McDonald's Survey Scam

Received a couple of these today, they did a good job, well at least a fair job.  The graphics were nice and clean, the logos were McDonalds, you felt like you were going to a McDonald’s site, so that was good. 

 

The conflicts are clear…

 

1)      Said you will get $250 USD for participating by answering 5 questions.  No one is going to give you $50 per question for ticking a box.

2)      When you got to the questions you can bypass the page w/o answering, as they don’t care about answering.

3)      The final page said you will get 150 (British Pounds), why did we convert and not well for that matter.

 

Now the fun stuff.

 

They want your Credit Card number, the CCV, your Name, Address, Social and your mother’s Maiden Name.  Hmmm…   All for Verification purposes.   I really hope no one is short sighted enough to fall for this rather obvious scam.

SCAM > Harry Ego > Fwd: Private Notice Pls.Read.

Harry does have an EGO if he thinks people will fall for such a blatant Nigerian Scam.  Really even saying you are from Nigeria in a email is enough reason to ignore and mark it as spam.  Plus why is Mr. Ego in China?

Just because the emailer can send you a link to an authentic story does not make the email real.  I can link to Obama wins election, that does not mean I am representing Obama.

We want you to assist us receive the sum of Ten Million, Six Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars (US$10.6m) cash in your country, which we have arranged to move out of here to a save place where we can have access to it and invest the money, the fund is currently at a security company. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to the ministry and the bill was approved for payment by the concerned ministries and was dully paid.

The contract was executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the contract. Now, we are left with the balance of US$10.6m as the over invoiced amount, which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use.
Please note that the law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign accounts hence this contact (that is why I contacted you).We have agreed to share the money in the following percentages: 30 percent for you, 60 percent for us 10 percent for re-imbursement of expenses we may incure during the shipment of the fund to you in your country. Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk (100% risk free)hence the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to our ministry.

Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate with us and your readiness to receive this fund from us and keep it save till we come to your country and share it, you are then required to send to me immediately the below information for security reasons and onward action towards this business deal. As soon as I receive this required information, I will process the transaction and direct the security company to immediately ship the fund to you. But before that, you have to assure me that you are not going to disappear with the money when it is successfully delivered to you in your country.

1) Your full contact address where this fund will be delivered to you.
2) Your private telephone numbers.
3) Nationality
4) Occupation
5) Age/Sex

My partner and I will come over to your country to arrange for our own share and possibly invest part of the money in a lucrative business in your country, this is as soon as the fund is successfully shipped to you and you receive it in your country.

Let honesty, trust and integrity be our watchword throughout this transaction. Your prompt

Work at home Scam on top of a scam

Hate this scam, what makes it worse is a site that looks like a real news site making it seem very legit. This type of scam lures people into a false sense of security and the ability to make easy money at home with a small investment and a little time.

If this biz is legit, why use an AOL address, well I can answer why AOL, but we all know it is not legit.  A company would not use the name brianheather1, so they phished and stole this account from the owner, and not using it to scam people.  AOL should pay more attention to this issue, however we all know AOL is not the internet powerhouse it once was.   They are also using brianheather001@aol.com.

nice try, but not very good. Why would this work? If you never sent any
money to Nigeria via Western Union then the scam fails. If you did sent

that have sent money through Western Union to Nigeria and this proves that
you have truly been swindled by those unscrupulous persons by sending money
to them through Western Union/MoneyGram in the course of getting one fund or
the other that is not real, right now we are working hand in hand with
Western Union to track every fraudsters down, do not respond to their
e-mails, letters and phone calls any longer as they are scammers and you
should be very careful to avoid being a victim to fraudsters any longer
because they have nothing to offer you but to rip-off what you have worked
earnestly hard to earn.

In this regard a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and as a consequence of our
investigations it was agreed that the sum of sixty thousand US Dollars
(US$60,000.00) should be transferred to you out of the funds that Federal
Government of Nigeria has set aside as a compensation to everyone who have
by one way or the other sent money to fraudsters in Nigeria.

***Please note that we will no longer be liable for any loss, cost or
expense whatsoever, suffered or incurred by You in connection with the

Surprised as you don't see many scams coming from AOL emails anymore, so someone must have hijacked someones account and is using it for now.  I am sure it is short lived, but in the meantime they can use this scam to get your information, charge any starter fees, and/or send you items they purchase with a stolen card for you to send on to other people before you get arrested for credit card fraud or postal fraud.  Either way, you lose, they win.

I'm 77 years old woman without a child to inherit my fortunes due to UTERINE FIBROID TUMORS CANCER which deprived me pregnant. Just few weeks ago my doctor revealed to me that due to my UTERINE FIBROID TUMORS CANCER, I have some few periods to live but he will try more effort to my health condition and said both of us will be going back to United Kingdom for my urgent surgery operation in the next few days. Though I have gave out most of my properties to relatives and my well wishers around me but as much pressure mounted on my health condition, I can't figure out what will happen to me during the surgery that is why I decided to contact you to donate my fortune to the churches, schools and less privileges in your area. The amount in question is UK£1,485,743.00 British pounds and below is how the funds are going to be use.   1)     UK£400,000.00 British pounds should be for you and your family 2)      UK£85,743.00.00 British pounds should be giving to my aid girl  3)   UK£1,000,000.00 British pounds should be sharing to the churches, schools and less privilege in your area.   The attached files are the fund deposit receipt and my international passport copy for proof of identification and would like to see your own photo to know whom I'm dealing with.  I look forward to hearing from you Ms Margareta Cacilia Kutsch

My Dear Friend,

I am happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred
under the co-operation of a new partner from United Kingdom. Although you might
find it difficult to remember me, since it has indeed been quite a long time.

