I’ve won the Irish Sweepstakes, the Euro-Lotto, inherited $200M from the king of Keisterland, and so much more. The money just keeps flying at me.

All they need is my name, address, SS, and bank routing number to deposit to!!!!!

I saw on TV where US citizens have lost BILLIONS of $$ in the last year to these scams.

And how about the emails that tell you your bank account (in a bank you don’t even use!) has been frozen and you need to log in and update your data. And the email is addressed to dear sir or hello......and the domain of the emails are always .eu or .ru or .de or someother s-hole country!

AAAARRRRRRR......gotta keep a weather eye out for them, matey!!!!!!!

If it weren't profitable, they wouldn't continue. There are suckers everywhere, and crooks to take advantage.

I have been getting bogus emails saying I bought something with paypal. Last time it was $300.00 per oz perfume. They then say if you did not make this purchase, or want to cancel it log onto this link. That is when they get you. They all are from New Zealand.

It should be the responsibility of the email provider to weed out the scammers.
They're the ones being paid for the service.

Yeah, got another one the other day telling me about all of the warrants out on me.This has happened to me too. I told them to come get me. 3 hots and a cot!
When I get a call from a strange #, I just pick it up but don't speak. This weeds out the VOX. It's humorous when a human is on the line- they meekly say......hello?.....

I got an email from a manufacturer in Taiwan (allegedly) looking for a law firm to help them collect a debt on a defaulted contract.
I decided to have some fun, and answered with the closing Maurice Fine, Esq. Dewey Cheatem and Howe. After many emails back and forth I received a check for some $485,000 drawn on a Chinese bank, and made out to (you guessed it) Dewey Cheatem and Howe.
They asked me to deposit it and let them know when it was deposited. I let them know that it had been deposited (sure it was) and about a week later they asked me to wire them $400,000 and I could keep the rest for my troubles because the debtor had paid the money direct to them.
The original check was bogus and would have taken more than two weeks to clear.
Jeez....how stupid do they think we are? Pretty stupid apparently.
I took the check to the bank and they got a huge laugh out of it. The manager made a copy of the check and framed it and put it on her wall.
