Advance -fee Fraud aka Nigerian Letter Scam

There are no short cuts to a better life.
Whatever that means.
We are born. We work. We die.

 

Exactly who are these gullible people?

Sending their hard earned,

and much needed savings to con artists?

Believing some anonymous person

would actually offer them millions of dollars

that is just languishing in a foreign bank,

as a result from the opportune demise,

of some strangers dearest and most benevolent,

but suddenly departed, loved one.

 

Seriously!

 

Go spam someone else.

I’ll keep my privacy,

and my bank account,

Private.

 

 

*********************

 

 

(Please everyone, familiarize yourself with all the variations on the advance-fee email scam. There are many tools on the Internet that can help you. But, if you get an email asking for access to your bank account, or asking for you to wire a small amount of money, in exchange for millions of dollars -- DELETE IT.

More info can be found at the link below.)

Why I hate spam. ANY spam. If I don't know the sender, I don't read it -- just delete. Safer that way. :(

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

As Jude says this has been going on a long time but there are still those who fall for the scams and the vultures feed on them so it is important to say what you say.
Good to see you back posting, Sara.

Sara, I can't believe that anyone with a ounce of sense would fall for this now. A few years ago, possibly, but now?
I'm sure anyone that would fall for this scam, reading your warning will thank you.

this has been going on for many many years ... it's unbelievable people still fall for it ... but then again, there are many newcomers to the computers and the internet like the aged and the very young, so i guess this reminder is important to all of those who may not yet comprehend the fraud and abuse ...

Bravo! Absolutely Sara, I constantly receive (fraudulent e-mails) from scammers arriving in my spam. I use a simple equation to save time: SPAM = DELETE

Thank you for posting.

Best, Stuart :)
