Microsoft Award Team Lottery Scam

The Microsoft bogus lottery is back once again. It is the usual advanced fees scam where the Bottom feeders ask for fees in advance prior to sending you your “winnings”. Guess what, you send along some money to cover costs required prior to the release of your prize and you never hear from them again. You got scammed!

Mr. Abbas Sadou Bank of Africa Scammer

Yet again another dormant account scheme, it is the same old scam. Contact the bottom feeder and he will come up with a few “unexpected” fees that must be covered before he can transfer the funds. Most likely these fees must be send by Western Union (can not trace) should these fees be sent; well guess what; some other fees will come up and yet another payment will be required. Bingo! you just got scammed! Don’t count on ever seeing any funds and your out what ever the bottom feeder managed to get from you.

Hang Seng Bank Patrick K.W. Chan Scams

The bottom feeders are sure busy using the Hang Seng Bank as a reference for their scams.
Now tell me Mr.Chan, Just how did you get me as a reference? Perhaps I was on the list of the spammer you hired to distribute your scam all over the internet?

Gladys Heights Phishing Scam Bellnet

Once again some low life bottom feeder is trying to sucker people into their scam. This is a pure attempt at identity theft. Why would Bellnet ask for your personal information be sent to a Yahoo.com address? You would think an organization as big as Bellnet could afford the hundred bucks or so required to have their own domain email.
