The IMF wants to give me $400,000 USD!!!

I received an email from Mrs. Joy Steven. Mrs. Steven allegedly claims to be a representative of the IMF or International Monetary Fund. In her message, she claims that I am one of 521 scam victims that have been approved for compensation. In addition, my case was brought to the IMF’s attention by an arrested member of an international crime syndicate. By the way, I am to keep quiet about this situation until all syndicate members are arrested.

Well, I don’t believe you, Mrs. Steven. I never knew I had $400,000 to begin with. Furthermore, I never knew someone stolen that much money from me. Nevertheless, I am really bothered by the thousands of innocent victims of internet scams. Is the IMF planning to compensate them?

So, Mrs. Steven, your story has many holes in it. So please to do me this favor; Stop spamming me!!!

Here is copy of the original email:

The $24.5 Million Deal

I received an email from Mr. Tan Wong. He allegedly claims that he is a director at Hang Seng Bank located in Hong Kong, China. In his message, he makes a confidential business proposition involving transfer of $24,500,000.00.

Although the email sounds innocent enough, my senses alerts me to danger. Really, this person wants to do business with me. Why me? The money involved in this deal has scam, fraud, and possible jail time written all over it. And to make matters worse, this scammer most likely wants to phish personal information from me.

So, Mr. Wong, please and pretty please; stop spamming me!!!

 

Here is a copy of the original email:

The ATM Scam

$10.5 Million ATM Card

Today I received an email from Clydesdale Bank International located in the City of London, U.K.

Mr. Harry Green, whom I presume is a director at the bank, has notified me that an ATM card in the amount of $10.5 Million is ready for delivery to my address. May I remind you that I do not know this bank official nor have I any business with his institution.

What disturbs me is why a bank would just offer me a large sum of money for no apparent reason. Personally, I find this email insulting to my intelligence. Nevertheless, this topic represents the never ending assault on the greedy and gullible. Obviously, the goal of this email is to trick the reader into paying a bogus legal fee in order to claim the card. Of course, the scammer wants the reader to remit payment via a payment processor like Western Union. This method is to insure that no paper trail is traced back to the scammer; leaving the victim with no recourse to recover their swindled money.

Therefore Mr. Green (If that’s really your name), Stop Spamming Me!!!

Someone left me $10,000,000!!!

Someone left me $10,000,000!!!

 

I received an email from Rev. Paul Williams. The fictitious minister claims that someone left me $10 million in a bank account. Of course, he also instructs me to remit a payment of $300 USD in order to claim these funds.

Nevertheless, it amazes me how such individuals continue these scams. Unfortunately, many gullible people fall victim to these internet predators. Remember, there is no such thing as ‘free’ in this world. Anyone claiming to give you free money, a free car, a house, etc., is lying to you. In fact, you will wind up giving up more to them than what they are willing to give to you. So, dear Reverend, “Stop spamming me!!!”

 

Here is a copy of the original email:
