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.

Greetings,

I have been waiting for you since to contact
me for your Confirm able Bank Draft of

i promised you,but I did not hear from
you since that time. Then I went and
deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER
SERVICE, West Africa, I will travel out
of thecountry for a Month Course and
I will not come back till end of March.

What you have to do now is to contact
the FED EX COURIER SERVICE as soon as
possible to know when they will deliver
your package to you because of the
expiring date.For your information,
I have paid for the delivering Charge,
Insurance premium and Clearance
Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing
that it is not a Drug Money or meant
to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.

The only money you will send to the
FED EX COURIER SERVICE to delivery your
Draft direct to your postal Address in
your country is ($450.00US)Dollars
only being Security Keeping Fee of
the Courier Company so far.Again,don't be
deceived by anybody to pay any other
money except $450.00US Dollars.I would have
paid that but they said no because they
don't know when you will contact them
and in case of demurrage.You have to
contact the FED EX COURIER SERVICE now
