A new twist on an old scam.

Hi, my lot work is good we get money in future. thanks

Keep something in mind here about these particular emails... The word is: Money Laundering (a crime) You will notice that if you email any of these so-called opportunities to request whether you will receive a 1099 or how you will go about paying your taxes, you will not receive any answer. That right there is your RED FLAG!!

well, i never believe if anybody is offering me free money... it is too good to be true in this nowadays world... i will definitely delete the email immediately if i receive an email offering me free money... i had done that many times in the past... i don't want to make a mistake... be greedy and at the end get hooked by the scam...

That is terrible! I had never heard of it, and would never fall for it, but I think a lot of people would. Common sense seems to fly in the face of getting basically free money. And it isn't always greed, but a genuine need. Either way, I'm glad you warned everyone. It is sad to see people use the war as an excuse to scam.

I almost fell for this scam last week being the gullible person that I am. Good thing I asked my cousin for some advice. The scam even got as far as them sending me the check and it is now at the UPS office waiting for me to come and get it because I gave them my post office box and UPS does not deliver to a P.O. box. This is nice of you to inform others who may be as gullible as me to this scam.

I am also being offered these annoying scams on a regular bases and asked my mother in law who use to work in a bank and she was telling me her bank actually wont let you deposit the cheque. Which I think is a great idea but I didnt know that you were stuck with the bill. I was wondering how it actually accured. Thankyou

My Son fell for that one but not through an E-Mail but through Ebay There was a big Investigation going on when the Check bounced even Ebay got involved on it lucky enough it was sorted out but it took a month and my Son was not able to pick money up unless he went into the Bank with ID

Oh my dear friend, and I bet you nine out of ten times it is from Nigeria! I read the other day the percentage of people going for that is still very high. All I can say is STAY AWAY. If there are huge sums of money, miss spelled words, or a mailbox like yahoo,hotmail..... the chances are good that it is a SCAM, but don't let that fool you, because some of them are very professionally done. Like you said if it sounds to good to be true, then it is just that!

Yes, I receive a lot of those emails. They say I will enherit some money, or that my email address has won some amount of money, or they even claim they are from Yahoo, Coca-cola, etc. but I know they are scams! I just delete them without even reading them.

Hello gerty. I'm also receiving this kind of emails in my yahoo account. This has been going on for quite sometime now and I can feel for those people who were scammed out of their money. There is the lottery claiming I won a large sum of money, a letter from the wife of our former president here asking for my help, and so on. It never cease to amaze me how this scammers ever have the guts to cheat people out of their money.

i used to practice our own native martial arts, my grandmaster receive this kind of email message on nigeria about there central bank or something like that they want to deposit those money they collected in my grandmaster bank, well actually it's a obviously a scammed but my grandmaster insist to ride along with the scumbags of course what do you expect they make a long distance call from nigeria to Philippines,(it was a test from my grandmaster, trying how long the opposite party would rides along with him and to know there hocus pocus) then recently the scammers told that my GM's that he have to deposit a 5000 usd for there banks accounts to have a initial deposit unfortunately he discontinued the transaction for giving them a 5000 usd is about insane.

It's sad how the scammers are now using our soldiers in Iraq to get money out of us isn't it. I'm sure it 's hard for a lot of people not want to fall for that type of email but I hope their smart enough to see them for what they are.

I am also very much upset with such mails I am using more than one email id for personal and official use and I fed up with lots of Spam emails like this one I simply don't know what to do for avoiding this mails

Isn't it disturbing how many times you hear a news report about some poor unfortunate family who have fallen victim to these things yet again. Every instance is a new elaborate one too. Some are so believable! The problem is these scammers come from countries and circumstances so desperately poor. They spend all day with nothing else to do but ponder and fabricate new ways to get money. If you are poor enough and desperate enough eventually you will consider criminal means. Those who never have, have never been desperate enough. That is the saddest part, that there are creatures in this world pushed to the brink.

The scammers will continue to try to milk us for our hard earned dollars and drain our savings if we let our guard down. Unfortunately there are many people who believe these statements to be true.

I have been tried with that too,several times.I reported one of themto American Express,because they sent me some illegal American Express Money orders.

I have had this one & many, many similar ones. They are so ridiculous. How do they think I can be fooled by this? But some people are fooled. That is whgat these scammers are relying upon. The gullible. Every effort should be made by the authorities to catch these people & bring them to justice.

I have received something but I never really went far with it. I just left it alone and deleted it. Why would I want to do something like that if I don't know who that is or that company in the 1st place? Not something I'd advice getting into. I am careful when it comes to this as I feel that it would be a great miscarriage of justice to even fall for such a ridiculous scam. It's sad that people have to do something this stupid. When will anyone learn? I guess the best way is to never respond to them at all and see them start falling apart little by little.

i receive that kind of email/s, actually a waste of time to read that kind of email, "dont trust stranger's email" that what i believe. thanks for the warning.

There is never an easy way to make money on the internet especially if somebody contacts you out of the blue with your email address. The only way to make easy money is if you pay somebody else to do it that you know.
