Lauderdale, Florida, (so the caller said) . The gentleman told me due to my stellar reputation, I was automatically on the ground floor with a fantastic bullet proof investment opportunity. If I let him have $500.00/month, the return on my investment would be in the thousands after a few months. He said, "all I need is your bank account number." I told him I needed his name, telephone number, address, and the name of his investment company in order to verify this sweet deal. He asked what I was going to do with the information. I told him I would check with the Texas Attorney General's office and probably the FBI. He hung up on me. ]]>Jun 24th 2008 6:32AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/]]>Jul 16th 2008 7:48AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/I told her I knew this was a fraud and I would do no such things. She claimed that I would be $$$ taken care of for helping her... Well when I told her/him who knows lol was on the other end. that I suspect fraud, she stoped emailing me.
This did not start out as other scams has started as I read , so that was the only reason I had any contact with them.. I really thought she was seeking a egyptian person to help her.. but as time went on she/he showed this was a scam. ]]>Jul 16th 2008 11:07AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/
A few from the united nations that has taken over from the scamers. A lot of bankers that has found an account where no one has done anything with the account and all I have to do is claim to be the next of kin and because they can controll everything it will be no trouble to push this through becayse he is the only one that knows about the account. I can get anywhere fron20% to 50/50.

Its not the first one I have received from her from Texas telling me that she went after her money and I should contace the main man and all I would have to pay is the 500.00 IRS charges. A lot of them are the same word for word except the name of the person amd the email address.

I have seen a lot of then to the scam address I have but I have quit doing that. I received one in Dec. Still trying me to help the diplomat buy the yellow tag paper. I got the first one in Feb. 2008. I told him he could go to wal-wart and get his yellow tag paper. I have a lot of fun leading them on. I even get them tellion me they got my email address from some book and my address is not even on the email anywhere.

Have a great week. ]]>Feb 24th 2009 1:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/Dec 31st 2009 5:59AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-4/

Kind Regards

You are making a big mistaked by not removing it and civil action will come. I saw other cases were someone was ahrmed and I won't tell you waht they won in court. Take it down for the last time, or your putting me and my family in jeopardy by not reoving this post.
Tell me if anyone of here knows of fake Inerpol man named George W Collins in Uk and has email address of investigationweb@hotmail.com, or one Lawrenze Wenzel, Johnson Smith, Warzini from efcc in nigeria, or European Monetary Union Fund, Esq Jeffrey James, Vivian Paul Rees, Banker Mr. Kelly Page Standard Life Bank, or a long other list in Uk and Nigeria. I have been working with this fraudster man who stole millions from victims of cybercrime already, even fell in love with him and avoided responding to him.

I want him out of commision and to feel the pain he has place on already hurt victims. God give me more victims for this and CBN Bank in Nigeria, as well as Barclays Group New York. London and anywhere they operate in world on there fake money laundering advanace fee fraud, along with long list of banks in Africa and Uk.

The advance checks, or in this case, Visa Travel Checks is the latest twist on an old scam which induces people to give up personal and bank information, only to be led to a point where a fee is requested to release funds to victim. Now they send out legitimate looking checks in advance, relying on the trust factor to complete the scam.

Simply put, if you ever receive any check from an unknown entity, or in this case Visa Travel Checks, forget it, it is guaranteed to be a fraud and you will always lose money, as well as time depositing checks at your bank, never mind the bank putting a hold on your account when discovered.

These scammers are very clever. With check printing software so precise, anyone can generate fake checks which look legitimate. What they change is the routing number which delays the checks clearing, which usually gives theives enough time to complete the sting. These scams are designed to let you see that check supposedly clears your bank, then they request the 10% fee be sent via Western Union if they have not gone for your bank account information, so beware of both scams. Best rule of thumb, never use Western Union for all scammers use them exclusively, while very few legitimate businesses will ever use Western Union, I know I never have.
