Super User grimlin Posted March 29, 2009 Super User Posted March 29, 2009 Greeting! I have been waiting for you since regarding your Cashier Bank Draft worth USD$1.5Million, but I did not hear from you since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with FedEx COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I traveled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of April. Please you have to contact the FedEx COURIER SERVICE to know when they will deliver your package to you there in your country; I have paid for the delivering charges and insurance fee. The only money you have to send to them is their security keeping fee which is $270.00 Us Dollars to received your package I agreed with them that you will pay the $270.00 Don't be deceived by any body because I paid for the delivery fee before they accepted the Cashier Bank draft and was told that after one week you will pay the Security keeping fee which is only $270.00.Contact the DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY with the information? below: Attn: Mr. Daniel J. Blunt TEL: +234(8032312897) EMAIL: mrdanielblunt804@gmail.com Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increasing the security keeping fee. I gave them your delivering address but you have to reconfirm it to them again to avoid any mistake in the delivering. Let me know as soon as you receive your Cashier Bank Draft, And I am very sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you but remember that it wasn? my fault because I waited for you to come down before I was called by my Director, The amount you have to send to them is $270.00 only. Regards, Mrs. Joanna Benz Secretary I get these all the time in the email.....see how clever these things look! Ain't falling for it. > Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted March 29, 2009 Super User Posted March 29, 2009 Tell them you want to postdate the check on an account you are opening Monday. Sad part is lots of people fall for this. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 29, 2009 Super User Posted March 29, 2009 i don't see how its possible to fall for this, because just from reading it, i'm confused as hell? how could i possibly fall for this, the person is talking to me like i know what is going on, like i know who this person is, and like we had some existing transaction. the only thing that is clear from that email is that this person really wants you to send them $270.00 Us dollars. : Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 29, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 29, 2009 People fall for this scam and it's derivatives all the time. Hard to believe? Not at all. I just got, once again, the very old "Microsoft/AOL will send you money for every person you forward this to" hoax e-mail. This is THE oldest hoaz e-mail in existance, and it's STILL got traction. People actually believe this crap! Thankfully, it's easy to spot scams: If it's coming from somebody you don't know and/or it's asking for money or your personal information, it's a scam! Quote
christopherjake Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 A lot of these emails originate from Nigeria, South Africa or some counties out of the states. The best way to handle these is just click DELETE. Quote

People fall for this crap. Normally i delete it for the most part,this time i decided to read this one and post how these scams try to get you.It doesn't always ask for thousands of dollars like some other ones.But if you add up 270 for every person who might fall for this,you talking some serious cash.

Eddie Munster Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 If it has a pre paid postage return stamp on it, wrap it around a brick as best you can. They may get charged $$ on shipping that paperweight. Dunno if it still works. Quote
