Owen Geven Fabric Employment Scam
I haven’t seen one of these employment scams for a while. It can involve a number of scams all combined into one. The first involving a Money Mule scheme where fraudsters recruit people to launder funds that were obtained illegally usually via Identity theft.
In this case the bottom feeders may be trying to get your identity at the same time for future use. Real bad stuff.
Remember, any email addressed to “undisclosed recipients” is usually bad news. Why would some guy spam our email boxes with a “job” offer? Seems to me that an international company would not opperate this way! Folks it’s a scam and don’t
fall for this bottom feeder crap.

Brown Hamilton Esq Nigerian Scammer
Sorry to the real Brown Hamilton, if you exist, but some bottom feeder from maybe Nigeria is using your name to try and scam honest people out of their hard earned money. If these A–holes put as much effort into legitimate activities, they would be rich. But No! us bottom feeders like to steal from honest people, must be kind of like a cocaine rush.
Here at Gariell we would love to spam our message out that emails like this one are scams; but hey! That would be unethical and dishonest. We prefer to take the high road and simply disclose one bottom feeder at a time and hope to put them out of “business” one at a time.
Of course, damn one scam and give birth to a new one; kind of like the bovine flue.
Who will be the next victim who didn’t wash his hands on the way out of a public can? The internet is the public can and you must flush and wash your hands. Scam emails, flush and cleanse your emails from the pandemic scam virus.

Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Date: April 6, 2009 5:38:16 PM EDT (CA)Hello,
My name is Brown Hamilton Esq. I am the Solicitor to one of my late client,
who died in London UK. I have a business proposition for you.
Before the death of my late client, she lodged huge amount of money in a
security vault/company here amounting to Four million dollars. And she left
behind strict instructions on secrecy and top confidentiality of her funds
in the security company. And the only person aware of the funds is me, being
her Lawyer.
Unfortunately, She had no next of kin as she had no children and she didn’t
appoint any inheritance/beneficiary. It is on this note, that you come in, I
would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin whom I will
appoint and notify the security company that you are the actual next of kin
appointed by my late client. Please, have nothing to worry about, as I will
commence processing all legal documentations certifying you as the Sole-
Beneficiary to my late client, Be rest assured that all documents will be
processed according to the law.
If you agree to do this with me, we shall both share the total amount of
Four million dollars 40/60 %, which means ( One million Six hundred
thousand dollars)for you, while (Two million Four hundred thousand dollars)
would be mine. If you oblige then kindly send me your full name, Age,
address, telephone and country, in order for me to prepare the necessary
documents for the funds to be released to you.
Kindly note that this transaction requires maximum secrecy. Please respond
to me through ( browham@aol.co.uk ). I await your response.
Regards
Brown Hamilton
A Whole lot of Phishing Going On, Scammers Going Wild
Lately, I have been receiving numerous phishing emails disguised as all kinds of financial institutions. One day it is the ” Cahoot Bank” ( I didn’t even know this existed ). The next day it is for the Bank of Montreal; followed by ” Alliance & Leicester Bank, just to name a few.
They are all just a bunch of Phishing scammer emails. They all urge you to log in right away, something is wrong with your account! Rest assured there is nothing wrong and if you want to do any transactions or seek information about your accounts, go directly to the actual site of your institution.
These emails provide a hyper link that will lead you to a “Spoofed” site that may look like your actual banking institution’s site but it is not. Should you enter your account information and password, Well guess what! You just gave access to your account to some low life scum bag, bottom feeder and are now a victim of identity thieft.
No and I repeat No financial institution will ever use email to enquire about anything important or concerning your personal information. They just don’t do that.
Should you receive any emails similar to the one below, do yourself a favour and flush it as quick as it is humanly possible, don’t let the bottom feeders steal your identity.
