A few weeks ago I received a message on my smartphone telling me I was owed money for the PPI (payment protection insurance) that I'd taken out. I have never had PPI so I knew the message was, at the very least, less than truthful.
I added a post to my main antiscam blog - you can see it here - and within hours the post was receiving hundreds of visitors.
It seems that PPI claims are big business because a few days ago I did a little investigation into an online film site that someone left me a complaint about (here's the complaint). I signed up using an online email address that I reserve for corresponding with scammers. Within hours, and I do mean hours, my scam email address was being flooded with emails promoting PPI claim services.
All these emails are unsolicited. All are being sent by the same service
These are the sites that have so far sent me emails, along with a few details about them
fasttrackppi.co.uk Registered 4 Nov 2011. Site claims they are based in Stanmore
www.ppiclaimcompany.co.uk Registered on 1 Feb 1995. The email contains what appears to be a fake unsubscribe link as it takes you to http://counseling4usa.info
ppiadviceline.co.uk Registered on 12 Nov 2010. The email claims it was sent from Jacksonville FL, but their site claims they are based in Bradford, Yorkshire
charterhouseclaims.com/ Registered on 20 Octo 2008. An interesting email this. The links are all routed via insideboxingdisaster.com. At least one of the links leads to part of the site that is infected with a Trojan (my antivirus software blocked it).
There was one more, but that was routed via a site called "strategyelevate.com" which appears to have been taken down.
One thing I've noticed that all the above sites have in common is that ALL they contain is one page with a box for you give them your name and address.
None of them have any pages telling you about the company, or their staff, or their address.
If you feel you were mis-sold PPI, the Money Saving Expert website has all the information you need to make a claim yourself - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/ppi-loan-insurance
If you feel you need help with your claim, don't use a random (potentially fake) company that sends you a text or an email. Ask your bank, solicitor or financial advisor to recommend a "real" claims company.

I hope you don't believe that anyone who writes to you telling you that they have millions of dollars for you is genuine. Because they aren't. They are all scammers and should all be ignored.

Oh look, someone from one of the poorest regions on earth has $25m dollars that I can have. Does that sound likely? Of course it doesn't. Ignore this scammer, who is after your money.
Hello dear,
I know I may appear to you like a stranger but before i will proceed to
sharing my message with you,i will like to formerly introduce myself.
My Name is Mrs. Doris Mbono,I am the Wife of Mr David Mbono, from Darfur
Region,Sudan. My husband was the owner of Omar Sea Food Industry in Darfur
which supplies most Central African Countries with sea food till it was
discovered by the Rebels forces in Darfur that portion of farmland which
my husband has located the business was rich in Oil and Mineral Resources.
As a result of the oil discovered in the land,the Government and Rebel
Movement started having misunderstanding over who will take control of the
land.
This led to war in Darfur and the the rebels started killing people in
Darfur.In the process my husband was murdered in cold blood and the Farm
land and the Sea Food Industry located on it were taken over by the
rebels and burnt down.
Prior to the crisis, my husband had moved ( US$25.500,000) Twenty-Five
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars to South Africa which
he deposited in a private Security & Finance Company in the name of my son
Mr. Jerry Mbono as the beneficiary.
The Rebels has murdered my husband believing no member of the family will
challenge their authority over the land but we the rest members of the
family has stood in resistance against them.As a result of our
resistance,the rebels has been tracing to kill me and my son my son.
We decided to flee Darfur to Johannesburg, South Africa to seek Asylum
(Refugees).
We do not have any other possession save for the money my husband has
deposited in the security company in South Africa.
All the documents issued when my husband has deposited the consignment of
the fund has been handed over to our family Lawyer in South Africa who
has assisted my late husband in depositing the consignment with the
security company.
The financial laws in South Africa on Refugees do not warrant us as
refugees to invest the funds here and we cannot operate any bank account
either.
For this reason we decided to look for a Foreign Partner who will assist
us in moving the funds out of South Africa for my family investment. In
our search for a reliable person,we got your contact from the world
chamber of commerce directory in South Africa.
We believe we could have a good relationship with you. We have decided to
offer you 25% of the total amount, 5% mapped out to defray all expenses
that will be incurred during the course of the transaction, while the
remaining 70%will be for my family and will be invested in your country
under your management.
I know this message may have come to you as a surprise but please see it
as an avenue to help a widow to evacuate her money to a safer place for a
life time investment since we cannot go back to Sudan again.
I will like you to reply me urgently so i will give you more information
on how you will proceed to get the money from the security company and
transfer it to your country .
Please reply in my private email account (dorismbono@gmail.com)
i will be expecting to hear from you,
Have a nice day
With Love from
Mrs Doris Mbono

