They Will Take Everything

That's right. If you fall victim to one of these scams you could lose everything. The next thing you know your beautiful antebellum house is just a shell. They'll even take the windows!!! So please think twice before responding to these scammers who pull on your heartstrings, call you friend, tell you God will bless you, etc. These spam scammers are ruthless and they obviously have NO remorse.

Time to Fight Back! Let's Spam the Spammers

As you can tell from this blog there are hundreds upon thousands of spam scams circulating on the World Wide Web. Our email mailboxes get filled with these scams every day. It's quite frustrating because it takes time to delete these emails...........and.........we get so used to seeing them that we could actually delete a real email of importance.

So today I started to wonder....how can we fight back? Then an idea came to mind.

What if we all copy and paste the SAME scam and send it back to the original sender. Maybe he/she would then spend so much time deleting their spam that they wouldn't have time to spam others :)

To protect ourselves lets write, "This is a spam email we received which we DO NOT believe to be true. In NO way do we endorse the contents of this email, however, we thought you may want to investigate since it used your name and email address as the sender. We have forwarded a copy to the appropriate parties so they can investigate and clear you and your clients name if either of you have been misrepresented. Good luck in resolving this matter."

If anyone wants to join in on the fight here's todays opportunity.

We received this spam scam from: robertkenolly_esq66@yahoo.com

Just copy and paste the email below and send it back to the address listed above. Hopefully he'll get the message.....over and over and over and over.

Firstly,I must solicit your confidentiality. I know that a proposal of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried,but I am assuring you that it is made in good faith and will be of mutual benefit.

I have since made several inquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any relation of my client, and these efforts of mine have not been productive. I then decided to trace his last name over the internet, and came across your name which is why I have contacted you to assist me in securing the money and property left behind by my client before they are declared as unclaimed and unserviceable by the bank where they have been lodged for safekeeping.

I am particularly interested in securing the funds lodged with a Finance Firm,The sum of USD11.5M Dollars.This is because the said Bank has issued a notice to me, unequivocally instructing me to produce the Next of Kin / Beneficiary to the said account within the next ten official working days, or have the account confiscated. Considering my lack of success in my bid to locate his relatives for over two years,I solicit your consent to enable me produce you as the Next of Kin to my deceased client, since you both bear the same last name.

The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and shared according to a proposed sharing pattern /ratio of 60:40 i.e. 60% for me and 40% for you. I will provide the necessary, legally obtained documents to back up any claim we make
regarding this process, and will just require your understanding/ cooperation to enable us achieve success within a legitimate arrangement, laminating any liability resulting from any breach of the prevalent laws.

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated. My direct contacts have been provided above, use same accordingly for effective communication,then kindly respond immediately.

Thank you.

Saddam Hussein Money Transfer Scam

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 give your information he'll drain your bank accounts and leave you holding the bag.

Hopefully one day some of these scammers will get caught. It would be a shame if this scam ever fell into the hands of the family of the fallen soldier he refers to in this email. They've lost enough as it is.

Here's this one....
