An open letter to “Angela Busco”,

Dear Angela,

What a sad story, I think that I will send my life time savings to you in Nigeria, well you say South Africa, doesn’t matter. Sad, sad story. If I sent a few thousand dollars; do you think that it would help get things straight? I am always looking to help the poor and impoverished. Personally, I could not comprehend how frustrating it must be to know that all that money is available and poor Angela can not access it. Would a few thousands help Ang?

If you can send me just 100 USD’s to cover the costs of my transferring you a few thousand dollars, do you think you can handle it? I know that the situation is desperate and when my uncle Tim tried to transfer 156 million, it was very, very difficult. We managed to do it but it took the efforts of many good willed individuals. Trust me Angela, I am one. One hundred bucks USD’s and all will be arranged, passports and all. Just send the money by Western Union and welcome to the free world. Tell willy-mama at hotmail not to worry either; when we settle all those millions, she will have a new home too.

This type of scam particularly annoys me. It preys on people that are usually unable to acquire a conventional loan for whatever reason; bad credit rating, low income etc. (more…)

Stories like this one just break my heart and motivate me to continue this site. If only one person can be forewarned about a scam, it is worth my time and effort. These low life bottom feeders merit nothing less than the worst that life has to offer and then some.
The BBC published the following, take a moment and read the following about a student that committed suicide after falling victim to a scam read here

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

Very legit loan operation? Head office at Hotmail.com? Give me a break! May all readers that have borrowed my “undisclosed-recipients” Email address please take notice, scam, yes scam it is. (more…)

This loan offer smells very scammy. Mister Bigshot Billy has a contact address at Yahoo.it, business must not be too good if he has to use a free Email address, very professional Jerry! (more…)

We have reported on similar scams in past posts. Some offer Lotto winnings, some offer education grants or charity donations. Whatever the angle scammers are out for only one thing
a victim. Please take the time to read CTV’s report on another advanced fees loan scam.

I tell ya it has been a great year, there are the millions I have won in Lotteries, the millions I inherited, and say nothing of the 90 million that Mr. Wong was willing to lend me for 50 years.
Now this! Up to 100 million dollar loan for my education! (more…)
