[Clunk]

He must be a FBI agent..... Just look at the fantastic grammar, that just has FBI agent all over it that does...... Lol

Taps a lot!!!!!!

I work for aus post and there was a guy who used to come in everyday to send money orders overseas for these scams. We did some number crunching and worked out he spent over 70g through our post office. Well he died earlier this year and when his kids came into close his account. They told us he sold the family farm and everything in the belief he would soon get the money from overseas. It's so sad. I don't understand how people fall for it

[ghostrider_oz]

I agree with lufkin, there was a guy at work alot of years ago who was duped by a Nigerian one involving a dam and some left over "millions" and i think he sent about $6k to them before he asked me what I thought I told him he was an idiot but he still sent anohter $500 for transaction fee cause he got an email saying it was almost ready to transfer his % to his new account. Yep he opened a new account with Barclays bank which I think cost him $500 too, cause that was the only bank they could deal with I think from memory that $500 disappeared too along with the helpful attorney that was "faciliting" the transfer

[LittleJohn]

great grammatical skills for an fbi agent !

we must contact them pronto !! LOL's

[macca]

Get at least 2 and often 5 sometime 10 of those every day or they are rellos that have died and left me a fortune.
Funny thing is we were not aware we had so many relos who were loaded, well with money anyway!

Saw 60minutes with some old girl being ripped off and her grandson trying to put a stop to it all. They arrested these African dudes in a London hotel sting, she snuck off to the lobby and was on the phone to his accomplices trying to get her promised millions, and wasnt she P-O'd with the grandson for stuffing it up.

[AB]

They're horrible stories!

I must admit a friend of mine's mother screamed one day saying she won a million dollars when a banner ad flashed up on the website she was on when she was using the internet.

Goes to show how ignorant some people are with the internet.

Should almost have a mandatory quick anti scam training for new users somehow!

[ghostrider_oz]

Yeah but in the end it repedative behaviour they same guy (refer previous post) met a girl on the net and spent ages talking to her, sent her presents, money & finally airfares, she came over from the US for a holiday told him she had changed her mind and wanted to go home and he never heard from her again, cost him $5 - 8k again

Obvouisly your not visting the right dodgy sites just google "pron" and you will receive a daily dosage of exciting offers from all over the world and a thousand worthy family's who have kept $10 million in a safety deposit box that only you can help access.

[Winnie]

Might have to get onto that now then.

[perni_a]

problem is they send out millions of emails and letters all across the world. someone will fall victim. and thats the motivation to keep doing it. ppl need to smarten up.

One scam that is still occurring is you get a phone call and the scammer claims they are from Microsoft and they have detected errors with your windows system they then get you to install a program called team viewer which gives them access and control of your computer. Then I assume they just watch your computer hoping you use interned banking etc.
My father in-law almost fell for this one, Luckily he called me to ask about the errors I told him that Microsoft has like 2 billion users and will never call an individual user.
Rule of thumb if any one contacts you, be suspect of them.
