two replies, identical except for the contact name(s),  and one says Royal Bank of Scotland and one says Mercedes Benz Prize, but both are hotmail.com accounts.  I am keeping one going for fun, but will post this one for now and the other with full emails once done.  

Seems based on others, they want about $400 USD to be wired overseas and then the money can be transferred, but that is only rumor for now. 

Once again IF FOR NO OTHER REASON to know this is a SCAM I can 100% promise you at no time would Mercedes Benz or the Royal Bank us a HOTMAIL account for legitimate business.

Craigslist Scam maroon Bishop HYbBishopmaroon@hotmail.com

Interesting scam... as I don't have any add on Craigslist.  However if I did, I doubt it would be for a "friend" as we all know Craigslist is the best place to find love.. well maybe a Crackhouse would be better, but that is just me.  

I am sure someone named Maroon will need some Money to make all your dreams come true.
