Me Blog!

i been doing the whole scambaiting thing again. and I got one of them to call my satellite phone but I was in collitch when he rang. or I would have answered and he would be paying a few eur per minute to talk to me. what a terrible shame.

those +44 numbers are probably VoiP numbers or other redirected ones to Ghana. a lot of this shit goes down in Ghana these days for some reason

Seems to be nigh on impossible to make the distinction from any African country trying to scam the clueless.

Pity you couldn’t answer your guy. I’ve tried to bait a few of them but never received a reply back. Maybe I didn’t come across clueless enough!

I’m having a bit of fun at the mo with a “Mr Frank Lawrence Mark and my younger Sister Joyce” so far they have sent me their pictures ha ha ha! in return for my information they will lodge US $9.3 million into my account.
I’m playing “Thick As Shit” and its working, dunno how far it’ll go but I’ll keep you posted…
ps: I’ll be posting the update on the Gaelic/Imagine problem later on my blog.

Class! Let me know how far you get stringing them along. Where are they from? Or you probably can’t say at this stage.

Look forward to hearing about Imagine. I discovered problems with my DNS that might have caused it but since I changed DNS you still have the same problem.

dear sive r this is bashkim sopjani ive got an imail from you that ive whone some mony to be claimed i have send you the information you needet . can you write back ar call an

i dont know is this tru are not

Hello Bashkim,

It is not true:

I’m only replying to you because I noticed that you asked to receive a request to your post. I deleted your phone number from your first comment to protect your privacy.

I was writing an post here about an email that I got and you seem to have been sent the same e-mail. The email that we both got is not true. It is a fake and an attempt to get steal money by making it seem to be real.

The reason I wrote about it is to let people know that is is not real. My advice to you would be to say that no one can win a competition that they did not enter.

I wish you all the best.

Hi ,
These scams exploit those who are least able to look after themselves. I have an elderly mum with dementia who constantly falls for this type of thing. Even worse are the scratch cards found in popular magazines which ask you to ring a number to check your prize (worthless) at a cost of £1.50 a minute. Total £10. They are barely legal but the magazines they are in give them respectability.

Hi Alan,

I had never considered that some elderly people like your mother or those not with their full facultys might fall victim to these scams. The story like yours just makes me hate those scammers even more.

It just goes to show what low lifes that the people who run these scams are. It is certainly terrible when they prey on those who are most succeptible.

There should be a law about those other scratch cards. The Readers Digest seem to do something similar as well. It’s a shame when people try to capitalise on the weakness or disabilities of others.

The scratch card type of scam are not as well known as the typical lottery e-mail fraud mails. They are still sent with the post. I expect the baby boomers will have to get into their 80′s before they switch to e-mail

Hi guy,

Having been scammed myself for a large amount of money to a chinese scammer I decided to st up a forum to help keep people informed about the scams that are going on out there in the hope to help prevent others from being scammed like I was.

I feel that if enough people get together and share their stories, we might be able to prevent it from happening to others.

Thanks for taking thte time to read,

I am sick of getting scams telling me I have won money.

I have replied to all of them, but only to say they a ‘scum bags’ and go out and get a proper job.

Today I received a new one: Free National Lotto Company of Ireland. Sponsored by Microsoft, Intel, Toshiba, Dell computers etc.,

A very naive person could be easily ‘pulled into’ this one because they are using reputable companies as a support.

Any comments, perhaps notify the companies ?

Hi Maureen,

To be honest there is very little anyone can do. The companies mentioned will probably not do anything about it since the people who orchestrate these scams are very hard to track down. They usually add big companies names to try to add some credibility but of course commonsense would lend someone to wonder why are technology companies endorsing a lottery?

Sadly as Alan mentioned above the scammers target those people who are vulnerable.

As it happens I actually got another one in the post today from Holland naturally. 4 free scratch cards and a prize of up to $50m. All I have to do is send off a participation form to enter the euromillions draw! The sheer nerve of them.

Of course alarm bells should be ringing straight away as why anyone should pay dollars to enter the euromillions draw! The scammers themselves aren’t too bright either as they should know that as my address is in Ireland then I can just go to any lottery agent and play it myself.

Anyway I plan on writing another entry soon about the new one I got today. I never got to write about an Australian one that I received earlier in the year as I was actually contacted about it and unfortunately cannot go into detail.

was contacted by 2 ghana women scammers…1 was an actress ( supposedly )looking for money to buy a cam. one was called mary yeboah …and the other was called owusu sakyi….yet both women gave me the same mobile cell phone number…both dont talk to me anymore. thie is the mobile cell phone both women gave me…00233261539493
