UPS Invoice No NR3851593/NR8018013/NR1466507, Delivery Problem No NR6567635/ NR1148409

As you can probably tell from the title, I've had a spate of scam UPS emails. All claim a parcel I sent on 28 April can't be delivered.


DO NOT OPEN the attachment - it contains a trojan that will infect your computer.


If you really have sent a parcel and think there might be a problem, contact your local UPS office directly. Don't reply to any of these emails.

Hi, I'm Ms Sharon Wilfred, can we talk,

The only reason that "Sharon Wilfred" wants to "get to know you better" is so that she can start demanding money.  She (or he) is a romance scammer.  She will pretend she wants to marry you and then start asking for money for fares, sick relatives etc.  To see how these romance scams work, take a look at http://www.keepsafeonthenet.co.uk/romance-scams/


If you are interested in online dating, join a reputable online dating site such as Dating Direct and KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU.  There are lots of scammers about, even on legitimate dating sites.  NEVER send money to anyone you meet on a dating site – however legitimate they might sound.  Demands for money are an alarm bell warning you of a scammer.

Hi,
I'm Ms Sharon Wilfred, can we talk,
i will want to get to know you better ,
Contact me with my private e mail address; sh_w231988@hotmail.com
I am an easygoing and understanding lady.
I see friendship as a gift we give to ourselves and i want you to be one
of such gifts to me.
Talk to u soon.

Dearest in the Lord.

A little used email address of mine seems to have been taken over by the scammers.  I'm tempted to get rid of the email address, but I'd lose a rich source of content for this blog and my other antiscam blog.  So here is one of today's crop.  From a scammer who wants to tell me the usual story of a dead, rich husband, no children, and surprise, surprise, loads of money - all of which I can have because she's dying.

Sister Marta tells me not to phone her.  Why?  Because I don't suppose she is a woman.  This is a male African scammer.  Ignore him, or you will find yourself being asked for money.

Dearest in the Lord.


PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.


I am Sister Marta Williams from Kuwait. I am married to Dr Edward Williams, who worked with Kuwait embassy in cote d'ivoire for nine years before he died in the year 2005.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of FIVE MILLION, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAS with one of the PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY here in Cote D Ivoire.Presently, this money is still with the SECURITY COMPANY. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.


I want a church that will use this to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.


I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the SECURITY COMPENY in Cote'd Ivoire.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.


Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life. any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for a church or christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in


Hoping to hearing from you
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ.
Sister Marta Williams

Online Banking Security Team / Your Egg Messages

Today we have a two fake messages from the "Egg" online bank (yes - for those of you from overseas there really is an online bank in the UK called Egg!!)

The second scammer, at the bottom of the page, has used one of those "fill in the blanks" scam templates, and forgotten to change it all - so although the email claimed to come from Egg, the contents tell me about my Halifax bank account.  Note to scammer - must try harder.

NEVER click on a link in a bank email - even if it appears to come from your own bank.  ALWAYS enter the address of your bank directly into your web browser.

These scammers are after your bank account and credit card details.  If you think you have accidentally given your bank details to a scammer, contact your bank immediately.

Attention: Beneficiary,

Would you trust a scam that tells you it comes from Nigeria?  I don't think you would.  Especially one, like this, that tells you how  much money to send the scammer.

"MR. IBRAHIM MOMOH" isn't a doctor of anything and he certainly doesn't work for ECOWAS.  Chevron don't give out random "grant donation prize" payments.  This scammer can't even decide if his scam is for a donation, a grant or a prize.  Which I'm sure you know are three different things.

Just ignore this scammer.  If you reply you will find yourself being asked for money.

A CONFIDENTIAL NOTIFICATION FOR YOU

"Barrister Marcus Hopkin" tells me he is a solicitor.  I think he'd better go back to law school.  I think lesson one would probably tell him the difference between a barrister and a solicitor (look it up on the internet if your country doesn't use the English/Welsh law system).

As a colleague of mine lost her sister and brother in law in the London bombings, I find this scam offensive - as are all scams which quote real disasters to add an air of fake authenticity.

This lowlife, scum bag of a scammer (apologies for language here folks) has no intention of sending you money.  He is just hoping you will fall for his scam and start sending him money.  Ignore him.

Good Day I am Barrister Marcus Hopkin & Co Solicitors(barrister.marcushopkin@gmail.com) who wish to present you as next of kin to my Client (PHILIP HOMES) who died on 7 July 2005 London bombings leaving (Eleven Million Pounds) in a Bank here in Europe and no next of kin to inherit the fund till now.Confirm this transaction at the BBC News website:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4661059.stm ) as I await your update for further details. Regards Barrister Marcus Hopkin CEO-Barrister Marcus Hopkin & Co Solicitors LONDON.

I am hoping

This scammer tells me the usual story:
1) they think "this letter may come to you as a surprise".  Wrong - I get scam letters every day.  They don't surprise me
2) they tell me the old, old tale of parents who died in horrible circumstances leaving millions of dollars

You get the idea, I'm sure.  "Miss Mgboli" is none of the things she claims.  She's a scammer - who is hoping you will fall for her story and start sending her money when she demands fees.

Just ignore her.

Dear Guardian,

    Good day to you over there, please permit me to inform you of my desire to go into this relationship with you. Though this letter may come to you as surprise, since you don't know me personally before, but please kindly open your mind to help me and treat me like your own daughter and family. It is by the special grace of God that I found your contact recently, because it is going to be very difficult for me to find a sincere person to entrust on this urgent request transaction and to help me out of my affliction today.  I am Miss. THERESA MGBOLI, the only daughter of late Mr. And Mrs. FRANCIS MGBOLI. My father was a Diamond merchant in most countries of Southern Africa and my home country Angola where he also was involved in sales of blood diamond for rebel soldiers who used the money for the purchasing of ammunitions during the war crisis in my country that lasted for 27 years. My mother died when I was a baby as i was been delivered and since then my father took me so special.
Before the death of my f

However that I should seek for a foreign partner in a overseas/foreign country where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management, hotel management or property buying. I am in sincere desire need of your humble assistance in this regards presently. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

(1)Can you help me for the retrievement of this fund on my behalf from the security custody and to help me to provide a bank account in which this fund would be transferred into in your country?
(2)Can you stand as my guardian since I am only 20 years old?
(3)Can you make an arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my Education and to secure a resident permit in your country?
(4) Can you honestly take me as your own and help me? 
(5) Can I completely trust you?
(6) What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible e-mail: tessmgboli@hotmail.co.za, so that i can forward the documents to you which are now in my possession, only after we have agreed on the conditions for your assistance. My life was not safe in Angola so decided to relocate to the said country which my father told me the consignment was been deposited and held for safe keeping. I need to be out of here as soon as possible because now that my father is dead and with me only as a female child, my uncles and other surviving relatives are seeking to kill me so that they can have all my fathers' properties. I really don't want to struggle anything with them in terms of properties but my presence will still be disturbing them. Thank God they are not aware of this fund in the security company. I am waiting for your urgent reply with your contact phone number, and then i can also give you the contact of the security company for you to contact them on my behalf as my guardian an
d the receiver of the con

I am hoping to hear from you, best regards and I remain yours respectful one.

Hello

Yet another scammer who thinks his message will "come to you as a surprise".  I can't imagine why he would think that.  I get scam emails everyday from people wanting to take money from me.  This scammer can't even be bothered to make up a name for his/herself.

Just ignore this - there is no money - just a scammer wanting to take your money by charging you fees.
