Can I trust you scam

Here is another scam I recently received. The ironic thing about this email scam was the title read...

"Can I trust you".

While I can be trusted, and you can probably be trusted....I doubt this person has many who trust him. Also, don't call me Dear if you don't even know me.

Spam Scammer readers, I hope you don't ever fall for these vultures. Here is a copy of the Can I trust you scam:

Hello Dear,

Please kindly permit me to introduce myself and this business deal opportunity
to do with you. My name is Mr. Johnson Kofi, a bank manager. I wish to know if
we can work together.
I would like you to stand as the foreigner who made huge deposits in my bank.
The transfer would be made via swift and it will be a Bank-to-Bank wired
transfer. All I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of
this fund.

I will compute your particulars as the person who made the deposit in my branch,
so that my head office will immediately order the transfer to your designated
bank Account.

Please indicate If you are interested or not so that I can give you details on
what we are to do, I urgently hope to hear from you as soonest.

Best regards,
Mr. Johnson Kofi

Apology: I think not

This spam email had a "catchy" title. "My Apology Letter" When your heartstrings get pulled you tend to want to know what the message is about. Unfortunately, the sender was apologizing that he forgot to tell you about his latest scam.

It's unfortunate that these "snakes" feel compelled to take advantage of others. It is our mission to expose these scams to educate our readers on the multitude of scams on the internet. Below is a copy of the latest "Apology Scam" We haven't verified and we can't take any responsibility as to the accuracy of this message; however, based on the hundreds of scams we receive...we have to believe this is another scam.



My Apology letter

I am sincerely apologised for the delay of your cashier check since my client asked me to send it to you. Am sorry for the inconveinece this might have coused you, it is due to our new project with the new partner; please forgive me for any inconvienence it may cause you.