This scammer is clearly a nutcase. He tells me that a "cool penny" is better than "millions of dollars" and then proceeds to tell me he wants to send me ................. a penny????? ........................ no - half a million dollars!!!
As he says - it is "better for one to live and die a poor honest man". Something that he will doubtless find out for himself when the Police come knocking on his door and he finished up in a disgusting jail cell somewhere.
Ignore this idiot.
From Mr.Lucio Neto
I Am Mr.Lucio Neto senior staff with the central bank of Nigeria
(CBN). I am writing you this letter because cool penny is better than
millions of dollars.
It is better for one to live and die a poor honest man than a rich
dishonest one. I have arranged with an officer in the computer section
of this bank,Mrs Sheila Jones to bring out part of your total contract
sum amounting to $5million us dollars.
Why we did this, is because according to information gathered from
the banks computer, you have been waiting for a long time to receive
your money without success, as I found out that you have almost met all
the statutory requirements of the CBN in respect of your contract
payment, your problem is that of interest groups.
I am willing to help you get your money but please for security
reasons do not tell anybody that you have your money until you receive
cash at your doorstep.
This is something we want to avoid because the boxes were padded
with machine. We told the courier service that the boxes contains
photographic and film materials and when opened will loose its efficacy.
We did not declare money because courier service does not carry money.
In your subsequence response I shall send you the details of the
courier company which will be in charge of the delivery to your
location, we have concluded that you must compensate us with $500,000
United States dollars as soon as you receive your money. To this effect,
you will send us a promissory note for $500,000 United States dollars
along with your address for sending the boxes by courier. Please
maintain topmost secrecy as it may cause a lot of problems if found out
that we are using this way to help you, do not ever tell anybody about
this until you have your money.
You are required to re-confirm the under listed details as soon as possible for onward shipment of your over due contract fund:
Your full name:
Private telephone number:
Choice of address {where you wish the consignment delivered}:
God is with us as we wait for your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Lucio Neto

YOUR CONTRACT PART-PAYMENT/ US$10.5MILLION
Do you really think that someone from a bank that genuinely owes you millions of dollars would send you an email asking "How are you today"? I don't think they would and I don't think they would email you.
You know you aren't expecting millions of dollars from Nigeria - neither am I. Ignore this scammer, whose aim is to steal your money by charging you "fees".

Best Regards, Mr. Obinna Olisah Director Foreign Remittance (CBN)
YOU DID NOT RESPOND TO MY LAST EMAIL?
There are two good reasons why I "did not respond" to this idiot's last email. Can you guess what they are?
1) He's a scammer
2) There was no "last email".
He's hoping you will fall for his ridiculous story. He isn't a banker in London, or anywhere else. He's a scammer from Manchester who is hoping you will start sending him money.
Good Day,
You did not respond to my first mail, but I decided to write you again
in case you did not receive the first one.
Please I want to know if am talking with the right person, I am
asking this because I have an information that will be of help to you,
Once again My Name is James Williams I am a banker from London.
I do not know if I am talking to the right person, but I will like you
to confirm if you are the owner of this email ID. Already I have your
name and details in our file in the office, all I want is a
confirmation from you that I am communicating with the right owner of
this email.
I will furnish you with the information that I have for you, when I am
convinced I am talking to the right person. I am taking this
preventive measure because I do not want to talk to the wrong person
because of the sensitivity of the information regarding the issue.
I am looking forward to your response.
Best Regards,
James Williams.

You know as well as I do that you don't have an "over due fund" anywhere. This is a scammer who is hoping you will be daft enough to be taken in by their ridiculous story and will start sending them money. That's what this scammer wants - your money. Ignore him.
Attention: Beneficiary,
This is to notify you that your over due fund has been gazetted to be released, via key telex transfer (KTT)-direct wire transfer to you or through any of our correspondent banks nominated by the senate committee for foreign fund transfer.
Meanwhile, a woman came to my office few days ago with a letter,claiming to be your true representative and she also said that you were dead.

Don't you find it a little strange that someone from Nigeria, using a Polish email address, would email you out of the blue offering you $48m?? I'm sure you find it more than a little strange. Let's try totally unbelievable. That's the one. Unbelievable.
As I'm sure you've realised, this scammer doesn't have $48m. He'd like to, of course, and he's hoping you will start sending him your money to contribute towards the total. Ignore him.

