Capt. Dennis Hall (scam warning)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is an example of the soldier-who-needs-your-help scam, a type of scam message that isn’t very common but does turn up from time to time. The scammer usually poses as a soldier in a war zone who has discovered a fortune in stolen money or valuables, and needs your help to get it safely home. You’re a patriotic citizen, so of course you’ll help! Unfortunately, the person sending the message is a scammer, not a soldier, and he’s just trying to pick your pocket.

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is an example of a “mystery scam” message that claims to come from a bank official in Israel. But why would an Israeli bank official be writing to you? In reality, “Ella Golan” is just a name being used by a scammer who is trying to pick your pocket.

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is a typical example of a charity scam message that claims to have a fortune ready to deliver to you. If you make the mistake of replying, you will find that it’s just a new version of the good old advance-fee fraud.

Mark Damion, Western Union (scam alert)

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is an example of a scam message claiming to come from Western Union. The scammer says that money has been sent to you — by why? And from whom? In reality, there is no money, and nothing has been sent. The only thing going on is a scammer trying to pick your pocket.

United Nations Charity Foundation (scam warning)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is an example of a charity scam message, very similar to the lottery scam messages that also circulate online. In this example, a charity you’ve probably never heard of has awarded you a fortune. What could be better? Unfortunately, “Jurgen Aschhoff” is just a name being used by a scammer to try to pick your pocket — don’t fall into the trap.

Ms Nimasha Rajitha (scam alert)

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This scam message is amusing because the message body is actually blank, and the whole text is included in the subject line. Although its format is unusual, this is in reality just another example of the good old widow-dying-of-cancer scam:

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is a typical business-investment/loan-offer scam message. (Read more about how advance-fee scams of this kind work.) If you make the mistake of replying, the scammer will string you along until you send him an “advance fee” to start the (imaginary) loan going, and then he’ll disappear with your money, never to be heard from again.

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is an example of a typical advance fee fraud message. (Read more about how advance fee frauds work.) If you make the mistake of replying, the scammer who sent the message will do his best to transfer money from your pocket to his, since the fortune he says is available for you doesn’t exist.
