That is really bad news, if your brother-in-law is speaking to them on the phone, and believes them. It may be too late, if he has already given them bank account or personal info, they are going to try to rip him off. Refer him to this Google search, "Yahoo award center, scam." Tell him to read consumer fraud reporting and a bunch of people are getting that scam email.
HAHAHAHA lol this is a smart scam i have not seen such thing ever . Now they started sending images also .Just call your bank and block payment transactions and your all bank cards . Hey pm and i will give you my phone number , just give them my number and say call us on that number . Lol they will gonna mad when i will talk to them .
Yes exactly!! They asked my brother for sending them 30,000 INR.. Just before 1 hour,i talked with them... You wont believe,they were drolled talking with me... There were some REAL TIME ABUSES and NICE KICKS Nice experience scolding someone likethis....
You should introduce this web site to your brother-in-law http://www.419baiter.com/ . After reading it I think he should know their typical modus operandi.
Paying money in order to get paid. Sounds too typical of a scam tactic. I don't know how you can convince your brother in-law but just tell him to.....use common sense and think hard....
This is not funny at all. I have a brother in law that received the same deal. he and his wife ended up sending AU$3000.00 to some bank account in Switzerland before I found out about it, and this was about 2 years ago. I also read in a local newspaper last month that 36 million dollars a year is sent to scammers this way from just one of the many states in Australia. What an incredible fraudulent but thriving industry this is!
