Scam Letter for Today . . .
Scam Letter
You know how I hate lying and deception, sneaking and peeping, all manner of pretending rather than keeping it real. I have a real thing about scams, and I want to pour the light of day on each and every one of them, so that the vulnerable will be forewarned.
This is a letter I got this week. Many times, I won’t even open junk mail, just throw it away, but this one looked like it MIGHT be official, even though my gut told me it wasn’t:
Looks a little like a W-2 form, doesn’t it, or something governmental?
Inside:
Still looks official, doesn’t it, but it isn’t a government form, it’s a form telling me (using my name) that this is my FINAL notification that I have to claim the two round-trip tickets on any American airline that I have won.
In a separate attachment is this “flight coupon”:
I passed it along to AdventureMan, in case he wanted to call the number and mess with them a little, but neither of us really wanted to waste the time – or to give them any idea what our phone number is: we hate scam phone calls, too. Yes, it is a scam, even if it may not be an illegal scam, it is a deception and not what it appears to be. SCAM!
Fed Ex Notification
I received this in my e-mail today. It has a zip attachment that I did not open. I worry that there are people who would believe it.
Your package has been returned to the FedEx office.
The reason of the return is – Error in the delivery address.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

One of the Worst Scam Letters Ever
This scammer hasn’t gone to any trouble to make the letter believable – or grammatical! She hasn’t gone to any trouble to put my name in – or even to call me ‘dear friend!’

Christmas Heartstrings
This just makes me ill. A new scam. Pulling on the heartstrings at Christmas time. And I don’t even know anyone by that name. I hope no one falls for this one.
Hello,
This had to come in a hurry and it has left me and my family in a devastating state.. I’m contacting you as I need your urgent financial assistance, my family and I made a trip to London,United Kingdom just for a short vacation tour but, it all ended ugly. our belongings such as credit card, cell phone, jewelery and cash all stolen from us, as we got mugged by some unknown gun men. My credit card, can’t be charged by the hotel as I already reported it as a stolen card,and the card company had canceled it, so i can only get a new one when we make it back home safely.
We’ve reported the incident to the embassy and the Police but to my dismay they seem not bothered…their response was just too casual.Our flight leaves in few hours but We’ve got to settle our bills before We’re allowed to leave..I was wondering if you could loan me Money I’ll refund it to you as soon as we arrive home just need to clear our Hotel bills and get the next plane home, As soon as we get home I’ll refund it immediately.
Let me know what you can do so I can tell you how to get the money to me.
Thanks

“US Ambassador” Offers Me a Fortune
Office of the U.S Ambassador to Nigeria
From: Mrs. Robin Ranee Sanders
GOOD DAY.
How are you? I expect you are in good health. Please DO NOT neglect this
message. Well, I believe by the time you will be from beginning to end with
this email you will realize and certainly place your mind at relax as you
are going to start a new life in no distance time. Most families have lost
lives, homes and there great wealth due to the high rate of fraud and scams
that has been all over the Nation and the world in general, My duty is to
make sure that your Fund with Government of Nigeria is been released to you
immediately. So i will like you to follow up and that your fund will be
transfered to your account before i left here.
For your Information; President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua is dead. He was aged 58.
Yar’Adua passed away at about 9.38 p.m. on Tuesday in the presidential
villa, Abuja, losing the battle against the protracted illness, which had
kept him out of office since November 23 last year.
Jonathan eventually assumed the presidency on February 9 as Acting President
after the two chambers of the National Assembly conferred him with the
powers to wield presidential powers. The arrangement was made with the
possibility of Yar’Adua returning to office if he regained his health.
President Yar’Adua returned to Abuja from Saudi Arabia in a controversial
circumstance on February 24.Unofficial reports that he was recovering were
not confirmed. He did not appear in public and neither did he assume power.
Yar’Adua became president in 2007 after a controversial election won by the
Peoples Democratic Party PDP.

to an individual through any means without a proper investigation. We have
our agents in the bank all round the World with proper security to checkmate
these scammers and any bank that goes contrary to our instruction will stand
the risk of losing its certificate of accreditation. Do not border much

compensation program was introduced by the USA Government, We are fighting

All you need to do is to re-confirm your receiving bank Information
immediately for further clarification and screening after which part of this
money will be sent to you through Bank to bank transfer Or any other means
which will be convenience for you. Bear in mind that I have a very limited
time to stay here in Nigeria and demand for your immediate attention and
Co-operation.
We believe that it is not in the best interest of this nation to be without
concrete authority at any time, more so in an executive presidential system
of government. We also believe that the leaders of this nation and more so
our elected representatives have a very serious task to administer our
national challenges to ensure national stability and democracy.” In matter
of fact, am philanthropic you my final admonition to bring to an end every
outgoing communication you are addicted to in other to achieve maximum
success.
Although the ailing leader is equally with his band of supporters, the
preponderance of opinion is that it is time for him to vacate office and
allow a fitter Jonathan to carry on the responsibility of governance.
Initially, many political leaders spoke tongue in cheek but when members of
Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party last Thursday spurned the
patriotic advise of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to allow Jonathan to
fill the void created by Yar’Adua, all hell was let loose.
