(This is a classic!) Yesterday I didn’t win 1,000,000 Euro again. But some scammer is pretending to represent Microsoft in order to cheet me on a couple of hundred dollars. It’s a well known fact that lottery scammers use well known brand names and trademarkes in order to pull their lottery scams. I have previously […]

El Gordo de la Primitiva Lottery International Promotions Programmes
I won another lottery! I’ve actually stopped counting, and I don’t publish every congratulation email I get, since very many of them are clones of eachother, only sent to my different puplicly available email addresses. But this one is special. It is very explicit, and even came with a registration form, official looking, with a […]
Sani Bakoyo and the Shell Petroleum employee scam
How many times can you say urgent and confidential in one single scam mail without breaking your cover? Well it looks as if Mr. Sani Bakoyo didn’t know the limit. This is a true Nigerian 419 mail if I ever saw one, an it has it all. He is asking me to participate in illegal […]
Even more referral spamming domains blocked
02/13 2005 – I’m mildly surprised that the nofollow link attribute doesn’t keep the referral spammers from using more and more domains for their strange kind of marketing attempts.

Kelvin Spence has a wish to mend his […]
Mr. Cheung Pui has an obscured business suggestion
Mr. Cheung Pui, who claims to be a director at Hang Seng Bank, the second-largest bank in Hong Kong, has written me twice with the subject lines WRITE ME and CONTACT ME NOW. I won’t answer him, but in case you received a similar mail, I just thought you would maybe like to know that […]
Ms Kimaeve Lioudmila and Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Here is a new variation of the Mikhail Khodorkovsky series of scam mails. I think the aclaimed alleged (Ms. Kimaeve Lioudmila whow name is probably something else) has done her best in trying to obscure searches for her name, and therfor it is well worth publishing here in the iScam area of N!kke’s Index. Every […]
