    Back again, now the scammer said that it had visited a unitedcargo office or something (too poor translation to understand) and it said that it had given my contact information and that unitedcargo had sent me details...anyhow they never send anything so I said that the scammer would forward the message that united cargo had sent...

    Now here is a few funny thingies:
    - the scammer said that it had got this mail from united cargo, why is there only my e-mail adr. in the "To" and "Cc" field?
    - the pictures are badly stretched (sideways) and they are if the content of the picture is googled the pictures can be found easily
    - the united cargo logo is poorly cut out from uniterdcargos real webpages head (upper left corner) and then made larger so the pixels can be easily counted
    - then finally the picture of an western union office (that is also stretched) has a big fat white copyright text ((C)LifeOnOurOwn.com)

    Anyway here is their message...and still to be continued...

    what i can doing?

    Hello, i send my money to WILSON NDO NGWO ANJA, I have doubts, that isnt really, but they convinced me.... Can I making something I get money back?? Im really stupid!!!!! Thank you!!

    You do realize that just by opening one of these scam emails tells the sender its a good addy? You should actually just mark it as spam & delete it so you won't get them anymore.
  4. I can fix this for you - but first you must deposit 100,000 united states dollar in my Ugandan bank account. when I receive these funds i will being the transfer of your funds (and parrot) back to you.

    Unless the email parses html/javascript, the sender will not know whether the recipient has read the mail or not.
  5. learninmypc TechSpot Enthusiast

    I didn't know that nor do I understand what that means,sorry.:confused:
  6. Some emails - e.g. from commercial sites, merchants, banks etc have html content and sometimes scripts. This is effectively a web page loading inside an email. In such cases, it's possible for you to be tracked or for a malicious sender to detect when a specific mail is opened. For plain text emails, there is no way the sender knows you have opened it unless you respond. Most mail clients and webmail block html by default unless you allow it so unless you enable it they are not going to know you opened the mail.

    DjKraid's example above is hilarious, but unfortunately people do fall for it.

    Hello,
    These are all new scammers that have tried to trick me out of sending them 150 euros for a chow chow puppy to be sent from Belgium to ________ . They made up two fake travelling agencies to "send" the puppy over.
    The people are located in Cameroon and when they send you e-mails they are very flattering and nice. It is usually followed by a phone call that is on a number that gets deleted shortly after or may not ever exist. 0023796481016 this is the number that they might use for you to contact them even if they use another em-mail address.

    Beware of them they play with your emotions and your minds.
    Thank you and Good bye world! :)
  9. learninmypc TechSpot Enthusiast

    I don't bother opening any (if any) I just click their box & click spam. bye bye:D

    #Barbarella23 - well...I guess the only thing you can do is go to the authorities :/

    #learninmypc - the best line ever "Don't reply to this (or if you do just spam the living sh*t out of them)!", thumbs up for the spamming part :D
    "I don't bother opening", well that's going to be a problem. When I put an ad on a site (like ebay, that I don't use btw) and some one want's to buy it there is a "reply to seller" or a "send a message" button and when someone replies "via" that button the topic on the mail is something like "RE:Nettimrakkina.com..." so if you want to get something sold then there is really only one option :/


    New scammer found (once again)

    So my friend is selling her caravan on

    So first she got a text message (sms) asking some random stuff and also asking for an answer via e-mail, so she answered...she then some time later she got an answer:

    Okay, i'm interested in the purchase but i have some questions first how long have you owned it and when last was it checked for any faults and is there any visible dent/scratch on the body? and what is your best/fixed price for it ?
    > > I am making an international purchase to my home and i would handle the Transportation to Malaysia and i would be paying through PayPal as it is the fastest and easiest to make payments with my Credit Card.. Respond to me soon. Hector


    The senders e-mail adr is: hectorthinks@hotmail.co.uk


    Now here is a thing that's interesting...a "Kafi 540" caravan, that is in Finland / Europe...the "buyer" is in Malaysia / Asia...first, how would the delivery be made...second, if it would be delivered from Finland to Malaysia then the delivery alone would probably cost more than a completely new caravan in Malaysia...so what the f***? -I don't get it @_@


    I'll try to get more "info" out of this scammer...so to be continued (this is going to be funny)...


    --- And here are a few more scammers ---

    These are also known for the same e-mail message as the one in this post...and then of course I also have to write what they wanted to buy...and get shipped to the other side of the world -_-

    New one about Wilson Ndo Ngwo Anja

    He is now using jessicanathan38 as alias!

    So be warned!

    He tried to get me little kittens for FREE!

    I just had to pay via Western Union 180 for shipment :p

    You just can't rely on people's goodness nowadays!
  12. DjKraid TechSpot Enthusiast

    Well if you want kittens for free there are loads of them here in Finland but I don't think anyone here is willing to send them anywhere.

    Anyhow, thanks for the update and lets just hope it helps someone! :)
  13. learninmypc TechSpot Enthusiast

    If you're looking for kittens, go to your local animal shelter:)
  14. DjKraid TechSpot Enthusiast
