    Hey remember the old scam where your will get millions of dollars transferred to you if you just send your bank information and you keep the money except what they want you to send back to them?

    Well the scammers have changed it up a bit, now they offering ATM cards. :D

    This is the newest scam I received.

    Has anyone got this new one yet?

    I wonder how many people will fall for this one. :rolleyes:

    thats a new one to me.
    But I dont normaly open any unsolicited mail.

    I doubt many would fall for such a thing, and the ones that do are probably so dumb that they will have very little money in there accounts :)

    Somebody must fall for these because these type of scams have been going on for years. :confused:

    It is all about playing on greed I guess.

    One thing I notice is their English standards are getting higher and higher. It is no longer Yoda type of English. Quite fluent nowadays.

    I receive 2 or 3 mails daily stating that my ATM card is ready for shipment or I had won a lottery with prize money running into some millions. I do not show any reaction to such false claims. I will simply mark it as spam and then delete :)
