Zenith Bank PLC Humorous Scam

Now there is dumb and dumber, this one is in the dumber category. Mr. Godwin Emefiele asks “We need to confirm from you if it’s really true that you are dead and If we did not hear from you it automatically means that you are actually dead”. LoL, Wonder if this is a scam?

Classic Trust Loan Firm Loan Scam

This scam is old as the hills. Apply for a loan and the scammers will ask for a fee in order to “process” your loan. Send the fee and you will never see your so called loan.
The scammers may also ask for personal information in order to steal your identity, this was the case in a recent case in the U.S read Arizona scam

David Old International Bank Scam

Same old song and dance routine. David Old looking for some advanced fees or having us deposit some bogus check and send money back before the check bounces, if this is the case expect him to request the funds via Western Union and say bye-bye to your cash.

World Youth Organization For Human Welfare Scam

This a new approach for the bottom feeders. As far as I can see, no such conference will be taking place on these dates. Upon first review this seems to be an advance fees scam. They will probably ask for registration fees and then maybe accommodation fees for the stay in Dakar.
Since they are “inviting” anybody and their uncle, it just doesn’t make sense.

British Lottery Scam

Haven’t seen this advanced fees scam for a while. Guess the scammers have brought it back for another run.