RE: TRANSFER OF ($48,223.000.00 USD} FORTY EIGHT MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS) INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties.
My name is MR. JOHN PHILIPS,I work as the personal manager in account management section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in Nigeria. On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a Balance Of S$48,223,000. 00 (Forty eight million two hundred and twenty three thousand U.S dollar). On further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has died long ago with his family on a plane crash leaving no beneficiary to the account and no other person knows about this account.
I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who is my partner and he is willing to approve the transfer to any reliable and trustworthy foreigner with foreign bank account because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from Australia in particular. I am certainly sure that he has no written or oral WILL attached to the account, no beneficiary and nobody will come again for the claim of this money. It is only a foreigner who can claim this money with legal claims to the account holder, which I will provide to you if you are interested, therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. The difference in country of origins is not a hindrance to the success of this transaction. This money will remain useless in this dormant account if I did not transfer the fund out to a foreign account.
I will provide the necessary information and documents needed in order to claim this money. I only need your cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank account information for the transfer. All arrangement that will ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the account, which you are to nominate, is already in place. You should also provide me with your direct phone lines for easy communication. I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction.
At the conclusion of this transaction, your share will be 30% of the total transfer sum, 60% for my partner and me while 10% will be set aside for any expenses both parties might incur during the process of the transfer. The fund will be transferred to your account in two parts. I will first transfer $20USD Million to your account. I will fly over to meet you after the successful transfer for sharing according to the agreed percentages. I will have the remaining balance of USD$28,223 Million transferred to your account only after the successful sharing of the first transfer without any disappointment from your side.
Let me hear from you URGENTLY.
For further inquiries contact me through my private email address: (okophils@o2.pl)
Let all email be through my private email address

Consignment Delivery
Oh surprise, this money belongs to someone in Nigeria. Not. If "Stanley Harrison" had discovered millions of dollars, why on earth would he want to share it with you? He'd keep it himself, wouldn't he? There is no such person, this is a scammer, hoping to get his hands on your cash. Ignore him
Hi,
I am Stanley Harrison, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities here at the Heathrow International Airport
London UK. I am contacting you regarding an abandoned consignment box in our storage facility and the
custom scan report of the box revealed an undisclosed sum of US dollar bills in which could be approximately 2-3million dollars. The consignment box was abandoned here by a diplomat who was on transit to your country due to lack of proper delivery clearance paper and his inability to pay the required fee of Ј 4,700pounds on the diplomatic consignment box for clearance delivery. Further information reaching our office revealed that the consignment belong to a Nigerian oil magnet who died along the DANA AIR Disaster in Lagos Nigeria, Mr. Levi Ajuonuma.
I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned box so that we can transact this as a deal and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me. I want you to provide me your full name, phone Number and full address and the nearest airport close to you, with your information I will change the details in the official document to match in your name as the beneficiary, Immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the clearance delivery Fee of Ј4,700pounds and arrange for the box to be delivered to you Or I can bring it myself to ensure a safe delivery but you have to assure me of my 30% share of the total money in the box. I can get everything concluded within 3-5days upon your acceptance. All communication must be held extremely confidential to ensure a successful delivery. We will ONLY communicate through email, No telephone conversation to avoid any mistakes.
Regards
Do send the required details to my private email address (stanley273@inbox.lv) for quick processing and deivery. I will give you a call when I get your response. I wait to hear from you urgently.

I am Mr Christopher Davis , the coordinator, State Disbursement Committee, United States Of America. We have full details of who you are but choose to notify you without full details to be sure we are dealing with the right person.

In view of this, your payment was approved as you were one of the beneficiaries with outstanding payment and was therefore credited with an ATM card number: 4000 0012 3456 7890 and personal identification (PIN): 6720 worth One Million United State Dollars ($1,000,000.00 USD) provide the following information to enable us verify your payment.
We therefore reckoned that you can receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed and signed the moment we get a formal notification from you comprising your;

Re:Lady Anneka! related to her?
I don't know what a "sure name" is, and I'm sure you'll notice that this scammer doesn't tell you what Lady Annekas surname is. That's because she didn't have a surname - she didn't exist. She's a figment of this scammer's imagination.
This scammer is hoping that you will fall for the idea of being related to a "Lady" and will start asking you for money if you reply.
Good day!
My name is Mr.Howard, attorney and legal practitioner based here in UK.My late client, Lady Anneka died in 2002 leaving an intestate which has remained unclaimed since there is no relation found here.
I was directed to you by your country's embassy here in UK as the most probable relative by ancestral lineage and also by sharing the same sure name with you.Presently,the bank is asking to transfer the estate as unclaimed as the law requires to the government if none comes up to lay claim to this
intestate within the stipulated time as accepted by the law of UK.
I have all the necessary documentation relating to this deposit and i have rechecked with you with your consulate and can posit that you may be related to her by ancestral lineage.
Please get back to me for more details and further discussion on how to achieve this successfully.
Best Regards
I remains,

