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.

Posted on by

There are lot of scams online, and the scammers know it, and they know you know it. So many scammers now try to hook people into “meta-scams.” They tell you that they know you’ve been scammed before, and investigators have checked into this. They have found that, yes, you were cheated out of your rightful money. Now (the scammer assures you) the Government of Nigeria (or wherever) is going to make good and your money will be delivered soon.

This example of a meta-scam has all the usual components: a United Nations investigation, an urgent plea for your help, and a need to reply right away:

The only fee you will pay to confirm your fund in your account is your Notarization fee which will cost you only but $350, 00 united state dollars, to the UN.

Sincerely, you are a lucky person because I have just discovered that some top Nigerian and British Government Officials are interested in your fund and they are working in collaboration with One Mr. Richard Graves from USA to frustrate you and thereafter divert your fund into their personal account.

Diplomat Agent James Duru (abandoned shipment scam)

Posted on by

One popular “hook” that scammers use to get you talking to them is to claim they have found an abandoned trunk full of money that has your name on it. Would you like this money delivered to you? (Who wouldn’t!) In reality, of course, there is no trunk full of money — there’s just a scammer trying to find a way to pick your pocket. The message below, which was probably sent to tens of thousands of random people this week, is a good example.

United Nations Helps (scam warning)

Posted on by

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

This is a classic example of a Nigerian “419” scam message. “David Smith” claims to be a representative of the United Nations and to have a large sum of money ready to be delivered to you.

Alas, there really is no money and no “David Smith” either — there is just a scammer trying to get you to take his bait so he can string you along and eventually pick your pocket.

Kevin Bryner, Abandoned Shipment (scam alert)

Posted on by

One common type of scam is the “abandoned shipment scam.” You get a message from someone who claims to represent a shipping company or airport, and that person says there is a package waiting for you. These scammers often use the names of real people, so in this case there may actually be a real “Kevin Bryner,” but of course that real person has nothing to do with the scam — his name has just been stolen by the scammer to make the message look legitimate.

Hello Good Friend

Your Abandoned Package For Delivery

I have very vital information to give to you, but first I must have your trust before I review it to you because it may cause me my job, so I need somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to you.

I am Mr. Kevin Bryner, Chief Inspection Agent – United Nations Inspection Unit at Harrisburg International Airport Pennsylvania, working hand in hand with Department of Homeland Security and U.S Customs and Border Protection. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from Africa and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a metal trunk box weighing approximately 25kg each. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as film materials to avoid diversion by the shipping agent and also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain about $7Million to $8Million each and the consignment is still left in the storage house till today, but as the year is coming to and end you most act fast. The consignment are two metal boxes with weight of about 25kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 110 LBS.).Approximately, the details of the consignment including your name and address, the official document from United Nation office are tagged on the Metal Trunk boxes.

Provide your name, phone number and full home address, to cross check if it corresponds with the name and address on the consignment including the name of nearest airport around your city and other details. You can send the required details to me by email for onward delivery. All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery if you assure me of sharing the content30% for me / 70% with you on my arrival to your house.

I want to transact this business with you and share the money, since the shipper has abandoned it and disappeared because of the fear of being arrested by the authorities. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this airport to your address by myself. But I will share it 30%/70% with you. Make sure Respond to me via my direct EMAIL: k_bryner01@yahoo.com

Below is my direct telephone number. Call me as soon as you receive this mail and send me all the requested information to my email and i assure you that this is legal and 100% risk free.

If you make the mistake of replying, you will be led though all the stages that advance fee fraudsters follow — delay, deceit, and bullying, until you cough up an “advance fee” to get the promised money released. And then once the scammer has your money in his pocket, he will disappear, never to be heard form again.

Janet Yellen (scam alert)

Posted on by

Email scammers routinely use the names of real people to make their scam messages sound legitimate. “Janet Yellen” is indeed the name of a real American bank official, but the real Janet Yellen of course has nothing to do with the message below, which just uses her name to try to trick you out of your money. And the scammer seems to think that just claiming to be a US bank official isn’t enough, so he tosses in the names of the United Nations and the Central Bank of Nigeria, too!

UN Diplomat Robert Newman (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

This message is an example of the old diplomatic-courier scam. “Robert Newman” is a diplomat, so he can smuggle things through customs without them being inspected. And amazingly he has a big box of cash that is just for you! In reality there is no “Robert Newman” and no big box of cash: there is just a scammer conducting a classic advance fee fraud, and you’re his target.

UN Online Draw (scam alert)

Posted on by

Some scammers write long and detailed messages to try to hook people, while others leave the details out, perhaps to create an air of mystery. The lottery scam message below, which was probably sent to thousands or tens of thousands of people, tells you only that you’ve won a fortune and need to get in touch. But is it from the UN, or from Australia, or from Malaysia, or somewhere else? It is probably from a scammer working in an internet cafe somewhere in Africa.

You’ve won the UN Lotto! Or perhaps not, since there is no UN Lotto. But if Dr. Ms. Anna Luis of HSBC Bank says it’s true, then it must be, yes? She has the box of money already to send to you (it’s cleverly registered as a box of African cloth). All you have to do is pay the Security Keeping fee of $115. But what’s $115 when you have millions on the way, right? (Sucker!)

Good News, I’m writing to inform you that I have Paid the fee for your United Nations Lotto Compensation Draft Cheque. Mr. Allen Thomas the Director of HSBC BANK told me that before the cheque will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to cash the $5.950,000.00, to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of 2010. What you have to do now is to contact the TNT Express Courier (tnt.tnt@duzcefb.org) as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment package to you immediatey. For your information, I have paid for the yellow tag fee and delivery Charge.

The only money you will send to the TNT Courier to deliver your Consignment Package direct to your postal Address in your country is US$115 only being Security Keeping Fee for the TNT Courier Service so far. I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and in case of dumourrage on your Package with them.

Please write a letter of application to the given address below:

Company Name: TNT EXPRESS COURIER
Manager. kessier Febian
Email: tnt.tnt@duzcefb.org

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address….,nearest local and international airport…, Direct telephone number….. contact address…. and Your Passport or Driver’s licence…. to avoid wrong delivery, they will issue you a delivery code#, to enable you track your consignment box and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $115.00 for their immediate action to deliver urgently. Note this. The TNT Courier don’t know the contents of the Box Package. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not know the contents was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don’t let them know that box contains money ok.

We are sorry for the past inconvieneces