However, I am much elated and privileged to contact you again after this long
time. While it takes faith and courage to remember old friends and at the same
time, to show gratitude to them in-spite of circumstances that may have
disrupted our transaction ultimately not to work out as we projected.

Nevertheless, I take this liberty to inform you that the transaction we were
pursuing then together, finally worked out by the infinite mercy of GOD Almighty

FBI REMITTANCE DEPT.....INVESTIGATION REPORT - SCAM

Wow, this takes real guts, pretending to be an FBI agent! This can get you in serious hot water, and I hope it does. What a risk the scammer is taking pretending to be from the FBI. It is one thing to pretend to be a Nigerian Prince, but another to screw with the US Federal Government.

To:

This is my third time of sending you an e-mail without any reply, I told you about a deal on an investment account total 10.5million USD belonging to my late client Alfred who shares the same last name with you.

My proposal to you is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. On verification, which will be the details I make available to Bank holding the funds, my company through our lawyer will instruct the bank to make payments to you. You do not have to have known him. I know this sounds a bit heavy and complex but believe and trust me as it is achievable. For your assistance, I propose we split the funds in half and share it equally. This practice is not unusual in the banking sector here in the UK. The other option is that the funds will revert back to the state, where it may be shared by State officials.

Nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private investment clients, We should act swiftly on this if you are in agreement and please get back to me immediately, I am contacting you independently and no one is informed of this communication.

Please do keep this confidential, I await your prompt response to my private email.

Best Regards,
Joseph Byerly.

Mrs. Farida Waziri : ATTENTION:...READ CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO US. >>SCAM<<

Would you not know if you were dealing with someone for a long long time? How could this work, do they assume you just “forgot” or think they made a mistake and now you are the lucky one to get all the money. Not a good try for a scam, not even good logic. Plus I really don’t know what a “scrambler” is, I would guess it is the cook behind the counter at Denny’s making all those eggs?

Why are government officials in Nigeria of all places using an email from China mrs.waziri@w.cn ? Also who is that woman at the bottom of the page (hoping the photo comes through)… what kind of pose is that? Not an official government ID pose, but more of, “I can’t believe they got my order wrong again!” pose.

Just sad from the start. My new years resolution is for more interesting scams, these old ones are just too sad and repetitive. Looking for some creativity.

ATTENTION:

How are you and the family, we got your email notification about your dealings with some kind of scramblers which you are not suppose to deal with at all regarding your transfer, you have been dealing with this people for a long time while they are not in position to pay you your fund, this people have extracted a lot of money from you and at the end you get nothing

I am being appointed to this post by my Fellow Nigerians, just to fetch out all this criminals that are deceiving foreigners about their existing funds to obtain money from them with genuine reasons about their transfer of funds.

However, it may interest you to know that the people you have been dealing with are not even in the banking system, but because they are aware of your existing amount, they are now using It to deal with you, I advise that you stop every further contact if you are still receiving any email or telephone calls from them, because dealing with them will not help this office to investigate or transfer your funds to you by the appropriate office, you should stop every further contact with this people because you won't get anything in return because they are pretenders so for your own good you are adviced to stop and concentrate to the office that we are going to initiate for the payment of your fund as it is ready to be wired, and for your own interest I advise that you respond to this email as soon as you get it so that we can proceed immediately without any further delay.

Furthermore, I also want you to understand that you have not been dealing with the right office as they will only deceive you because they can't pay you anything, and the statement you made saying you won't spend money is amateurish because a transaction of this magnitude will take some little expenditure which you are responsible as the rightful beneficiary,

So in that case I want you to know that you will spend but it will not inconvenient you at all immediately you reply to this message I shall quickly go to the FMF (Federal Ministry Of Finance) to obtain your BENEFICIARY CERTIFICATE which you are responsible to pay for as the rightful beneficiary of your funds, before we proceed in contacting the paying bank to complete the transfer of your funds which will not take more than 72 hours.

I am Mr. Adekunle Elvis. a computer scientist working with central bank of Nigeria. I just started work with C.B.N. and I came across your file which was marked X and your released disk painted RED, I took time to study it and found out that you have paid VIRTUALLY all fees and but the fund was not released to you. The most annoying thing is that they won't tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you, instead they allow you spend money unnecessarily, I do not intend to work here all the days of my life, I can release this fund to you if you can certify me of my security. I needed to do this because you need to know the statues of your Funds and cause for the delay, Please this is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria, you may not understand it because you are not a Nigerian. The only thing needed to release this fund is the Anti drug/terrorist clearance certificate which will be tendered to any of your nominated bank and the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) for clearance of the transferred amount in your account. Once the Anti drug /terrorist clearance certificate is obtained funds will immediately reflect in your bank within 10 Minutes, the certificate is all that is needed to complete this transaction. Note that the actual funds are valued at $15.5 MILLION USD and the president made a compensation fund release for all unpaid beneficiary valued at $10 million usd.
