Coca Cola Lottery Scam (Mr. James Curtise)

Posted on by

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

The message below (shown in yellow) is a standard lottery scam message. The scammer sends this message to thousands of people randomly, hoping to get someone to reply. If they do, the scammer tries to get them to give out personal information (bank account number, private phone, etc.), and then uses that information to steal from you. Remember the number one rule about lotteries: if you didn’t enter, you didn’t win.

Re-profiling Funds (Scam Warning)

Posted on by

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

This is a typical bank scam message — in this case claiming to come from Taiwan — and it asks for your help in “re-profiling” certain funds. Sounds like a sophisticated business maneuver. Unfortunately the message is from a scammer, not a bank, and the only thing to be “re-profiled” is your wallet, by transferring its contents into the scammer’s pocket.

Alwash Ahmad from Lybia (scam alert)

Posted on by

This is a typical example of a “business investment” scam. (See more examples of business investment scam messages.) Someone who says his name is Alwash Ahmad wants to know if you can handle a multi-million dollar contract from Libya. But honestly: are you a big business person who routinely makes deals with foreign countries? No? Then why on earth would “Alwash Ahmad” be writing to you?

Bismillahi’l-Rahmani’l-Rahim.

Hello,

My Inquiry is from Libya.

Kindly advise if your company has the license or capability to execute a multi million contract supply project for the Government of Libya. kindly furnish me your response. Thank you and treat very urgent.

Looking forward to an early response.

Alwash Ahmad

In truth, “Alwash” is writing to you because he’s a scammer trying to pick your pocket. If you answer him, he’ll spin an elaborate story about how he can cut you in on a percentage of the profits from his great business deal. But the catch is, you’ll have to put some advance money up front. And then once he’s got your advance fee, he’ll disappear, never to be heard from again.

Mrs. Lineo Simmons (mystery scam)

Posted on by

This is an example of what I call a mystery scam. Instead of a long and elaborate story about deposed dictators and rich orphans, “Mrs. Lineo Simmons” just wants to get you on her hook.

(See more examples of mystery scams.)

Like a telemarketer who leaves a message on your phone saying, “I’ve got a deal for you, give me a call,” Mrs. Simmons figures if she can just get you to reply she’ll be able to manipulate you into doing what she wants.

Please I require your honesty for charity purpose and will explain more on your reply. Thanks. Mrs. Lineo Simmons

If you do make the mistake of replying, she’ll probably spin you a story about how she is a dying widow who needs to dispose of her fortune — and if you’ll just cough up an advance fee, you can have a percentage. Too bad it’s all a scam.

Tsai-Yuan Lin, Taiwan Business Bank (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

Tempted? If so, ask yourself why a Director of Operations at a bank in Taiwan would really be writing to someone like you. This is in fact a standard advance fee fraud message, using the name of a real bank and apparently the name of a real person.

The actual Mr. Lin has nothing to do with this of course; his name has just been used by the scammers as a way to make the message look legitimate. Note that all the email addresses used are free yahoo.com addresses that anyone can set up — I could sign up as mr_barack_obama@yahoo.com.hk and send you a message saying I was President of the United States.

Barrister Morgan Freeman (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

The message below is a standard advance fee “419” scam, inviting you to assist in the transfer of secret funds, if only you’ll provide an advance fee to grease the transaction. But hey, you’ll be a millionaire soon, so what’s a few thousand, right? Note how the “from” and “reply-to” addresses differ — that’s a common feature of scam messages.
