Recently im getting some emails from people that want me to help transfer money from one account to another. the amount i am talking about is bitween 3 mil and 15 mil. they claim you can keep some percentage (10% in most cases). They come up with some sad story that they cant do it themselfs or something like that. but most of the times this money is involved with criminal activities or even terrorism. you dont want to be involved with that want you? now dont think hey lets give it a try because you WILL be caught. where i live banks must report transfers above 8.000, and im sure that they have some sort of rule where you live. so be wise and dont get blinded by the money. Here is a example email:
I get a lot of these to. Everyone wanting to do business with me . I turn them all down. DP adsense is making me enough $$$.
Well i just thought it would be good to share. any advice on how to make some good $$$ with DP adsense?
I got one the other day that used the line, "I am a soldier in Iraq . . they had money of Sadam Husseins that they were trying to get out of the country" Please tell me know one actually falls for these?!! I had to give them credit for imagaination, though.
There is so many of these, there is even a web site dedicated on how to trick the scammers back in return www.419baiter.com. Quite funny, some of the ploys they used. Look at the photos of the scammers.
you are laughing my freind believed them and took from him 55,000$ and now sending to him email told him they want extra for the taxes i was really sad for him all we did is report the names to western union
This is a scam, they are asking you to do money laundering and such, your friend lost $55k because of this, IMHO he jolly well deserve to lose the money. It is dirty money in the first place.
Those are old scams they call it Nigeria Scam or something. But I know there are some around DP. I wrote a post about it. There are 2-3 guys who do it again and again over DP so watch out for 2x deal money
They work it a couple ways. Usually they say their money is tied up in these accounts and they need a certain amount to get the funds out so they ask you for that amount and then more and more. I talked to a lady that lost like $35,000. I also once sold a car online to a guy from Nigeria. He said it was worth a lot more over there being extremely popular in nigeria. He offered me $14,000 instead of blue book of $9,000. He sent me a check from a company in Canada that was supposedly his vehicle broker. I deposited the check but was suspicious because he sent me $4000 extra (total 18k) and told me I needed to send him back $4k so he could pay his broker. I asked the bank to hold the check and make sure it was legit. They called me after 7 days and then after 14 days and told me each time it was legit and I told them hold it because the guy was freaking out- like hurry up and send the 4k. 3 weeks from deposit they called me back and said it was counterfeit AND to top it off they charged me a bounced check fee of $34 even though I warned them over and over and never touched the funds. I closed the acct cus they pissed me off but only lost the bounced check fee--other wise the bank would have tried to collect the $18,000 from me. I talked to the FBI and they said there was no way to catch them and that I was lucky I didn't get burnt-I say I was smart. Moral: if they want to send you money - never ever take anything from your pocket to give to them or give them back even if it is suposedly this huge overage. If it's a freebie it's a freebie-dont send anything out and don't spend it -put it in your matress - cus the only recourse the bank will have to get thier money back from nigeria or wherever is through you.
One of the oldest scams. i have some fun reading them, still, it pisses me off when i think how people can go that low, and probabily some people inoccent people gets scammed.
I have gotten many emails like this over the past 6 years, I am aware that it is a scam but unfortunately there are any people who do not know it's a scam.
I think that next time I get one of those scam emails, I'll reply that I was just about to contact the sender to help me "transfer funds".
Yeap best to steer clear, firstly, these are dirty money even if it is true, secondly most of these are organized crimes, dangerous to deal with, thirdly for eg Nigerian 419 scams, the govt won't even help you even if you pursue the case to Nigeria because you are in breach of their laws doing money laundering. One lesson When something is too good to be true it aint and you really do not have so many long lost uncles and aunties who died remembering you and who are rich enough to leave you millions.
When have you ever had to pay to have some one pay you money. If that was case i should be paid everyday my utility bills come in. I get those emails all the time i wish they would figure out i will never read any of them
