Another SCAM Artist on the Prowl - Page 1

* Was asked to take down then exact e-mail...but if anyone would like a copy of it or to see it...You're welcome to contact me and I'd be more then happy to send it to you...


But this was the first time I got a TDD phone call in regards to buying a puppy...and it was 11:30 P.M. at night and sounded strange...

Once again if anyone would like to know more about this...by all means contact me via PM...

I have received similar emails from an emailer "lemmy kay". I actually had them send me the check and then turned it in to the check fraud department/ PD.

Actually I like playing along with these guys and usually get them to send me a check...I've even taken them to the bank and told them what the deal was...and they'd check it out and say...NO...It AIN'T NO good....!
Then turn it over to the police...But some of these have been through the UK....Which I had a friend of mine there check into this person for me...
Why do SCAMS all smell the same...Pee U....!

yeah the address on the check was texas however they wanted the money sent to london.

Just figured i would jump in to make some noise as well.

It all varies but its always a check 3 times what your asking and wanting you to send money somewhere. so just be careful all!

Keeping this on topic about scams, I received an email from someone claiming they were within the dept of the FBI....They said that a bank here in the states had received a check from someone's estate in another country and my name was on it as the payee....They needed me to send them information so they could proceed with the delivery of the check....Of course I know this is not true.....My plans were to print the email and take it to the proper authorities, but a personal situation with my 86yr old mom's health distracted me from doing so..I forgot about and just remembered anbout it when I read this thread......So nothing was done....

Anyone else have this happen to them...I do believe for anyone to use the seal of the FBI and claim to be an agent, must have serious problems or some really BIG BA-LS.  What ya think??

 QMAN THEY ALL SMELL THE SAME BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL COOKED IN THE SAME GREASE!!! LOL

I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN TO ME AND WHILE I WAS HERE I HAD THE POLICE OFFICERS TALK ON THE PHONE TO THEM. THEY KNOW THEY USE SO MANY ROUTERS AND DIFFERENT THINGS ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO GET CAUGHT

I get emails quite often very similar.....especially when we run an ad on the database. I think they "target" specifics....and send mass emails around. *Phone calls*...I've never had....that I WILL watch out for.

The only scam I got, was a lady in Africa saying she needed
to disperse millions of dollars to American bank accounts.
Because her country was being over thrown by war lords.
and her family had to flee the country. If I would let her use my
bank account she would deposit several hundred thousands of dollars.
I looked on the Internet too see if there was any truth to it, and it was a
scam that fooled alot of people. Mainly old people who were to trusting or
to greedy.
