Scams like these

[QF WP]

Not going anywhere near that one, Skyring.

Todays email was from a new person (to me) with a similar sob story to many. Sorry dear, but I happen to agree with NATO. Plus Scamdex and many others have already alerted me. Actually I like this one the best: How to reply to a “Nigeria Scam” Message (Part 3 of 3)

Hello My Beloved One, i need your assistance,

Please bear with me i am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my heart.

I am Aisha Muammar Gaddafi, the only daughter of the embattled president of Libya, Hon. Muammar Gaddafi. I know my mail might come to you as a surprise because you don’t know me, but due to unsolicited nature of my situation here in Refugee camp Ouagadougou Burkina Faso i decided to contact you for help. I have passed through pains and sorrowful moment since the death of my father. At the meantime, my family is the target of Western nations led by Nato who wants to destroy my father at all costs. Our investments and bank accounts in several countries are their targets to freeze.

My Father of blessed memory deposited the sum of $5.8M (Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars) in Africa Develoment Bank (ADB) Burkina Faso which he used my name as the next of kin. I have been commissioned by the (ADB) bank to present an interested foreign investor/partner who can stand as my trustee and receive the fund in his account for a possible investment in his country due to my refugee status here in Burkina Faso.

I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for the transfer of the fund to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust but rather take me as your own sister or daughter. If this transaction interest you, you don't have to disclose it to any body because of what is going with my entire family, if the united nation happens to know this account, they will freezing it as they freeze others, so please keep this transaction only to yourself until we finalize it.

Sorry for my pictures i will enclose it in my next mail and more about me when i hear from you okay.

Yours Sincerely

Best Regard,

Aisha Gaddafi

please you can contact me through my private email address <redacted>

Of course, don't worry that you didn't even get the spelling of her name right: Aisha Muammar Gaddafi - Google Search

I get a nice chunky envelope from Malaysia every year, complete with colourful stamps and a couple of scratchies inside. Anyone else had this one?

Got one last year after a brief stopover at KL, could really have been only one of two options that provided my address to them, it was just too coincidental, anyway if I get one this year, in the bin it goes.

Got one a few months ago. My scratchie only won second prize. Don't know where they got my name and address. White pages random search?

Also I have been overcharged by WW it would seem

Got an email saying they installed software on my computer and used it to film me satisfying myself while watching cough.

If I don't pay $300 in bitcoins, they will send it to my employer.

Knock yourselves out and delete.

That’s hilarious. So, any of it true?

 

[Denali]

Sadly, no cough watching on the work provided laptop but it is a reminder to put a piece of tape over the camera thingy.

I wouldn't even know how to begin to buy a bitcoin even if I wanted to.

I've had that one as well. I knew it was a scam when they didn't mention that several staff had blinded themselves when reviewing the footage.
