Sad to Think There Are Really People This DUMB

[handejector]

With several forum accounts and a personal one, I get many scam emails per day.
You know- the Army Sgt who'll split 50/50 with me if I help him get $50,000,000 he found out of Iraq, or the crooked account manager in a Hong Cong bank that is going to split $12,000,000 with me in a dormant account that has a dead owner with no heirs by making me the legal heir, etc, etc.....

Here is an old one with a new format that came to forum support. It was just so laughable, I HAVE to wonder WHO falls for these? Shouldn't victims of this stuff be under observation/supervision 24/7?

Hello Dear.

This email come to those who are yet to receive their compensation/inheritance/winnings and who have been scammed in any part of the world. This includes all foreign contractors/beneficiaries that may have not received their payment, and people that have had an unfinished transaction or Compensation payments that failed due to Government problems etc.

Should I go ahead and contact Tamara and take the $2.5 MIL, or keep working with the Army Sgt for $25 MIL????
I don't have time to handle all these.
So, I'm willing to work with someone on the Hong Kong deal. If you collect the half of the $12,000,000 for me, you can keep half of that $6,000,000!!!!! Just to show you are a real person with an established life and bank account, and as a show of good faith, I'll need for you to send me a check for $5000. Certified, please. You can keep that much extra when we split the money.

WOW! Sounds like a great business deal!

The scam that seems to still be working around my area is the missed jury duty one.

They spoof the local sheriff's office phone number and call saying you missed jury duty and we're coming to arrest you unless you pay us the fine right now with a credit card.

Barnum was right.

 

[federali]

Wow!

And if you act right now, you might get them to throw in a free Weatherby rifle.

 

[pmanton]

Oh No this was a scam !!!! I guess I shouldn't have given them my account number.

Lee--This indictment was handed down here last week on the nationwide IRS scam that I believe I have seen others complain of on this forum. As the indictment shows, they took in over $9 million before this was shut down.

IRS Impersonators Steal Nearly $9 Million from Thousands of Victims in Nationwide Scheme | USAO-EDAR | Department of Justice

"In addition to Arkansas, investigators located wire transfer collections as part of the scheme in the following states: Oklahoma, Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Utah, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, and Washington, D.C. Currently, investigators have identified 7,797 nationwide victims for a total discovered loss amount of $8,958,995.71."

I recently saw an article about an IRS scam "call center" in India that was busted by Indian authorities. IIRC they were bringing in $150K per day!

As soon as I pick up the Nigerian Princess (my bride to be) I'll help you with those!! She should be here soon, I'm waiting for her at the airport. I know she has the money for the ticket because I sent it to her, twice. Hang on Lee, that money is ours, I'm all in!!!

 

[Chuck24]

Don't have time. My Asian, Russian,and Brazilian beauties have worn me out. I'm old and I'm tired.

 

[handejector]

Lee, my check is in the mail.

Ya got a tracking number?

 

[Arik]

I've gotten that one before!

Did you ever get the one where your package, that you apparently ordered from Germany, arrived accidentally in Nevada and because it's big and weighs several tons you now have to pay UPS $15,000 ( FIFTEEN THOUSAND) to receive your package?

I think they were shooting a little high at $15,000. I may have payed $5,000......maaaaybe $8,000 but not $15,000. $10,000 is where I draw the line

What gave me away?

It would be easier and legal to just start a "Go Fund Me" account and just ask for donations. "I need money to pay my bills and buy good bourbon ".
Click on ********. Thank you.

I knew I would hit the jackpot sooner or later! Now I can afford to go on the free cruise I won!

Lee, Can I give you an IOU? I really need an influx of quick cash to bail my son out of that Bolivian prison. He broke his nose in a terrible car wreck and I could barely recognize his voice, but I'm sure it was him.

All this time I thought he was studying for finals at college.

The UN headquarters has been moved to Switzerland? That's a step in the right direction!

Statistically speaking, half the population is below average intelligence - literally. Even if the odds are a million to one of the sender collecting, it's easy to send million emails out in search of that one idiot.

Nor is this anything new. Eons ago (late 1950's?), when I was a youngster, my dad told me about some guy advertising in the back of a magazine. His ad said: "Last chance to send your dollar." and listed a PO box. He did well enough the post office shut him down.

The scams must pay off or they wouldn't keep doing them. The second one is free just pay another fee, plus shipping, plus handling. Yep you are free to be a sucker.
