Felicia Johnson New to Scam Scene

Another dead guy with multi millions and didn’t even make out a will! Would anybody with that kind of money not be bright enough to make out a will? Ghee! someone I have never heard of or met has decided to gratuitously send me over 12 million just like that!
Heck, I’m not sure about this one, could it be a scam? I better Google this one. What if others have received this, I wouldn’t have to share the money. Maybe I will contact Miss Johnson just to make sure I am the only one involved with her scam.

MISS FELICIA JOHNSON

AUDITOR GENERAL

DEAR,

RE: TRANSFER OF
US$15.200.000 00 MILLION TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

I feel quite safe dealing
with you in this important business. Though this medium (Internet) has
been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this
correspondence is private, and it should be treated in strict
confidence.

At first I will like to assu re you that this transaction
is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties, In order to transfer out
FIFTEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, (US$15.200 000 00) from
our bank here in Burkina Faso .

The fund for transfer is of clean
origin. The owner of the fund is a foreigner, a program leader who was
believed to acquire the fund through his secret Crude Oil deal with the
Former IRAQ government. The deceased died with all the members of his
family in an auto-accident in June 23, 2001 without a WILL. The amount
involved is US$15,200,000.00

I want to transfer this money into your
account as the foreign beneficiary of the fund. I know that this letter
will come to you as a surprise as we don’t know ourselves before, BUT BE
SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING
THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOU
NT.

YOU CAN CONTACT ME WITH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS WHICH

Mr. Frank Walla Nine Thousand Dollar Gift Scam

I guess the cost of living has gone up in Nigeria, This scammer is only using 9 thousand as bait.
He probably thinks that it will sound more believable then say 13 or 14 million would. Nice try bottom feeder, but you still haven’t got your grammatical skills up to par. ” get in touch with my secretary Mr Ob Owokola and let Him know how she can send these amount of money to you.”
How did he manage to get my personal email address? Oh I know! It’s Spam! Probably he is expecting a huge influx of responses to his scam and that’s why he can only offer 9 thousand to everyone.
Guess this is just another scam from our friends in Nigeria Bottom Feeders International.

Phone Call Lands “Free” Vacation Scam

Lately the bottom feeders have turned back to their good old ways and are again using our land lines to scam us. I have received several phone calls congratulating me for having been chosen as the lucky winner of a “free” vacation. Funny thing though, I don’t recall having entered any draw or lotto offering a free vacation?
Poor Nicole fell for this scam, read her story here. This is a very slimmy type of scam and unfortunately it is quite effective at sucking the unsuspected into their devious web. If they manage to get your credit card number, your identity is now at risk. refuse the vacation; doesn’t matter, as they say they got your number.
Do yourself a favour and slam that receiver down the minute the word “free” is spoken.

UPDATE …OCT. 10, 2008

It seems that a number of readers are associating this post with a similar type of “fuzzy” advertisement masking as a “free” vacation to Las Vegas. The one in question is actually a way of selling timeshares. They will give you those free stays, but there is a catch! You put down a deposit which will be refunded if you agree to attend a presentation. In other words once you go for your “free” vacation you will be hounded into buying a timeshare and these presentations could take up most of your “vacation” time. If you do not attend, you may very well lose your deposit.
This is not an uncommon practise in the timeshare business. What makes this one particularly annoying and rather “unethical” is the fact they are passing it off as a contest when in fact anyone who bothers to call will get the same offer.
As far as we know this is not illegal, but let’s just say rather “scammy”. Remember as they say “Free is Free But..”
