Welcome to Spam City.

Every time anybody responds to these scams it encourages the scammers to continue scamming.

After reading it to her about that woman in Britain inheriting billions she said: see who knows why not send him email to see what is he going to say.

Hi Bobson,

If you have received or sent email from your real email address to this scammer. Stop all contact. Just ignore any further mail you get from him.

These scammers are outright criminals. Your email can expose your address to a scammer. It is rare but it has happened. Victims have had visits by a scammer with dire consequences.

Here is an email that is best to ignore: Do go to the 419 Eater site and there are several stories there for public entertainment.

Goodday to you.Am very sorry for you my friend, is a pity that this is how your lifeis going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there isno need of introducing myself to you because I don't have any businesswith you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL/ASSASINATEyou and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the personhave spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and toldme that he want you dead and he provided us with your name, pictureand other necessary information's we needed about you. So I sent myboys to track you down and they have carried out the necessaryinvestigation needed for the operation on you, and they have done thatbut I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you andsee if your life is Important to you or not since their findings showsthat you are innocent.I called my client back and ask him of your email address which Ididn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and Iam using it to contact you now. As I am writing to you now my men aremonitoring you and they are telling me everything about you.Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you.Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare yourlife, If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with myjob straight-up.WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELL ANYONEBECAUSE I WILL KNOW. REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANTYOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHINGFUNNY.DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:30PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU ANDGIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEADAFTER YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH MY DEMANDS, THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKEANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLYRegardsDon.

That led to a long baiting saga. I read about the story. It is behind a "log in" they gave the scammer much pain.
If you like PM me and I can forward to you most of the story.
Quite entertaining. There are several others but that one is very good. He did not get any money.
There was no one hurt or killed and no animals were harmed in this story. The scammer suffered. The tables were turned on him.

Cheers

Yes, this is a scam.I have had the same sort of things emailed and posted to me .If you look through them properly, you will find some real facts but at the same time there are some errors and inconsistencies, but it is still a scam. You will be required to send money upfront to see the "millions". Of course, the money will just disappear. Funny how so many people have these obscure relatives dying without any known relatives overseas.....
Looks like you are in the same boat as everyone else. Just have to work hard, then worker harder, then work harder still........or start some scams of your own!

OMG!!! My sister got the same e-mail but unfortunately she lost $65.000 and she found out it was scam but it was too late. She is left with no money and she might be getting divorced because of it. DO NOT REPLY TO THAT E-MAIL...

DavidU (Dave) · #28 08-09-2010, 12:38 AM

You can add snopes to the list of fraud and scam exposers.

ZeroID (Brent) · #30 08-09-2010, 08:21 AM

Scams........ all of them.
Checkout www.419eater.com for all the info you need on these idiots.
This is a group of netsavvy boys who play the scammers at their own game. The've had a number of them trapped and arrested in Sth Africa, Holland, UK.
I worked with them for a while but it gets very intensive and time consuming. I've still get a few old 'pigeon' accounts that are still being hammered with requests. Check them once in a while and the letters and bad grammar/spelling hasn't changed one bit.

I see hundreds of them every day in our incoming net filters. Hundreds ? I mean thousands.

Astrobserver99 (Rob) · #31 08-09-2010, 06:08 PM

I get about 30-40 of these a day

, mostly dealing with pirate software and pills...they use to be a right pain in the head

, but now I have set up email filters...very few get through

.

Baki (Baki) · #32 08-09-2010, 10:23 PM

No I am not. It was the same person like Bobs everything the same. She lost $65.000 and her marriage. The problem is her husband spoke to MR PHILIP VAN LEEUWEN and now he blaims her, just the deceased had different surname than Bobs. She was the one that sent the money without asking her husband and she actually borrowed that money from other people. She even got a copy of a "cheque" with her name on it and bank account details and the letter that the day has come but firstly she has to pay another $38.000. And the worse thing is that she gave him all of her personal details like copy of passport, licence, bank details,etc... Yea and there you go she just found out on the weekend it is a scam.
So people don't play with it it is all FAKE but still very professional.

jako · #33 22-09-2010, 10:22 PM

hi susan did you do anything about
phillip because i got the exact same letter, but ive noticed this guy changes his passport pics, ive also spoken to him on the phone.

Baddad (Marty) · #34 23-09-2010, 08:01 PM

Hi Bobson,

PM me and I can advise you. I need the header of the mail. The header reveals where the mail comes from unless it is masked or proxy'ed

Or you can contact Scamwarners. Just google the name.

It sounds as a scam to me so far. Particularly because they have sent you material to try and convince you.

Cheers Marty

Can you say "troll"?

brook1@iprimus. · #36 23-02-2011, 10:25 PM

just got a letter today fron mr van leeuwen from the death of a late relative it all sounded pretty dodgy so i didnt pay attention to it but then i thought woth if its true so i send a email back saying send the documents, when they arrived and read that no third party was to get involved it sounded strange even wanting that mouch out of the money what lawyer would take that much from there client, but after that i defenitly new this was a scam!! when i seen this site id seen a identical letter that was sent to someone else and the attornys licence was exactly the same then when i got to his passport it was completely different but same name it was pretty scary seeing its happened to that many people

Octane (Humayun) · #37 23-02-2011, 10:36 PM

Brook,

www.419eater.com

Go to the forums and read the Main Scambaiting Forum.

If you have some time on your hands, see if you can't waste the scumbag's time.

Warning: you'll get hooked on scambaiting. It's one of my favourite hobbies, even though I've been doing more reading than baiting lately.

Draconis (Mick) · #38 23-02-2011, 10:37 PM

The amount of foreign lawyers/barristers/doctoers who contact me looking to transfer money into my account because some long lost relative has died in a horrible accident is astounding. I must have some really rich relatives, shame they never contact me when they are alive and share this wealth.

I actually enjoy stringing these people along from my old hotmail account, its flooded with these offers and from people wanting to sell me viagra. I like to email them a few times and ask them silly questions until they eventually ask me to stop emailing them, thats a nice payoff. Always careful not to reveal any personal information of course. Amuses my easily amused mind anyway.

Zaps · #39 24-02-2011, 05:45 AM

The "same surname" inheritance scam is one of the oldest.

It's amazing that people are still falling for this garbage: And those of you urging the recipients of this mail to follow through are even bigger suckers.

luigi · #40 24-02-2011, 08:24 AM

I can ease you all the paperwork for just a 0.5% commission.

What a great idea, a Scam scavenger (or something like that....)
