Alexander Dryano (scam warning)

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

This is a Russian version of the good old business investment scam. A Russian millionaire’s assistant wants your help to invest millions of dollars in your country. And of course you will get a percentage. If it were true, it might be nice, but of course the person sending the message isn’t a millionaire’s assistant — he’s just a scammer trying to pick your pocket.

Bangkok Bank Funds Transfer

Posted on by

Wouldn’t it be nice to receive ten million dollars? Scammers know it would, so they figure if they can convince you that there’s money waiting for you, that will make it easier for them to pick your pocket.

This is a standard advance fee fraud message that promises you a fortune, if only you’ll agree to the terms of the transfer. (Read more about how advance fee frauds work.) In fact, if you reply to the scammer, you’ll discover that you have to send a “transfer fee” or “bank tax,” and then the scammer will disappear and your non-existent fortune will vanish.

Posted on by

Who wouldn’t want to help an orphan — especially a wealthy orphan who would like to share a fortune with you! Rich orphan scams are one of the classic types of advance fee fraud. They are the children of deposed dictators, or millionaire businessmen who died in plane crashes, and somehow they got your name and need your help. “Kelly Motanga” is the latest example:

This mail may come to you as a surprise base on the fact that we have not met. Please I need your help my name is KELLY MOTANGA am 26 years of age the son of a late minister during the reign of President Mobutu SeseSeko in Democratic Republic of Congo I decide to contact you because I believe you are a reputable person and I felt you can help us over this confidential matter.

My father was killed during the rebel attack and our house was burnt down We manage to escape to IRELAND with my mum and kid sister where we are now taking refuge.

Before the death of my father he deposited 20 MILLION DOLLARS with a Security Company in Ghana. When my late father heard of the plot to kill him, he instructed the Security Company in Ghana to move the boxes containing the Money to OVERSEA by diplomatic Courier Service.

But unfortunately my Father could not escape out of CONGO he was eventually killed, though he could not claim the Boxes before his untimely death. The boxes is presently in Under the care of the Diplomat that moved it to OVERSEA is in the care of the diplomatic shipping company that take it to OVERSEA but the Diplomat or the Customs don’t know that it is Money that is in the Boxes.

My late father partner that we contact to help us receive the consignments is acting very greedy and we do not trust him anymore so my mum put a stop to the delivery of the consignments to him. Please we need you to help us receive the consignments in your custody.

More so, We need you to help us invest this money in a lucrative business your country and take us as one family and you will also buy a house for us over there where we can live safely. We are prepared to compensate you with 20% of the money for your assistance.

Please I am counting on your integrity and honesty to be able to handle this business transaction. I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,
Kelly Motanga.

Unfortunately, if you reply, “Kelly” will string you along with a million stories until you’re the one sending the money, and then “Kelly” will disappear, never to be heard from again.

Irish National Lottery Promo (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

In the old days (a few years ago) lottery scam messages used to be very long and detailed. Some scammers seem to have now discovered that short messages work just as well—after all, the point is just to get you on the hook, and the phony details can be supplied later.

Mania Kalon’s Huge Deposit

Posted on by

This is a standard advance fee fraud message, with a delightful name (Mania Kalon). It claims a large amount of money is on deposit with a “security company” — a common scammer claim — but of course there is no money and no security company. It’s all a calculated lie to get you on the hook so the scammer can begin extracting money from you.

Hello Dear.

I am interested in your partnership in business dealing and I do not wish to take your time with a lenghty mail. I have a huge amount of money being deposited in a security company which I don’t want to disclose the exact amount for security reasons until you determined to transact with me and inform me of your willingness for further proceedure and explainational directives.

Sincerely Yours,

Mania Kalon.
