Craigslist iPad Scam / re: Craig Newmark

Can't go into much detail now, I am in between class at LBCC and am astounded at this SCAM email I got pretending to be from the Founder, wait, the Original Founder of Craigslist.

It is not really a Money Scam, it is a sign up and go through 10K hoops and buy 10-dozen things and sign up 100 people to win an iPad scam. This (person) is trying to get you sign up on using their code so HE will get an iPad.

Al-Hawshabi Karim 419 Nigerian Scam New 11/19/2009 hawshabi269@yahoo.co.jp

419 Nigerian Scam, New 11/17/2009
They want you to send email reply to hawshabi269@yahoo.co.jp, but the email comes from k_mekp@yahoo.com.hk. This is a very common Nigerian Scam, please avoid these at all cost.

Hello Dear

My names are Al-Hawshabi Karim , A Yemen national I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends .

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia.

Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Eighteen Million dollars($18,000,000,00) that I have with a Finance House Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity organizations.

N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT you will take out 20% of this funds for your effort and time. I await your urgent response

Regards,

Mr Al-Hawshabi Karim

Common scam... the recipient will be asked to contact the head of the committee (comittee sic) and eventually asked to send money to cover fees or taxes before receiving your funds. Of course you will need to wire transfer the funds, and you will never see the funds again, nor the prize. In order to make these scams sound more real, the scammer will use real news reports, and links to real sites/companies or events. Avoid all prizes / wins that come via email, they are all scams.

Upon Maturity of the deposit, the fund was confined to a dormant status where upon we made this discovery, and further inquiries by me revealed that no next of kin was stated in his file with our bank.

It is standard practice that after the expiration of a specified period, the funds will be declared as an "unclaimed asset resource" and the account closed. My contacting you is to allow your particulars to be forwarded to this institution as the family member or next of Kin to our deceased customer for the purpose of benefiting the content of the account.

Mrs joy michael
Avu 7 Rue 14 zone 3
Abidjan Cote D'ivoire
West Aferica.

My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.I am Mrs.joy michael from South Africa.I am married to Archdeacon michael, whom untill his death served as an archdeacon in the St.Michael's archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2006. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6.5.Million under suspense account in one of the famous bank here in Abidjan capital of Cote d'Ivoire for safe keeping.

Presently,my Doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Haven known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages,helping the widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that givethEI took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peaceE I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Due to present condition of my health,I was warned by my doctor to avoid receiving or making any call.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,

Senator Ahmed Bello Petroleum Technology Development Internet Email Fraud

Hurts too much to read this email!
Return-path:

-------

Date:15/4/2009

Dear Sir,

My name is Senator. Ahmed Bello, chairman ad-hoc committee for the investigation of gross mis-application, mis-appropriation and embezzlement of Petroleum Technology Development funds (PTDF) created for the financing of contracts and other projects. After six months of thorough investigations our findings were perfect, painstaking and sustained.Between 2001-06 various contracts were awarded to both foreign and local contractors, duly approved by the presidency.

Our committee found as fact that: 1. On July 16, 2003, the sum of USDA500million was placed by the PTDF with Trans Atlantic Bank(TIB).2. On December 24, 2004, the sum of USDA70 million was placed by the PTDF with the African Development Bank(ADB).3. On October 20, 2007 TIB advanced a loan of USDA400million to NDTV, a business concern promoted by a local businessman, Otunba Fasawe.4. On October 22, 2003, TIB again advanced a loan of USDA96.8million to Mofas shipping company, another business concern promoted by Otunba Fasawe.5. On October 23, 2003, TIB advanced a loan of USDA330 million to Transvari services limited, a business concern promoted by an American, Johnson Hilton .

These funds were grossly mis-applicated and mis-appropriated by a top Government officials in the presidency(names with-held for security reasons) and his collaborators of which Otunba Fasawe happens to be one of them.

Though some contractors were paid for contracts executed from the USDA500 million placed in the TIB, while some are yet to be paid. The USDA250 million placed in the ADB, accrued to no contractor, but simply kept so that it could end up in the private pockets of this top Government officials and his collaborators whom are all under our investigation and they all denied the knowledge of this funds.

Viewing this as a time of opportunity, i and two members of the committee have decided to keep the knowledge and existence of this funds to ourselves, but have revealed it to you based on the premise that you will keep it to yourself and not reveal it to someone else in order not to scuttle our careful scheming and planning thus far.

With the powers conferred on this committee, we have decided with your consent to forward your names through official protocol to the ADB as the rightful beneficiary to this funds(USDA250million) upon which it shall be transferred to your bank account abroad. At this juncture i seek your honest and sincere co-operation before i forward your names to the bank by you providing the following as contained below:

1. Your full names,2. Nationality,3. Home address,4. Telephone number,5. Date of birth,6. Profession. If eventually we succeed in getting this funds transferred to your bank account, we shall be traveling down to your country to pick our own share of the funds and proceed to preferred destinations abroad.

Be informed, top most secrecy must be observed through out this transaction for security reasons.

The agreed sharing ratio goes thus 70% for me and my colleagues, 25% for you and 5% for expenses incurred during the course of this transaction. Note that all risk involvement were carefully taken care of before contacting you and only your matured co-operation and honesty will help us to attain our set objective, i can also be contacted through my email.

I anticipate your earnest response.

Yours faithfully,

Senator.Ahmed Bello

Mrs. Glory Frankline Internet Nigerian Money Scam

Christians, God, Bible Belt, Tug at Heart Strings = Good Scam, especially for older people.

=============

Dearest In The Lord:


I am Mrs. Glory Frankline from Iran. I married
to late Dr. Joshua Frankline who worked with Iran
embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2004.We were married for eleven years with
out a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted
for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
against. When my late husban was alive he deposited a
box containing the sum of five Million two hundred thausand Dollars in one
of the security company here in Abidjan.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct herein.

I want a church or Individual that will use this fund
for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God
and to endeavor the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the
hand that giveth". I took this decision because I
don't have any child that will inherit this money and
my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't
want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where this money will be used
in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this
decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where
I am going.. I know that I am going to be in the bosom
of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will
fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I don't need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health hence the presence of my
husband's relatives around me always. I don't want
them to know about this development.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive
your reply I shall give you the contact of the
security company. I will also issue you an
authorisation letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and the church to always pray for me
because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that
I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that
Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and
Truth.

Please always continue your prayers upon me.Contact
me on this email address any delay in your reply will
give me room in sourcing another church for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your
reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Glory Frankline.

Less Privilege and Homeles (sic) Sr. Francisco De Manuel Mateus email fraud

Reply goes to: Sr. Francisco De Manuel Mateus francisco2ff@gmail.com, they ask to email to franciscoff2@gmail.com (close but different) and email comes from justin@fnbs.net.my.

====================

Hello, Please contact me through my private e-mail ( franciscoff2@gmail.com )

My Name is Sr. Francisco De Manuel Mateus, I am from Portugal I have been diagnosed with cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous,I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.I Would want to have a Personal and Trustworthy Relationship with you, as I intend and willing to empower the change of ownership for the transfer of my Deposits to your personal possession for further Investment and Charity Disbursement to the Less Privilege and Homeles write me via my mail: franciscoff2@gmail.com

I will send you the photos of me and my very hopeless and selfish family members, including my wife, who I learnt is getting married to my personal friend and attorney, Thank you for your due consideration. God be with you.You can reach me through my private email address at franciscoff2@gmail.com

Sr. Francisco De Manuel Mateus.
