 RE: DEAR ESTEEMED CUSTOMER, YOUR PAYMENT HAS BEEN PROCESSED!!!
Type: Text​

Dear Friend,

To be very sincere and honest with you, it has been quite unfortunate
and very much painful to me that you have not been able to receive
your ATM Visa card and start withdrawing money with it successfully
till now. It is very disheartening to me that you have not yet been
able to receive the fund in the ATM card which is long over due to be
sent to you till now.

I am sincerely sorry for this very unexpected, unpleasant and
unappreciated delay and any inconveniences you incurred already in the
process. It has always been my sincere desire to ensure that you must
receive your fund successfully and at the most possible shortest time.

It is quite unfortunate and painful that it now seems very difficult
for my bank UBA to complete this transaction successfully as urgent
and easy as we actually wanted.


However, in my sincere quest to ensure maximum success in this
transaction in a lightning speed, and in order to forestall any
further atrocious act against your interest in this matter, I have
made an arrangement with the help of the minister of finance of Ghana
to transfer the total fund to your bank account successfully through
Nedbank online fund transfer.

Consequently, your ATM card has been successfully deposited with the
Nedbank as I am typing this message now for immediate transfer to your
bank account. The good news is that the cost of the transaction from
Nedbank is much less expensive for you to afford and the processes are
also much easier and less cumbersome.

You are hereby required as a matter of urgency and importance to
contact the Nedbank on the below contact details and apply for
immediate online transfer of your total fund to your bank account now;

Dr. Makuka Gabriel,
Managing Director General,
Online and E-banking Department,
Nedbank, Accra Ghana.
E-email addresses: nedbankplc525@gmail.com


Contact the Nedbank on the above details and request for urgent
transfer of your fund to your bank account immediately.

I am waiting to hear from you as soon as you are in contact with
Nedbank on the above details. Bear it in mind that as it stands now,
"the earlier you contact Nedbank on the above information, the sooner
your total fund will be transferred to you".

Always come back to me with timely progressive updates for advice and
directives.

Thank you and respond urgently.

I had 'amazon' call me recently with a suspected fraudulent charge for a $999 iPhone on my account. In order to show me the charge I needed to add the app "anydesk" from the Google play store to my phone.

yah, right.

Amazon is very good with texting and email when there is an issue and has pretty decent security. And I don't store my card on their website.

i told the caller I was calling Amazon...he argued with me and I just hung up.

pretty weird asking for me to download an app to my phone...I think "anydesk" is for remote viewing....

never had a call like this before. They are getting more and more creative..this one had a computer like recording at the start of the call.

I have gotten that Amazon call that Chance mentions at least 50 times. Once time they called 8 times in one day. I hardly even answer my home phone anymore. It is either Amazon or Spam Alert calling. When 2 elderly relatives die, I am getting rid of the landline.

money? whats that?
Right now, I'm wishing I hadn't deleted it. I got a text scam yesterday. Supposedly the USPS was having trouble verifying my address in order to deliver a package, tracking number so and so. Please click this link to confirm your address. Instead, I wrote down the tracking number and went to the USPS site and punched it in. They said no such package tracking number exists. That's why I deleted it. Would have been nice if I could provide more details.

Type: Text​

Dear Friend,

I AM MR.ALLASSAN ISSA, a chartered chief auditor with BANK OF AFRICA
of Burkina Faso Ouagadougou West Africa. I got your contact address
from your country through online directory. Your impressive and
managerial records made me to solicit for your partnership in these
regards. You are the only person that I have contacted for this
business and with the trust that you will not let me down.


After going through some old files in the records during the audit for
the year in my own department which I am heading now, I discovered
that there was an account opened in this bank since 2000 and since
then till now nobody has operated on this very account.

The owner of this account as I discovered from the bank record
secretly , is Late Mr.Jerome N. Snaga, a foreigner and a miner at the
Anglo Gold Platinum Mining Company in Mafikeng Burkina Faso, as a
geologist by profession and he has died since 2001 and Up till now, no
other person knows about this account or anything concerning this
money, no other persons name or group was documented as the
beneficiary of this money because according to my investigation which
I made last few months ago proved to me that his family died along
with him during their holiday traveling and his company does not know
anything about this account , because the company was bankrupted after
two year of the death of Late Mr. Jerome N. Snaga.

The amount involved in this discovered account is US$ 32 Million and I
want to transfer the total fund to a safe bank account overseas before
my resignation from my bank.

Meanwhile I contact you as a trusted partner who will stand as the
beneficiary of the fund and next of kin/beneficiary to Late Jerome N.
Snaga to claim this fund in your name. I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this fund can not be approved to a citizen of this
nation or local bank here.So I only need your full co-operation in
order to achieve the success of this project and be informed that our
management is ready to approve this payment to whoever that has
correct information to this very account of which I will relate to you
later, if you are able to handle such fund in strict confidence and
trust according to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefits
because this opportunity will never come again in my life. I need your
strong assurance, honesty trust and reliability because I know that
with good co-operation we shall have well successfully.

With my full position now at my department I am assuring you that this
money can be transfer to reliable foreign bank account which you will
provide for this fund, assurance that this money will be intact
pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing of this money.

Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the fund belongs to
us now, Therefore, after the eventual stage of the transfer of this
fund, I will offer you a reasonable amount to the sum of 40% from the
total fund and after the successful transfer of this fund to your bank
account we will remove 10% from the fund to offset every expenses we
might have incur during the course of this project and 50% for me.

Do indicate your private information as listed below in your respond
for easier communication on this project.please replied me with this e-mail
address ( mr.allassan12@gmail.com )


Your Full Name:..............
Your Country:...................
Your Direct Phone N=C2=B0........
Your Fax N=C2=B0.......................if available.
Your Age:..........................
Your Sex..........................
Looking forward to your urgent response, thanks for your
co-operation.

Best Regards,
MR.ALLASSAN ISSA,
(Chartered Auditor)

I got the same text. I too checked the tracking number...didn't exist. I checked my recent orders...all Amazon, FedEx and UPS deliveries...none USPS.

After something is shipped I go back and remove my cc info...on amazon I delete the card right after I place the order- I've done this for years now. Don't know if I can do that on other sites, but for Amazon I know someone has been trying to get in to my account as my phone has received three OTP in about two months...not my requests..

I love reading these scam letters/emails!

I seem to recall a thread from many years ago containing the full back-and-forth between a scammer and a TB member. It was hysterical! Unfortunately I can’t remember any of the details so I can’t even try to search for it. It did involve a Nigerian, iirc.

Thanks for the laughs!

Maybe, but considering this scam has been run for years BEFORE covid I don't think so. My vote is for "IDIOCRACY" become real life.

Oh, people fell for this long before. One tried a scam on me saying that he was at Camp Speicher- which at the moment was where I was based. I kept my entertained for a couple of days leading him on.

oddly enough, I recently sent a large bunch of cash to my bro.

I sold his quad and he refused to do etransfer (didnt know how) :strs:

I went to his bank branch, locally.

it had closed 3 weeks ago.

so I tried purolater.

$85 for small pkg with signature.

I ended up sending it canada post, with sig required.

covid has put the kaibosh on sigs for anything.

immediately after I mailed it, I started getting postal email scams etc.

me thinks the PO has an infiltrator??

PS

he DID get it when specified.
