I get these regularly...its a scam...as a matter of fact you can send it to them, they have their own department that researches this...I jsut sent them one a week ago.
 
:notme::notme: Wait we arent supposed to give away all of our information DOB SS # stuff like that. Uh ooo :passout:

Lol jk jk. I get some that my rich uncle in Africa died and he left me in his will. Strange that i dont have an uncle in Africa :hmmm:

And some rich guy in London randomly picked me to receive millions of dollars because he did not want to give it to the govt. I knew i was :love: :lol2:
 
You guys can laugh, but when my check from the son of the deposed king of Nigeria comes in, then I'll be the one laughing. Laughing all the way to the bank. The $4700 transfer fee I had to pay is nothing in comparison to the amount of money he'll be depositing into my account. I already quit my job and bought a new car on credit because the money should be here any day now.
 
Since we are taking this serious thread so far off-topic, I feel I should mention another fantastic offer going around.
There is a company that makes car care products and if you send them as little as $2,000, they will supply you with wax for your vehicle for life.
Just imagine the return on your investment if you live to be 100 years old.

And this is no scam. :gotcha:

Charles
 
Me too...I guess we really are all brothers under the skin...BTW bro can you lend me $1,000 so I can get uncles inheritance :D

LOL!!!:D

I get these daily too...the sad thing is the people who do actually fall for this.
 
Scary part is people fall for that stuff. One day at work my boss comes out of his office and asked me to take a look at his computer. Said he was having some problems logging in. I go in to his office and he has a ebay screen up trying to put in his user name and password. I asked him what was wrong and he said it wouldn't accept his password. Said he had gotten a email that someone may have stolen this ebay account and he needed to log in and verify his credit card number. So my boss just clicked the link thinking nothing of it and entered his credit card number and ebay info. We forwarded the email to ebay and it was returned it was indeed a scam.
 
THere is a commercail I recently saw on tv with an elderly couple the guy is at his computer saying he got an email that he won some brazilian lottery and that all he needed to do was give him the account numbers to his bank, after he does that...his wife in the background says something to the effect of did you ever enter a brazilian lottery...to where he is just scratching his head.

Do you guys still get these that often?
A year or two ago, I was getting a lot of them, but for the past 6 months to a year, about the only ones I receive are the Pay Pal and Ebay info update requests.

Absolutely!
I remember reading about a guy that not only sent a bunch of money, he actually went to the country where his windfall was supposed to be and met with the scammers in less than the best of conditions. He was lucky to even get out alive.
I didn't check it out on Snopes and it may not be a true story. It sounded like it was the kind of thing that could happen, though.

I get about two a week from some country that I have never been to nor ever plan on going to saying a long lost relative has left me a ton of money and thye need to get it out of the country before the government gets it.
 
I've got a really really good spam filter I guess. I rarely get anything like this anymore. Every now and then an ebay one or a paypal one will slip through, but those are easy to catch. The big one now that I've been hit with is an ebay one where you are offered to buy an item you lost the bid on because the buyer fell through.

eBay sent this message to ocdetails on behalf of an eBay member via email.

If you aren't interested in the item, (#320164281586; GEO TRAX SET--117 PIECES-- IN GOOD CONDITION--), maybe you could forward the information to me.
It sounds like a really good deal!

By the way, what is a GEO TRAX SET, anyway? :confused:

Charles
 
Something I just thought of.
We are all waaay to smart to get caught up in any of these scams, but still get caught up in all the hype about detailing products and tools.:hmmm:
