Gee this year now I have won over 800 million I just add the letters to my data base, the problem is they do use crafty words and fake paper work to back up their lies also, as much as I have a team of scam baiters meaning catching the crooks and exposing them, the scammers also have a team working with them different people who work on frauding.
Gee honestly if it was true I won xxxx money, I would have my own home and be fishing in a boat, sorry I am poor.
We just got a similar paper like this in the mail saying we won about $500,000 from a lottery when no when here even entered the lottery. We turned it in to the police station.
People.. be careful .. Don't give/wire money to anyone you met online. Several scammers from
various places[esp. Ghana, Africa] are online and hitting folks up in Email/PM/IM, ultimately seeking money for various things. There is no real way to verify their sob story so pls ignore them. All Spam emails are scams. Note: Any checks/Money Order/Correspondences From Africa/Nigeria/Ghana is Always a scam!!! Have a great week everyone!
That's a good description of a fancy Internet style cheque-kiting scheme. It's a new twist on an old fraud. They use your good bank account to cash their bogus checks with the anticipated promise of a big pay-off that never comes. No real lottery will ever ask you to pay for any extra fees or taxes, which, if need be, they could deduct from your so-called winnings. Don't fall for this.
If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't!
one thing i dont understand and that drives me nuts, this entire shit is very simple! whatever the scam is, SOMEONE must PICK UP THE MONEY ! they MUST have an ID or something, wtf the police dont pick this shithead up!? WHY is so difficult?! am i wrong?! if i cash a check, i must have a bank acc. for that i need an fuckin simple ID card, so... TRACE the damn route where the money goes and see WHO the hell is the PERSON who OWN the bank acc. ?!
There's no cash moved in this scam, it's all checks, the victim's real one, and the scammer's phony. And once funds are in the electronic banking system they can be moved round and round. Sometimes the crook is traced and caught, but it's very difficult, particularly since the scam involves more than one country.
Just don't accept or cash their counterfeit checks money orders. Anyone who tells you to use wire transfer services like Western Union or Money Gram is a scammer. Nigeria=scam & ALL SPAM emails = SCAM!! - Scambuster
They stole the whole AOL database? Have you taken your pills?
This is how it works: they can send you a fake cheque. You cash it in to your bank, and it clears. Then a few days later the cheque bounces and you're left to pay up.
While I'm not sure how much the database being stolen has to do with this particular scam (I suspect not a lot), Norman is correct; AOL's entire database of more than 30 million customers was stolen by an employee and sold to a spammer back in 2004. You'll have to search for a story yourself since I can't include a link on YouTube.
Norman is just making a comparison of internet fraud between this scam and the AOL theft. That the AOL theft probably led to some internet/email fraud scams going out to AOL members. He's just giving a heads up to watch for these things as your info can be gotten to by the simplest of employees.

This has been flagged as spam show
Does somebody want to transfer millions of dollars into your account?
Does someone want you pay you to cash cheques and send them the money?
Met a new friend/penpal on a friendship/dating site who's asking you for money?
Has a dying person contacted you wanting your help to give his money to charity?
Have you sold an item and are asked to accept a payment larger than the item amount?
IT'S A SCAM!
Don't fall for common scams like this
fight them!
