En kärleksförklaring till Internet sedan 1997 // Nikke Lindqvist
The web is allways full of gullable people, just like you and I. And there are lots of scammers ready to try to cheat us on our money.
Länkar du till bedragarsajter från sajter? Det gjorde jag till alldeles nyss och jag tackar Peter Forsman för att han just uppmärksammade mig på det. Det är de två sajterna svenskbil.com och fordonspris.com marknadsför sig hårt på AdWords. Peters efterforskningar visar att det är samma personer som ligger bakom, som tidigare drev fordonsvarderingen, bilpris.com och bilenspris.
I don’t get enough lottery scam mails these days. So few that I almost like it when I get mail from people like the alias Dan Singh, who tries to get me to believe that I have won ”Eight Hundred And Fifty Thousand Pounds Sterling ” (not my capitalization). Furthermore Dan Sing sends his mail from a free Canadian e-mail service but wants my reply to a UK free e-mail service. One could expect that someone handling a million dollars would have access to a mail domain of his own…
Ahmed Al Asiri seems to be living in the past. A past, when 419ers where roaming the internet with their wonderful confidental letters bearing wonderful news about inheritances tat where to be collected and hidden funds that need a proxy for a bank transfer.
It’s been quite some time since I last found any of these in my mail, but my new-found 0inbox policy reveals them in a new way, and since the iScam section of this site needs a new contribution, I thought Ahmed’s mail about trying to scam the National Bank of Abu Dhabi for 12 million US dollars that ”the late Mr. Thomas Stone” deposited there before he died.
Det pågår en rätt välgjord phishing-attack där Twitter-användare luras att ange sitt lösenord och blir av med sina konton. Två av mina Twitter-bekanta har idag skickat mig länkar som tyder på att deras konton har blivit kapade, och som försöker lura mig att uppge mitt lösenord för bedragarna.
Är YCDBSOYA.com ett bedrägeri eller är det helt resultatet av ofiltrerade drömmar från någon som för länge sedan tappade kontakten med hur webben har utvecklats sedan 1999?
The US Federal Trade Commission, FTC, recently reported that they have cracked down on the Google Money Tree pyramid scam as a part of Operation Shortchange. Great news!
Summer and winter are the haydays for various scammers. Here’s a fresh one. ”Governor James Ibori” wants a partner, but doesn’t seem to even know my e-mail address (since the mail is sent to a non-disclosed email list). Just another scam, and of course worthy of a mention here at Nikke’s Index…
You have to give this Nigerian scammer some respect for being so brief in his pitch. However, I don’t think he will get that many replies, wich of course is a good thing in itself! I kind of like his method of sending from an msn mail address and taking replies from Yahoo! mail too. [...]
The Windsor Star has an interesting article about a 419 scam. John Rempel, Leamington John Rempel from Leamington has fallen hard for one of these scams and I quite admire his courage for coming out publicly to talk about how he was scammed. And I do feel with him. We need some examples like this so that people actually understand that some of these scams are actually carried through.
If you aren’t a scammer, and want to hook up with people for a legitimate business proposition, I have a few pointers to give you, like using a legitimate e-mail address, addressing people directly and not through an undisclosed email recipiant list. David Adams has done the oposite in this mail that just landed in my inbox…
This is a perfect example of a classic 419 scam. You get a proposition from a distinguised banker. It’s a proposition you shouldn’t rightfully get and it involves a lot of money. You don’t have any relatives who have died in any car accidents in Birmingham, but the seed of a thought awakens in your [...]
