[Schlenkerla]

I was rough reading this last night with several beers in me....

I read about a paragraph, then the Charlie Brown teacher thing kicked in, Want, wha wont wha...

I don't know yet....

I should call Mr Rhodes Hopewell collect or email him back just to mess with him or whoever is pretending to be Mr Hopewell.

I like this part, maybe I should wait a bit for the extra 3k.

Man if I were an expert in check fraud I would so dick around with these guys. I'd send thousands and thousands of fake dollars to them, they'd get all happy they found another sucker.... then the bank would be after them. muahahahahaa.....

 

[Saccharomyces]

If I printed out all the scams I've gotten emailed in the last year, I'd be worth about $2 billion on paper.

The Somalians really should hook up with the Nigerians, because clearly the Nigerians are raking in the money without the need to raid ships.

 

[MMW]

Obligitory

Someone had to do it.

 

[jgln]

This is probably not a scam as much as it is a sales pitch for old people or people with short memories but I get a recorded call every so often that goes like this.

Hey there, how have you been? I am well, looking at your account and (pause) and I think you are eligible for a new lower rate. Hold on let me see, yep. I know you are interested because the last time we spoke you said you were so let's...... (I hang up about now).

I know I don't drink that much to not know I never spoke to this woman (recording) and never spoke to anyone about my accounts or rates except maybe a live person that I called directly at the bank. It is a shame that some old person out there hears that and actually thinks they had a previous discussion with this woman because they can't remember so figure they must have.

Now if the recording said something like " I know we spoke before because you told me about the dirty magazines you have hidden between your fishing magazines..." they might have me scratching my head.

It sounds like a good security question for when you forget your password or login.

Where do you hide your porn?

MMW - Read that 419 Scambaiting thing, seems like too much work.

I would copy any paste that hole message and send it to "Mr. Hopewell" wig your name and email in place to collect the bill.

 

[unionrdr]

Just call the nearest FBI office & report it. They'll want a copy of the e-mail as well.

 

[Hello]

Just call the nearest FBI office & report it. They'll want a copy of the e-mail as well.

I imagine there is a place to forward this e-mail. A call to the FBI seems a bit overkill for a message countless people have received in the past. I get them all the time. I just send them to GMail as suspicious e-mail.

 

[unionrdr]

I say that because I got one from some group in Europe that they were after for this sort of thing. They claimed a relative in Europe (I forget where) had died,yada yada yada. I do have many relatives over there,but none that rich in a few hundred years. I had e-mailed some msg to them,& one sent a supposed license copy back. I gave them all the info I had. The agent then told me they knew who they were,& used it to nab them. I thought it was a good thing to do,not only to get them to stop bugging me,but save someone else that might go for it.

 

[littletommy]

I work with a few dopes that would SOOOOOOOO fall for that!

Sadly, I don't think any of them own computers.
