Nigerian ATM Scam

2009-06-01T10:32:00.003-04:00

This email scam was so important the sender emailed it to us 3x in one day. Eitherit's real important or he's not very organized. I'll bet it was the second option. This oneeven gave us a 'secret code' to use when you contact them and give them all yourpersonal information. Also, who really believes you can withdraw 100,000 per day from an ATM without raising a few eyebrows. A copy of the '

Can I trust you scam

2009-05-27T09:26:00.002-04:00

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

Apology: I think not

2009-05-19T11:40:00.003-04:00

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

PayPal Account Information Scam

2009-01-05T10:29:00.003-05:00

This is one of the more difficult spam scams to detect. We'll call it the PayPal Scam. Basically, you receive an email notifying you that some unusual activity has occurred on your account. They then request that you click on the "PayPal" link to update your account information and/or change your password. Unfortunately, the link goes somewhere else other than PayPal and you give your

German Fedex Courier Scam full of mispelled words and poor grammar.

Now this one was quite alarming because we could see where someone might be tempted to respond based on their concern that government authorities are getting involved.

Another Bank Scam full of Mispelled Words

2008-02-04T23:10:00.000-05:00

Here's another Bank spam scam. After receiving over 1000 of these they all begin to sound familiar. One of the things that amazes us the most is the consistent spelling and grammatical errors made in most of these emails. You would think someone serious enough to try and scam you out of your hard earned money would at least take the time to use some type of spell checking software. We counted

Saddam Hussein Money Transfer Scam

2008-01-28T14:50:00.000-05:00

It's amazing how these scammers feel no remorse in using the names of real people to make their scams sound more believable. In this case this scammer acts like he and one of his fallen military comrades found millions of dollars which had belonged to Saddam Hussein. Same scam, different story. Here he wants you to help him transfer the millions for a generous commission. Of course once you

Spam Scam Rebate Scam Spam....Ahhhhhhhhh

2008-01-15T09:53:00.000-05:00

This may be the craziest alleged bank scam we've seen. This email claims you get $150,000 as payment to make up for someone else scamming you previously. Of course they want you to hurry and be secretive because there are only 37 rewards left. We're not sure what to label this....perhaps a spam scam rebate from a spam scam. With all the spam and scam in this email maybe we'll call it the

Courier Scam

2007-12-28T12:52:00.000-05:00

This apparent courier scam only requires you to send $100 for delivery fees in order to receive your large amount of cash.

Bank of America Account Information Scam

This apparent SCAM is scary. They trick you into believing someone is tampering with your account so you'll click on the link to enter your login and account information. Remember, most financial institutions will not solicit your personal account information via email. Only enter your information on the company's direct website.

Microsoft Lottery Scam

2007-12-28T12:29:00.000-05:00

Here's another supposed scam where representatives from a foreign company offer 20% of the funds you allow them to transfer to your US account so they can avoid higher tax rates. 20% is quite a large sum to offer. What is the tax rate in China anyway? Ironically, once again the contact email isn't in a company name...it's carried by the large provider yahoo. The subject reads: How are you

Worried ATM Scammers

2007-12-20T09:22:00.000-05:00

They want you to get their ATM card and withdraw their maximum of 20,000 per day. I don't know of any ATM's which allow that much withdrawal.

In this apparent spam scam the sender claims they want to invest their large inheritance in your business. Supposedly God helped them find us as a trustworthy person to share in their 5,200,000 inheritance. Maybe they should split it with the church since their "god" is speaking to them so clearly. We're not buying it...that's for sure. It was quite an appealing subject which read: PLEASE

This supposed scam comes from someone in the UK. It claims there are 20 million British pounds at stake. That sure is a lot of money to offer out to a total stranger. I guess offering these large amounts make more people willing to take the risk. Not us. If we replied to all of these emails and they were legit we would be worth over a billion dollars. Of course we don't so we'll never have

Award Scam

2007-12-10T14:29:00.000-05:00

This is a supposed award scam which we receive at least once a week from various senders. I guess they think it's so well written that many try this one. We're not sure if it's from Italy, Africa, or somewhere else in Europe. We are sure that we receive this email over and over.

Inheritance Scam

2007-12-10T14:24:00.000-05:00

This inheritance scam came all the way from Sudan. This one claims there's 5 million dollars of hidden money which they are afraid to cash in their dangerous country.

2007-12-10T14:21:00.000-05:00

This supposed scam claims you've won 500,000 British Pounds from a Microsoft promo. Compared to most scams this one is short.

Marriage Bank Scam

2007-12-07T09:25:00.000-05:00

This poor girl claims to be a 24 year old who can't pay for school and bills because her father put a clause is his will that she can't get her 50 million until she's 30 or until she's married. Wouldn't you think someone with $50 million would leave a few dollars around to make it for 6 more years. I'd sure hate to see someone marry her for the wrong reasons and then take all of her money.

2007-12-05T21:21:00.000-05:00

This inheritance spam leads you to believe someone has a terminal illness and no next of kin; therefore they want to use someone with a good heart to help do some good with the large some of money (20 million!) they have to diperse.

This appears to be a scam which will only cost about $98.00 to insure the transfer of over 500,000. joe_mares44@zipmail.com.br was kind enough to locate us with this nice sum of money. I wonder if the Fenway Express Courier Company is real, and if so, do they know of this program? The subject for this email was "CONTACT THE DELIUVERY COMPANY FOR YOUR FUNDS.". We weren't aware until today

British National Lottery Scam

2007-12-05T16:02:00.000-05:00

It reads "You won the X-mas Give Away Bonus !!!!". I wonder who we should thank for this large award? brtlottery1@walla.com for sending the email or the contact address listed in the email. This one reads.......

Distributor Scam #1

2007-12-05T09:07:00.002-05:00

Here's one from a company that doesn't make too much sense. They want you to give them 10% of funds received from customers. Why would they want customers to pay you when they could pay them? And, why would someone with a different email address send and email asking you to contact someone else? Where's their cut. This one came from fraserl@nexicom.net From The Desk,Of Mr. Jeffrey Xu (
