I just got an email from Chief Risk Officer and Executive Director of China Guangfa Bank in Hong Kong, James Morrow. He needs to hide $49 and a HALF million in my bank acct so the po po in Hong Kong can't find it. Seems like a solid plan to me. So, what should I buy first? I've always wanted to own PEI.

Sounds like a great deal ;-), until you read this...

Good chance everybody involved gets a 9mm to the back of the head.
 
Some years ago I was a juror in a trial where a man sent money, not once, not twice, but three times to the scammers overseas, and the third time he had a colleague add money to the pot because he didn't have enough left to meet their demands. The colleague, with the help of the US Gov., brought the lawsuit against the poor guy after she realized she'd been duped. Just to make things interesting for us jurors, the US taped the conversations between the colleagues, all of which were in mandarin chinese. Not guilty.
 
You are gonna have to split it with me, I got the same email. Send me your bank account & info so I can get back to them ASAP before someone else gets in on the deal.
 
Ahhh...yes, the ol' 'I have a ton of money for you I just need you to send me some to cover the paperwork and fees. Just send me the money and your bank account info.'

We scan about 6.5mil emails annually with about 20% of them dropped as SPAM/Malware. What is concerning to me is their increasing level of sophistication to evade detection and just how real some of these 'amazon invoices' or 'paypal invoices' look. Sad how many get duped by these clowns...

This guy trolls nigerian scammers and makes them do silly things then posts up the results. People will do anything for a buck.

When these scams first started to hit emails rather than the mail, a manager for a fishing co-op in Homer, AK fell for it. Over the course of months she sent all the seasonal funds stockpiled by the group of fisherman to the scamers promissing large returns on her investments. She was tried and went to jail owing restitution to the fishermen. From what I can recall she took the scammers at their word and had no idea someone would do that to another human being.

they are getting more sophisticated, I got one last week from our credit card company- all the right logos, saying there had been an attempt to hack out account - and that i should click on the link and verify my log in information -- yeah right- well done except it came to a different account that we use with that bank, they would not have that one to send the warning to.

no one - no how- should ever use an email supplied link to access financial or sensitive sites. If you suspect something may be amiss, go to the site directly and check on it