This scammer appears to have read my previous post (obviously, he hasn't really read it) and is offering me a little under $10m. Yet another scammer who thinks that telling me I have money due from Benein (or Nigeria or Cote'D'Ivoire) makes his story sound believable.
When, I wonder, will a scammer write and tell me I have money due from a rich person in Monaco or Andorra? (Let's wait and see if the scammers are reading this!)

The last scammer (see previous post) offered me $22.5m. This one only wants to send me £750k. Sorry, but I don't get out of bed for less than $5m these days. It's suuuuuuch a bore keeping track of all these multi-millions of dollars. Not!
Obviously I don't have all these millions of dollars, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here typing this - I'd be living in a gorgeous, rural retreat with servants to cater to my every whim.
Just ignore this scammer. You can't win a lottery or drwa that you haven't entered and no organisation, anywhere holds random email draws. This is a scammer who wants you to send him money.

Somehow I would imagine that the "Regional Manager" of the "Bank of England" would be able to write in grammatically correct English. It's also clear that this scammer has no knowledge of the English legal system.
You know that you aren't expecting an inheritance payment of $22.5m. If you were, it wouldn't have gone to the Bank of England, would it? You would receive an official letter from your solicitor.
I also find it unlikely that a high ranking Bank of England official would use a gmail email address - don't you?
Ignore this scammer whose only aim is to get his hands on your money by charging you fees.ALLAN BOBEY REGIONAL MANAGER Bank of England Threadneedle Street London EC2R 8AH +447023058751 July 16th,2012 Your Ref:.............. ATTENTION: BENEFICIARY, Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you, firstly, I will like to introduce myself officially as Mr. ALLAN BOBEY The Regional Manager of Bank of England You are been officially contacted today because your Inheritance/contract Funds was Re-deposited into the "Federal Suspense Account" of Bank of England last week, because you did not proceed with your Claim as the Rightful beneficiary which is well known to the board and management team of Bank of England. Three men came to my office yesterday in connection of your inheritance/contract fund and these men were unexpected by me because their visit was out of official appointment. I had to ask them why they came to see me in person and they said that they were here to claim the Inheritance/contract sum of (US$22.5m) which rightfully belongs to you as your inheritance/contract title on your behalf, at this development I asked them who authorized them to come down to England for the claim to honestly this was the biggest shock that this Bank has ever received so far because your Inheritance/contract Funds is still in the "Federal Suspense Account" of Bank of England, yet you sent these men to come and claim this Funds on your behalf without any official notice to authorize and permit this bank to do and execute your inheritance/contract sum to the three men whom you authorized to claim your fund on your behalf. This Bank does not understand why you sent these men to come and claim your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you claim your Inheritance Bill Sum, at least you should have notified my office so that we will act accordingly. They actually tendered some Vital Documents which proved that you actually sent them for the claim of this Fund. Honestly, it really baffles me that you took such decision without my consent. Here are the Document which they tendered to this Bank today. 1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION. 2. HIGH COURT INJUNCTION. 3. ORDER TO RELEASE. Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Bank are Proves that you sent them to claim this Fund for you. Finally, I gave them an appointment next week, in order to contact you for verification and authorization before releasing this fund to them. As the Manager of this Bank of England, I was supposed to Release this Funds to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any mistake in releasing this Fund to anyone except you whom is the recognized beneficiary to this Fund. Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners who came on your behalf. In receipt of this confidential Letter, you are required to get back to me immediately to enable us proceed with the payment or cancel the payment in their favor and wait for your next instruction.

Another scammer who thinks that telling me he comes from Nigeria and has millions of dollars in a "silver trunk box" ready for me is going to make me believe him. It doesn't. I'm not expecting millions of dollars from Nigeria, or anywhere else. Neither are you.
If you make the mistake of replying this scammer will start asking you to send him money.
(He might have a wee spot of bother landing at my "closest airport". I live in a rural area and it's a landing strip in a field.)

I await your urgent reply, Yours in Christ, Mrs. Margaret Bennett

I can't imagine that the "Secretary to the United Nations", no less a person than Ban Ki-Moon would start an email with "How are you today?".
I hope you don't really believe that this email is from him. It isn't. It's from a scammer who wants to get his hands on your hard earned cash by charging you "fees".
