Over the years I have been reading and watching reports of people who were ripped off by total strangers. The scammers are people from European countries who email unsuspecting folks with promises of receiving large sums of money for one reason or another.
Beware: These scammers are ruthless and will stop at nothing to strip you of your money, your dignity, and your peace of mind. It’s been a while since I have been receiving scam emails with offers of millions of dollars. I have never sent them any personal information but I thought to myself it would be cool to start a blog in regard to this matter- I’ll post their emails as received. Perhaps this will prompt people to hit Delete everytime one of these emails shows up in your -Inbox.
The economy is hard, people are financially stressed and make no misteke, they will prey upon you with no conscience. I received emails alluding to the fact that I am a breast cancer survivor and will, therefore, understand their plight. They were on their dying beds and wanted to bequeath the funds to me, however, ( and there is always a but or however) the funds are held in a secret account which will be transferred to me when I furnish them with my bank information, but, I must tell no one until such time when I’ll be instructed by their Executor, Lawyer, whatever. Sometimes the family members are plundering the funds and don’t want any of it given to charity. Whatever the reasons they are lies, con-games- and thankfully, I am not that gullible or money hungry.
When I received the very first email in 2000, My first thought was- Yeah right!! Call me the consumate skeptic. Sometimes, I am prompted to send and email with bank information, paypal account number, et al…again I say- Yeah, right. I am not that gullible. I have been offered donations for CABCO- Caribbean American Breast Cancer Organization. They’ve sent me winning lottery numbers, beneficiary emails, and today I received the email below and just thought I would post it. I just can’t believe the gall of these con artists.
Keep in mind that I have never been in touch with this person before- no transfer of funds was ever initiated on my part- … guess they are counting on my Chemo- brain that can sometimes keep me in fog, to work to their advantage.
Note to Jovona Green: Hold your breath until you get my personal bank information Jovona Green. If you do you’ll be plumb out of luck. My grandma used to say- Offer folks some Dollars and they will throw away their (cents) sense… Got to disappoint Jovona- this time you’ve hit a rock solid wall. You will never ever get any bank information from me. You can take that to the bank. As for your $650,000.00, you can take all of it and shove it where the sun don’t shine…
If you could use a good laugh in these distressing economic times… Guess it’s our lucky day- Check out the bogus crap I received from Jovona Green:- Nothing was changed in anyway. Don’t want to plaguerize. Jovono, if you followed the link I sent you, and are reading this blog, just want to say- BUSTED!!!! (smile).
