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.

SCAM -- Find new work - id \ 1288013790...

Job Scam, They will move money with fake or stolen credit cards, or extract money from stolen bank accounts. Send you checks and/or money order and/or cash and ask you to keep some and forward the rest onto other people and/or companies.

Several bad things will happen or could happen, at least one of these will happen.

1. Your bank will tell you that the deposits are fake, and you will now be responsible for all the money you withdrew and sent onward.

2. The police or federal agents will come break down the door and arrest you for wire fraud, and you will have your assets frozen and big lawyer fees, if and when you get bonded out of jail.

Avoid these scams.

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.

Cote d'Ivoire Bank / Mohammad Dafo Scam

Basic Nigerian Scam , nothing to see here folks, just a basic scam to get you wire money for taxes, bribes or other crapola.

URGENT AND PRIVATE

My name is Mr.Mohammad Dafo, I work in one of the prime banks in Cote d'Ivoire. I am contacting you for as assistance in regards to a business transfer of a large sum of money from a dormant account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.

I am the personal accounts manager to a late Foreign customers of ours who used to run an oil servicing company here in Ivory Coast (Côte d Ivoire). He was involved in the ill fated Kenya Airways crash in the coasts of Abidjan in January 2000 in which all passengers on board died.Of particular interest is this huge deposit with our bank made by the deceased valued at about Thirteen million, Five hundred thousand US
dollars (US$13,500,000.00)

Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but has been unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the internet to see if I could locate any member of his family, hence I contacted you. Recently a probate order has been issued and as such if nobody comes for the claim of the deposit by the first quarter of this year, the account will be declared unserviceable and the funds called
to the government treasury.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of the relatives for over last 6 years now, I will seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account be released and transferred into your account, then you and I will share the money. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us to see this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following information as listed below which will enable me work on the account file so you can now apply for the release of the funds as the next of kin.

1. Your full name
2. Postal address
3. Date of birth
4. Telephone and fax numbers

Any other details will follow at the receipt of your response.

Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation. Please reply to my private Email: (mohammad_dafo1@yahoo.com)

Yours

Mr.Mohammad Dafo

Paulson Eric Nigerian Bank Fraud / email Scam

Another scam asking us for money $125 so they can send me my share of $1.5m. What a deal (NOT).

Return-path:

Hello once Again

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $1.5m United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since for a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and Dr. Wilson the Director of Africa Development Bank told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire also many Foreign banks are reluctant to honor Bank Draft usually come from Africa,so he decided that it would be better that he convert the Bank Draft into cash and packaged your funds of USD1.5 Million in form of Personal Diplomatic Package and send it to you via special diplomatic means and you will receive your funds in your Country. So I told him to cash the $1.5m USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this funds since Foreign banks are reluctant to honor Bank Draft that comes from Africa as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till ending of September 2008.

What you have to do now is to contact R. M. Wanlida Courier Company 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.


The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your Package direct to your postal Address in your country is ($125.00 US) One Hundred & Five United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far, 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 are advice to contact R. M. Wanlida Courier Company now for the delivery of your fund with your deposie SECURITY CODE SCTC/2001DHX/567/;

Directors Name: Dr. Thompson Kuruma
Company Name: R. M. Wanlida Courier Company
Email Address: ( rmwanlidacourier@voila.fr )
Tel: +233 248 881 564


You Are To Forward The Following Informations To Them;

1. YOUR FULL NAME:
2. YOUR HOME OR COMPANY ADDRESS:
3. YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER:

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail on this email ( rmwanlidacourier@voila.fr ) to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $125.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.

Note this. The Courier Company doesn't know the contents of the Package. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not know the contents were money. This is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don't let them know that box contents money ok.

Thanks and God bless you and your family.

NATWEST BANK PLC email scam / fraud

Welcome to bad math

60% they keep
30% we keep
10% goes to expense
Balance for charity (balance?)

Why does the chief of a bank need to contact me, and why do they need to use rya-online.net to send their email and Yahoo in Hong Hong to receive email.

Plus what kind of first name is WILLAMS

How do people fall for such a transparent scam?

Avoid

Dear Friend,

Please accept my sincere apologizes if my email does not meet your business or personal ethics. I will first introduce myself as MR. BEN DESMOND COLE, the Chief Auditor with NATWEST BANK PLC, LONDON-UK. One of our accounts, with holding balance of £12.5 (Twelve Million Five Hundred thousand pounds Sterling) has been dormant and last operated for years ago. From my investigations, the owner of the said account, Is a foreigner by name MR. JOHN SHUMEJDA who died along with his entire family in crash at Birmingham Airport on 4th Jan, 2002. View this website for verification: (removed)


Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the funds; I have confidently discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with.

My proposition to you, is to seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin and beneficiary of this late client, So that the proceeds of this account valued a huge sum shall be paid to you, and then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage of 30% for you, While 60% for me and others involved, 10% shall be used for miscellaneous expenses while the remainder shall be given to a reputable charity home because the money is owned by a deceased person.

This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act, funds will be released to you after necessary processes have been followed. Let me hear from you as soon as you get this message, so we can proceed. Reply through my private email address.

Nigerian Scam from Nana Mensah

Very typical Nigerian Scam, easy to avoid by remembering that no one is contacting you by email, phone or smoke signals or any other method to give you 30% of millions of dollars they are hiding in an account.

---------------------

From:Nana Mensah.
The Manager Standard Chartered Bank,
First Light Branch
Accra Ghana.

Attn:

I got your contact during my search for a reliable, honest and a
trustworthy person to entrust this huge transfer project with.
My name is Mr.Nana Mensah. I am the manager of the Standard Chartered
Bank, First Light Branch, Accra Ghana . I am a Ghanaian, married with
two kids.


I am writing to solicit for your assistance in the transfer of funds
valued at $5,620,000.00 (five million six hundred and twenty thousand
United States Dollars.)

This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the Manager
made as profit during the last annual audition. I have already
submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2007 to my
head office in Accra here and they will never know of this excess. I
have since then, placed this amount of value $5,620,000.00 USD in a
suspense escrow account without a beneficiary.

As an officer of the bank, I cannot directly be connected to this
money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive
this Money into your bank account. I intend to part 30% of this fund
to you as compensation while 70% shall be for me. I do stress that
there are practically no risk involved in this. It is going to be a
bank- to -bank transfer. All I need from is to stand as the original
depositor of the fund.


If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response.

Yours Sincerely,
Nana Mensah.
