Sometimes the urgency of a letter could determine the channel in which
it is sent, this letter is very urgent and important and the fastest
channel to reach you is via your email address.

Can you receive $7.5 Million on behalf of my company and be compensated
with 30% of it? Send your names, phone, fax number and age then you
will be fully briefed on the nature of the transaction.

Why would I click a link in a seemingly random email with basically no content? #4. Like I'd really trust someone who is claiming to be customer service for the Navy (I mean, really?

Dear Interswitch Card Holder,

During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures with affiliated banks(below), we have detected a slight error in your account information.

This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
2. Multiple failed attempts on online shopping websites.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors.

Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below:

https://webpay.interswitchng.com/webpay/

If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to access your account will become restricted.

Note: Card Number (printed on card issued by bank) and Pin are numeric. Refer to your Debit and/or Cash Cards.

Thank you for choosing, Interswitch.

* Affiliated Banks (GTBank, UBA, Skybank, BankPHB, Zenith, Access Bank, Intercontinental Bank PLC, Diamond Bank, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Africa Bank PLC, Oceanic Bank, Unity Bank, Wema Bank)

Considering that I'm not even sure what an interswitch card is (I think it's actually British, but I'm not sure about that), combined with the fact that this email isn't associated with any of my financial institutions except for one internet based bank who shall remain nameless... Yeah, I'm calling it a SCAM.

He contacted me to assist him negotiate with a foreign partner whose account could be used to secure some money. Currently, the Governor has a coded account in a Spanish bank that he wants to move out immediately because no body knows it exists . I have contacted you to seek your interest and willingness to assist with this arrangement. But I am assuring you, there is no risk as the money in question is in a coded account. Could you assist and have your share. The money would be transfered to you and that is the essence of contacting you. I will also have my percentage as soon as the money is moved into your account. Can you arrange for any secured account where the money would be transferred?, the total amount is $65m. I could not have risked my companys license if I was not sure of the deal. Please I am assuring you of the perfect arrangement. Would you be part of the deal?.All that is needed is for you to contact his fiduciary agent to the bank for him to assist you. He is a former governor and he want this to be a secret. Waiting for your response. Sincerely yours philip ajegbu

Wow- another stupid scam. I have no idea what their game is with this one, but legit companies do not hire random people through email. Technically, there would be nothing wrong with it since the hiree would be working on commission only- so nothing to lose.

Here's the thing though. Even if these people were serious, I wouldn't want to work for someone who cared so little about their employees that they don't even have them apply. You could do all that work and then have the company fold- or worse. Since they're based in China, they could just completely screw you as an individual and not pay up.

Phish: YOUR SCAM COMPENSATION FROM BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION

2008-08-04T11:48:00.000-07:00

This one was just bizarre. The body of the email came in a light blue box on the far right of my screen, with a photo of some people... praying? It was weird.

Then, while they're talking about my having been scammed in Nigeria (which I haven't), they invite me to look at photos? On a site that seems more or less like flikr or photobucket. Then they claim to be the British High Commission, but the photo site is copyrighted in India. Huh?

I haven't visited the listed website since I have an absolute paranoia about clicking links in obvious scam emails. But, yanno, that's just me.

Then, they contacted me again a few days later, but this time without the offer of pictures. Aw, I'm so disappointed!

Phish: Grace Kenga Likes Me

2008-08-04T11:39:00.000-07:00

Grace Kenga has offered me $14 Million for investing in my company, or is it in my country? Oh wait, it's a joint venture. (Clue #1- anyone investing that much money will actually know that investing in someone's company, country, and joint ventures are NOT the same thing).

But wait! She's so determined to work with me that she first emailed from Sierra Leone, and then 25 days later when she moved to India, she sent me her new email address. Aw. But really? Even if this were a legit offer of investment (which it so isn't), I wouldn't want to risk that much money with someone who doesn't even know the basics of business speak. Or spelling. Or who uses free, web based email.

Phish: SCAMMED VICTIM

2008-07-03T16:23:00.000-07:00

Ok, you know what? This one isn't even entertaining. It's boring. Whoopee. The UN and Nigeria decided to repay me that million bucks I was scammed out of. Um. I didn't have a million to get scammed out of, and the closest I've come to getting scammed is as a seller on Ebay.

But, you know what? I don't want to send my bank info to someone who has very poor English skills, and a gmail address. 'Nuff said.

SCAM!

Dear Sir,

Ok, actually, I'm a Ma'am. Or Madam. Mistress, Mrs.- whatever. What I am not, is a "sir".

My name is Mr. Nathan Ooje; I was formerly an Adviser on special duties
to Mr. Charles Taylor former president of Liberia. The purpose of this
letter is to seek your assistance in transferring/investing the sum of
Sixteen Million United States Dollars {$16M} for me pending when I sort
myself out with the government of Nigeria where I am presently on
asylum.

You're on asylum. I don't even want to know what that means. And do I care who you were advisor to? Look, I'm an American. We don't know what goes on in the world let alone who other countries' politicians are. We certainly don't know if we side with your politicians or not when we can't even decide which of our politicians we like or hate the most.

I need your urgent help to move this fund out of this country because, I
am taxed heavily by local revenue office here in Nigeria whose tax laws
I consider arbitrary and this places great burden on me. I feel very
insecure with everything around here and I have the believe that I might
end up losing the fund to this shy luck agency in the name of tax if
urgent action is not taken by me. That�s my reason of looking for your
assistance at this point in time.

Well now. I consider our country's tax laws arbitrary as well. How about if I ask you to handle my money for me so that I no longer have the burden of, um, obeying the law. I'm glad you feel insecure as well. You know why? Because it's nice to know that I'm not alone. And I'm not asking what a shy luck agency is. I really don't want to know.

Please note the amount is in Nigeria bank, one of the leading banks in
Nigeria ironically this fund does not yield any interest because it was
placed as dormant account but regrettably the revenue office makes
deductions out of this money and you know the implication of this action
it might goes off to the revenue office as tax all the time, till the
total fund is gone. I want you to consider and help me out from this
mess.

Yah. See, I'm having the same problem with my ClickBank account. They keep deducting money from my account because I haven't had 5 sales from 5 different credit cards made by 5 different people. By the end of the year, that account may be bankrupt. So, you see, I'm in the same boat. In fact, I'll be gracious and totally ignore the illegality of what you're asking as well as your atrocious grammar.

I need this data�s to forward to the ministries concern for the
transferring immediately, Your Full Name and Address, Your bank name and
address, Your private phone/cell phone and Your account and swift codes.

There's that swift codes thing again. What the heck is a swift code? And no. I don't hand out my name, let alone all the other information just willy nilly (hey, you used weird phrases too!). If I believed for one second that this email was legit, I'd be calling the authorities, not posting this email up on my very public blog of phishing and spam emails. Good thing you sent this out to thousands of other people, isn't it?

I wait on your good gesture towards my family and me.

Oh, I got your gesture right here, buddy.

Regards,

Mr. Nathan Ooje.

Same to you.
