(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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Mr. Wang Qin, iScammer from Hong Kong
I think this is the first time I receive a 419 type of scam mail from Hong Kong. It is of the no next of kin type. A large sum of money has been left with no heirs, and the scammer wants to ”save” the money from supposedly corrupt and greedy government officials. The recepient […]
