Obama Debt Repayment Scam

Posted on by

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

“Dr. Mark Duru” of the Nigerian Senate has been persuaded by Barack Obama to pay you the money you are owed. Isn’t that great? Too bad it’s a scam. Neither Obama nor the Nigerian Senate have anything to do with this, of course, and the whole story is fake. The scammer just wants to make contact with you so he can fill your head with visions of riches, and pick your pocket while doing so.

The scammers must have fun coming up with some of these schemes. This is a classic version of the scam that offers to compensate you for previous scams. Since everyone gets phony emails these days, what better trick to use than to fraudulently offer restitution for all the harm that scammers have done to you. You’re fed up with all those scammers, aren’t you! The scammers know you are, and so here they try to trick you again by taking it to the next level.

ACORN FOUNDATION

Sometimes you get a message that looks like a scam, but the situation it describes sounds downright plausible. Hmm, could this one be real?

My dear one,

How are you today? Hope all is well with you and your family. I must apologize for contacting you in this manner, as we have not met personally.

I am Barack OBAMA, the President of the united States of America (USA). I got your name by searching the internet for a reliable partner who would share my dream to help the poor children of the world.

Since a child growing up in the ghetto of Chicago. I have wanted to help poor children. With the assistance of the minister of my church, we started a charitable foundation called ACORN (Assisting Children of Revolutionary Nations). My plan was to follow in the foot steps of distinguished American presidents like Bill Clinton who created the Clinton Foundation to encourage charitable work around the whole globe.

Our ACORN foundation has accumulated many millions of dollars through donations from union workers and generous American employees. We have already begun bringing poor girls from latin America to take on jobs in the US service industries. And this is just our beginning.

But my political enemies are seeking to destroy my accomplishments and i need your help. The Republican party have launched a campaign of lies and violence to recall our funds. Because of their attacks, we have had to take our ACORN money and place it in a trunk box with a private security company located in Los Angeles, California. The security company does not know the content, as it is described as expired ballot papers.

I would need you to pick up this box and keep care of it until my retirement in 2016. My associate Mr Rathke will give you the secret key and the location of the box if you will help us. I assure you this transaction is 100% hitch free and fully legal. My political rivals do not know you and you will be safe.

For your assistance I would appoint you as Eminent Second Vice President of the ACORN Foundation, with an annual salary of $250,000 (two hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars), payable for ten years. You will be entrusted to use this money as you see fit for the social upliftment of the children of the world.

Please contact me by private email only (elpresidente@acorn.ve). Because we both fear god I know I can depend on you to keep this between us and no one else. When I have your assurance, I will send Mr Rathke to contact you with the details.

For the children,

(Mr.) Barack OBAMA
The ACORN Foundation

Obama’s Foundation (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

Email fraudsters commonly use the names of people in the news, and the election of Barack Obama naturally led to a flurry of scams claiming to be connected with him in some way. In this example “Obama’s Foundation” wants to offer you a refund for having been a scam victim in the past — an example of the reverse-psychology approach that many scammers follow.

But why do you suppose a foundation associated with the United States president would have a return email address in China?
