Elsie Ward (mystery scam message)

Posted on by

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

Some scammers send long elaborate messages, and some send short and mysterious messages — what I call “mystery scam” messages. The purpose of these short messages is to pique your curiosity so you will respond, and then once the scammer has you on the hook, he’ll spin out some elaborate story, all designed in the end to pick your pocket. The two-line message below is a good example of one of these “mystery scam” messages.

The message below is a typical example of a “war zone scam.” The scammer claims to be a soldier in a war zone somewhere in the world, and he has found a stash of money, or a box of gold, or a hoard of diamonds, maybe abandoned by the previous dictator of the country. If you’ll just help the soldier get the money out of the country, you can have a cut, he says (like every other advance-fee fraudster). In fact, there is no cash and no real soldier: there’s just a scammer trying to pick your pocket.

This is a typical charity scam message, supposed sent from an international lawyer’s office (a common scammer strategy). In reality, it was probably sent from a cheap Internet cafe in a third world country — there is no charity and no lawyer. There’s just a scammer trying to pick your pocket.

This is an example of a typical charity scam message. The scammer pretends to be offering you a charitable donation, but like all other advance fee fraudsters, she’s really just trying to pick your pocket.
