Yes "PMedMoe" it seems you and I are very populare with these Clowns. That Lottery Ticket One is really something. I don't unstand how she was able to withdraw $18,000.00 from a ATM, I know I can only get $500.00 Max from my Bank. Interesting theres no details on the alledged Lotto ticket or if she saw it or attemped to verify the numbers or amount.


But here another I just Rec'd:




GOOD DAY TO YOU,

My name is Mrs. Victoria Veronica Lee; I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to you/church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer for about two years, immediately after the death of my husband, who has left me everything he worked for. He owned an import/export company which operated in the UK, west Africa and in china I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly, since we had no kids to inherit them.

Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe He has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than a month and I'll want you to stand as the beneficiary to the account of my late husband in the United Kingdom and in Africa. Also to the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows.

You would be entitled to 20% of all the funds which are deposited in bank/finance house in the United Kingdom and in Africa. The remaining 80% will be used to set up a foundation in my husband's name, which will be used to help the less privileged.At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status.

Please contact my lawyers in charge of the funds and they will arrange the transfer of the funds from my account to your preferred account as you would be the beneficiary to them.

Pls. Contact my lawyer in London,

Here's the scoop from 419scam:

*An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
* This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
* This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
* This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

Had a good one today and it wasn't even an email!

I was coming out of the bank and this guy stopped and introduced himself.  He proceeded to tell me a story about how his kid was transferred from a Toronto Hospital to CHEO and how the van from Ronald McDonald house broke down and how BlueLine taxi was assisting with that and how Wendy's was assisting with food.....

I stopped him right there and bluntly asked if he was looking for money.  When he replied yes, I told him no.

I have to admit, he was in a good spot for it (get people coming out of a bank) but I wanted to tell him to either use a breath mint or not get so close to people when he spoke because I could smell the alcohol on his breath.

Got a good one by phone today.  Apparently Bell Mobility just calls people up at random to give them a free pre activated blackberry.  All I had to do was provide my social insurance number and a credit card number to cover the shipping, and it's all mine!  How could I possibly lose?

I had a guy claim his wife was giving birth in he hospital and that someone had stolen his car from the parking garage. That he needed $20 for the cab. I told him he was in luck that the hospital he claimed his wife is at was near my house, if the clerk at the garage confirmed his story I would be happy to take him directly to the hospital. Of course I was told the F**k Off.
 
Got my THIRD seperate notice from various Euro Lottery Commissions in as many hours saying I was their new multi-gazillionaire.  My replies aren't publishable here, however the first word started with "F" and the last ended with the same.  No replies thus far...

Zurich  NOVEMBER 2009 
                                                                                       
 
 
   
 
I am Bill Graham a solicitor at law. I am the Personal Lawyer to TONY SCARAN a National of your Country, who has lived in Switzerland for the past five years, and whom herein after shall be referred to as my client.
 
On the 25th April 2007, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a fatal car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives; my client was one of them. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
 
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Swiss bank where these huge deposits were lodged. The Lion Bank Of Switzerland where the deceased had an account valued at US$ 6,000,000 Six million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.
 
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 year now I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name. The proceeds of this account valued at US$ 6,000,000 Six million dollars will be paid to you, as my client’s Next of Kin, and we will share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage. All legal documents to back up your claims as the deceased Next of Kin will be provided.
 
Please get in touch with me through my email address or phone below, to enable us discuss further about this transaction. Your utmost confidentiality is needed for the execution of this transaction 
 
 
Best Regards, 
 
 
Barrister Bill Graham

Please note: I do NOT have the same last name as the dearly departed.  Too funny!


 
It seems they are hacking Facebook accounts now.

A coworker was online and got a chat notification from one of his "friend" saying he was stuck in England, his wallet had been stolen and he needed cash to pay for the hotel.

The clincher?  This guy was posted to a different base.  So, buddy calls "friend's" wife and asks where he is.  Wife says he's at base XXX, not on leave.  Seems his account got hacked and hacker was trying to get cash transfered to him at a Money Mart.

That's not really new, they've been doing that scam on Facebook (and elsewhere) for a couple of years now.

ACCA

Bearing in mind the nature of the content of this letter coming from a person without any referral, I apologize for any inconvenience, but please read and objectively consider if we can work together.co-operation in receiving US$10.5Million that has been in a dormant account with my bank since 1997 under inheritance claim. 30% of the total sums will be accrued to you upon the confirm,confirmation of the funds in your nominated account.

