419 scam message

Post Reply New Topic

In my private message box I received a 419 scam PM from a member named agnesbaby. Could the mods look into this matter please?

If a mod could private message me I could forward the message.

These messages have been going on for months, and the mods are well aware of it. Its just a scam, ignore it.

They should do.... But now I'm getting to the point where I'm just sick n tired of it.

Can I ask, when did the spam bots started spamming?

We do ban them when informed about them. But do you have the complete message? They often have the email in their message, and in order to ensure that they are banned completely, we need the email address.

reported agnesbaby yesterday and got them banned yesterday .. next 419 please stand up and be counted ! !
anyone here heard of 419.com ? there are some folks who got sick of these guys and got together to "bait " them .. then take pictures of them doing stupid things and just generaly try to waste the 419ers time so that other people dont have to deal with as much crud ..

she's been banned Quatermass. sorry about not telling you sooner.

Spambots isn't something new. It's been going in in 2007 too. I get them every once in a while and I just delete it. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I emailed the bot? What would the response be?

I also got a message.

Hello my dear.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused; I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of
communication.

I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we have never met before. My name is Miss Rosemary Davidson I am a banker here as a banker i hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that i am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $ 9.5m (Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand dollar). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer here in my bank, who died along with his entire family members in a plane crash that almost took the whole life of the passengers on board. Right now as I am sending this message to you, my bank is seeking for his family member from your country to come for the claiming of this fund left by the late depositor.

That’s my reason of contacting you, as both of you are from the same country I need your help now to execute this transaction.

The Banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than eight years, because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this
period.
In view of this I got your contact through the internet when i was making a
research on a foreigner from your place that I will use in this great opportunity because i
dont want the money to be recalled to our Bank treasury as uncliamed fund.I
have also agreed to offer 40% of the total sum and the rest 60% will be for
me.

You’re in good position to claim this fund as the next of kin ,should be incase if we did not found any of his family members, which I am sure there's no where to see them.

Please my dear, with my position as his personal account advisor both of us can make this come to us ,only if you will follow my direction and do what I ask you to do, this funds will be your's.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free on Both sides and don’t have any negative impact. You should not entertain any Fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has Been finalized, this transaction will be completed within 10 bank working Day immediately you applied to the Bank as relation to the deceased
Customer.


I am waiting to hear from you for more details .reply me on this mail: (rosemary26@cantv.net )or(rosemadavid077@yahoo.com) call on 0022547440600

May God bless you.

.N/B let me reassure you that the source of this money is very legitimate and it dose not have anything to do with laundering or what ever of such..
