Reverse scamming, or scam baiting is a dangerous pass time, but can be rather fun, at leas at 419eater.com. The scambaiters over at 419eater.com are doing a great job at scamming any 419 scammer they can get their hands on. I have followed them with interest, even though I’m not one of those with enough […]
iScams - scams on the internet
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.
What on earth is a machant?
10/15 2005 – FROM MR wood frank, This scammer seems to have gotten hold of a form mail with markers like {insert name here} and {insert title here}. The guy sending out this particularly spammy and badly written scam spam has made som many mistakes that I just cannot believe that anybody can fall for […]
InternetBank NORDEA sakerhetssystem
Jag kan verkligen inte förstå varför det blev ett sånt hallå kring det rätt enkla bedrägeriförsöket som Nordea-kunder har blivit utsatta för. Mailet som uppmanar Nordea-kunderna att gå in på bluffsajten för att ”autentifisera” sina uppgifter är ju rent skrattretande dåligt skrivet. Möjligen är det återigen något av de där automatiska översättningsprogrammen som spökar igen, […]
Maria Jose Sanchez, Afriglobal
I’m wondering if how to take the fact that I, during the last couple of days have received a few lottery mails where the scammers actually seem to know my name. Alas, only my first name, since they want me to send in my full name, my phone and fax nummer as well as my […]
Dr. Maggi Hinges, Globe Net Lottery International BV
Nowdays, I don’t publish every single lottery scam I receive. It’s a sad fact, but this site would look way to boring if I did. These iScams just don’t have enough ingenuity and originality to be worth publishing. But hey, I just have to pop the question: Who would even start thinking the below mail […]
Barrister Abbey Martins
It’s always a bit strange when `good friends´ need your name and address. It’s even stranger when lawyers want to do business worth 20 million dollars with a total stranger. If Barrister Martins indeed exists, I’m sure he would use very different techniques for laundring money though… As always with this kind of scam mails, […]
Open redirectors as a tool for scammers
How would you classify the below URL? http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com As belonging to Google or as one belonging to eBay? It leads into eBay.com, but it goes there via Google… Well, how about this one: http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindqvist.com/ url/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com Horrible, isn’t it? It’s somehow associated with Google, ends up at eBay and it’s not quite clear what the www.lindqvist.com […]
Peter Edwards – the beneficial scammer
Here’s another example of the new trend of beneficial iscammers. The ones that pretend that they have lead a vile life, but now turned into do-gooders, and want your help to distribute their money to worthy charity organizations. Besides. If I where an iScammer, I wouldn’t be sending out my baits on April first…
Mrs. Marie Wambekh – a passionate 419 scammer
Mrs. Marie Wambekh is probably, passionate or not, the originator of this 419 scam email from Benin. But lets pretend she is, and that she is. The mail pretends to be a reply to a mail that I should have sent her in response for an original mail. Now let’s get this clear. I never […]
Nera Wangushi of Yokozuna Financial Consultancy
Here is a Japanese variation of the ”lost relative” scam, sent to two different email addresses. None of them displaying the To recipient, but both publicly available on the www. It’s a very strange setup, and I doubt it will actually work out very well. Also, didn’t these scammers stop even for a second to […]