Although it may seem small, but you have to understand and accept this since 40% of the total sum will go to charity, as my entitlement here is also 30%. I need your co-operation here because the account holder an Iraqi Chieftain and businessman died at the war I find out this during the course of our internal audit, I have tried to reach any of the next trustees, but to no avail and since I am not in position to make the claim.

I can establish you before the bank as the heir to the bequest.It is very important that the claim is made, as the bank will turn the funds over to the treasury anytime from now if it remains unclaimed. I will,provide you with detailed information on the modalities of this operation.once I have your interest but I must say that trust flourishes business.Therefore let your conscience towards this proposal be nurtured with sincerity.i will wait for a corresponding response from you.

Apparently, I can put in my release now, as I have been offered two jobs as a "Product Research Technician" at $75/hour.    :D

What they don't tell you is that you only work one hour a week.....or month.....  ::)
 
And here is a new one, at least to me.

Hi,
I am a British soldier currently in Afghanistan. I am with the 40th Regiment Royal Artillery in Afghanistan. We hijacked a suspected Van painted black between the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Door gunners sitting behind machine guns in the Black Van tried shooting at our direction but we lunched a combat backup attack on the Black Van none of the Taliban survived the attack.
 
We discovered other currencies including US dollars of about $ 16 million loaded inside the Black Van with so many types of machine guns. We want to move this money out of this place, before we declare other items in the van to the international press. This place is a war zone you will keep our share pending the end of our assignment here in Afghanistan.
We will take 70%. You take 30%. No strings attached, just help us move it out of Afghanistan, Afghanistan is a war zone. We plan to use secured logistics courier to ship the money out in a large box.

If you can help to receive the box for us, I will send you the full details. Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details. This should be a secret and must be a secret between us.

Respectfully,
Gen Sir David Richards (right)
 
I'm thinking this has just gotta be legit.  I mean if you can't trust Nigeria's National Security Advisor who can you trust?  Ya' figure? 

Attn: Honorable Beneficiary,

Based on our investigations, we wish to warn you against some Miscreants, Hoodlums and Touts who go about scamming innocent people by claiming to be who they are not and thereby tarnishing the image of this wonderful country. I am Lt General Hassan Mustapha (Rtd), National Security Adviser to the new Nigerian President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. I am delighted to inform you that the contract panel which just concluded its seating in Abuja just released your name among listed beneficiaries to benefit from the Diplomatic Immunity Payment. This Panel was primarily delegated to investigate manipulated inheritance claims, contracts and over-invoiced payment as the effect has eaten deep into the economy of our dear country.

However, we wish to bring to your notice that your contract profile is still reflecting in our central computer as unpaid beneficiary while auditing was going on. Your payment file was forwarded to my office by the auditors as unclaimed fund, we wish to use this medium to inform you that for the time being, the Federal Government of Nigeria have stopped further payment through bank to bank transfer due to beneficiaries numerous petitions to United Nations against Nigeria on wrong payment and diversion of contract/inheritance funds to different accounts.

In this regards, we are going to send your contract part payment of $4.1 Million USD to you via our accredited shipping company and I have secured every needed documents to cover the money while the diplomat will get it delivered to you right in your door step. Note: The money is coming in 2 security proof boxes. The boxes are sealed with synthetic nylon seal and padded with machine. Please you don't have to worry for anything as the transaction is 100% risk free.

The consignment will be coming with a Diplomatic agent, who will accompany the boxes to your house address. All you need to do now is to send to me, your full house address and your identity such as, international passport or driver’s license and your mobile or fixed telephone number as the Diplomatic Agent will travel with it and will call you immediately he arrives to your country's airport. I hope you understand me.

Bear in mind that the diplomat does not know the original contents of the boxes. What i declared to them as the contents is Sensitive Photographic Film Materials for security reasons. I did not declare money to them please. If they call you and ask you the contents please tell them the same thing Ok. I will let you know how far I have gone with this arrangement. Lastly, I will secure the International Delivery Yellow Tag (I.D.Y.T) which will make him pass every custom checkpoint all over the world without any hitch. Confirm the receipt of this message and send the requirements to me immediately because your boxes are scheduled to leave as soon as we hear from you.
