"Janella Spears wiped out her husband's retirement account, remortgaged their paid-for house, and took out a lien against the family car in an attempt to cash in on the deal. A undercover officer involved with the investigation called it the worst example of the scam he's ever seen. Thoughtfully, Spears has gone public with her story as a warning to others not to fall victim."

I don'ts have stamps or me would!!! :wink:
 
It is estimated between 5-15 billion has been transferred overseas due to these kinds of scams. Wouldn't take much with 400k at a time. Looks like the developed country needs to take some lessons from the developing country.

I think they already did.... I got scammed into paying for a big party for AIG execs.
 
Unbelievable. I can't believe people actually fall for this. 400k?? Wow.

I guess I can't blame her. If my grandmother knew how to use email, I think she'd be tricked too. Luckily, she can barely operate the remote control for her TV.
 
But sure as FU CK the dumb bitch wont help out an american. She was just looking to make more $$$$ serves her right for being a jacka$$

Probably the case, but in the article she said she wanted to use the money to help others. ha.
 
400k is being routed back to her in the US and she will also get to keep all the donations she cons out of the bleeding hearts.:wink:

It always amazes me how greedy people are. I have people offer me money all the time to invest for them. Some people hardly even know me yet they are willing to give me their money. I see how some of these scam artist types can rip so many people off just from the givers greed.

If there is one thing I have witnessed more than any other it's "greedy people always finish last"

Please return my $100k ASAP :wink:
 
I scammed a Nigerian one time. I got 12 goats and a daughter.

Seriously, I used to open the mail for the acct. dept. in a large oil firm. I had a really large pile of Nigerian scam letters. I collected them as a hobby.

Some retarded nigerian scammer tried to have me send my projector to them.... they try to use ebay too to get away with it.

For the price we agreed on I said sure just give me your address, send the money to my account on paypal, and I'll ship the projector. Couple of days later they say "Okay thanks I have sent the money so please send me the projector" they gave me an address in Africa. I never received payment so I was like "Sorry I'm not sending anything until paid" The scammer tried the whole, "since your not sending the item and I have paid, I'm going to take legal actions against you unless you send the item within 48hrs"... Then the scammer said, "That they spoke with ebay suport and that ebay has the payment on hold. Once I sent the projector they would put the money into my account, to make sure things went through correctly."

I even received an fake email with a very convincing look but still found it iffy. So I personally called ebay myself and asked about it. They asked me to send them the email and I did. A day later I get a email back from ebay saying that was a fake email and that I'm not obligated to send the projector out. So after that I send an email back to that person with some verbally explicit stuff saying how much I hate scammers and I hope you get caught...

A good lesson for me since now I have a sense of what is a fake offer and what is real... unfortunately the real ones tend to be less than half of what your asking for lol....
 
I get emails from these guys all the time and it's easy to pick them apart with all the grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. They need to organize with English speaking people but defiantly stay away from Unions because that will bankrupt them for sure, just ask GM about that.
