Hi How are you doing? I will try to be brief and laconic. I am Benson Wong, a Malaysian lawyer. My late client died in 2003 leaving behind a large sum of money to the tune of Eight Million six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars. I contacted you because you have the same family name as my late client. With your help we can claim the above mentioned financial estate else the bank will confiscate the funds due to the fact that up till now, I cannot get a hold of anyone related to the deceased. Should my proposal offend you or contradict your moral ethics, I apologize. Should you be interested and wish to help, kindly get back to me. Pleas contact me via my private email ----- bensonwongc@gmail.com ---- Regards, Benson Wong.

I love getting these messages, I have ways of dealing with them - check out http://www.419eater.com/

have you heard of scam baiting?

ah talldub beat me to it lol, i was goign to reccomend that site as well

I reply, asking for addresses, phone numbers, relatives names and locations, bank numbers, bank, laws pertaining to laundering money for their country (typically India).

It's great fun, I keep them going for as long as possible and then when they press for contact details I usually give them contact details for the Nigerian Embassy!

I prefer just to report, ignore and delete

Each to their own, scam baiting wastes their time and, hopefully, prevents them from moving on to others that are more naive.

Just got this one :

fifty Thousand United States Dollars, ($850,000.00) for this year 2008

I am sorry for laughing Tom


< not really, though >


because it is prevalent & so ridiculous



what are they thinking?




i did get one of those requests


recently in my hotmail account....


after literally years of none of those


and i was very surprised

I am not cleaning this up, but folks, edit the contact info out of your postings.

Now, i want you guys to listen to me.. I turn these people in every day on yahoo.

I know...we think they are stupid right? These people are far from stupid. They are part of a network, There is no tracing of ip's, most ip search systems do not go that far.

What i'm trying to tell you all, is that these people are signing into workstations. Each time they sign in, another ip is issued. The only way to know where the ip came from, is through the system admin. You can bet that info will not be given out.

If you are not ready for them, my best advice is to block them and report.

Charles is very good at spotting them here. But i'm telling you all, these people may seem stupid...but the ring leaders of the scam circle are extremely dangerous, including kidnapping and murder.

Do not interact with these people, i do it because i can, i do not recommend anyone have any dealings whatsoever with these scammers.

Thanks for your time in reading.

Mark

oh...Wow...!!!!!!!!! kidnap & murder


heavy doings ...not just little stuff


big time crooks.....ooooohhh nasty





thanks for stopping by Mark & for the info
