This is a scam to assist criminals in getting money from bank accounts. This should be reported and removed from this site.

I get these kind of emails all the time and spam them right away

Here is how it works.... according to a friend of mine in banking...

They will want to wire funds to your bank account.  It must be an account that you are signatory on.  Not your broker account, your personal or business account.  They want to send some spending money for the buyer to use when in town.  Oh yes, You can use it too....  for meals and entertainment while he is here!!!!  So you give them the account number and routing number.

Then they will want you to send them a letter stating you agree to help them - but you must sign the letter yourself, not an assistant.

They promise to send a check from their country, and they may actually send a check, which you can deposit.  Oh, yes - it will be a big check, but probably just under $10,000 so as not to trip the feds (who watch big money transfers - especially between countries).

You deposit the check - and even if your bank places a 3 day hold on it, or a one week hold, the money seems real...  After the hold is lifted, you can see the funds in your account and all seems well.  

By now they have your photocopied signature, or a quick practice at forging it, and your account numbers...  you wake up one day and...  your money is gone.  But not all of it.  just, say, a few thousand.  They sent too much.... it's ok....    THEN, comes the surprise.  It turns out their check bounces after all, and in about two weeks, the bank reverses the deposit, leaving you with...... AN OVERDRAFT NIGHTMARE.

If you are too smart for this, then they try one last trick...

"Our buyer is on his way to your city, but his funds were held up.  Can you pay a few of his travel expenses, from the funds we sent you, until his funds arrive in your country?"

Or maybe, our buyer's credit card does not seem to work, and he needs somebody to visit XXXXXX web site and pay a bill so he can continue his journey to you... (phishing for your cc number, security code, expiration date, billing address, and phone...  )

I read a scam report about this and they said the money gets deposited into your account and the account holder withdrawls the money minus the fee for the use of their bank account. and western unions it to a name and city they tell you. I am sure their are alot of different scams.

I hate when that happens.  Early this morning I got an email on my Treo that I had another HOT PROSPECT.  I couldn't wait to get to my computer and get to work - only to find my note from Alisa Magdelina.

How to they do that?  The emails appear to be direct from my website.  I get these spam messages in regular email all the time, but are they going onto each of our sites' feedback page and pasting the message?  I'm picturing a sweat shop with rows and rows of underfed people on laptops spamming away!

It's just funny how they always throw God into it somewhere too.  It will be good when the day comes that this stuff stops. Unfortunately, it must be working to some degree or they wouldn't continue to keep sending the emails. Has anyone noticed the new weirder names to get thru the spam blockers? Like Umbrella Inspiration or Administration Ambrosia - just too laughable. There must be some company making big bucks selling these email names now, hope the spammers pay a lot for that service :)

Have a great weekend all. . . .

Well, of course he's joking. These have been going on for years now. It's hard to believe anyone goes for it but a fewobviously do to make it worth their while. I have even had someone call my cell phone twice last year with the same type scam. Now that really bothered me because I could not just throw the guy into spam, I had to talk to him. After a minute I realized what it was and hung up and he actually called back  & left me a voice mail. I'm sure they get the info from our websites. I had one other agent  in another state tell me the same thing happened to her.

I am still getting these constantly. I suggested to one a week ago to just get together and network with the other thousands of people trying to scam us and just scam each other... work on your Scam United or something, some kind of club where you take advantage of each other.......leave me alone I have work to do.

I, too, get these on a regular basis... thought about collecting them for a book some day... haaaaa!  Regardless... where is "Homeland Security" when you need them??  All are scams... and obviously some are successful, otherwise they wouldn't "keep on".  There are "watch-dog sites" out there that I have reported to in the past... but never have heard if the effort is worth the time of day.

Delete... delete... delete...

Hey she changed her name for the CA brokers:

Dearest one, I am Felissa Jenny Harrison a single daughter of former minister of agriculture, of the Republic of Ghana and also diamond and gold merchant.

Just recently there was an exposé on this scam, but they used paper soaked in black ink - course a few of the bills were real - and sold the magic potion to remove the ink along with other expenses for the person to bring you this money for the big payoff... After all you will be getting paid back double or triple what you spent!  

This is not a new scam you would think that people would have heard about it by now!

Hi Mark,

I saw on TV a while back where someone decided to play a game with these idiots... they told them they were a church and needed more money. They sent them the set-up teaser and set up a meeting but gave the person the name of a tattoo parlor in his country that had been prepaid for the large and ugly tattoo that was to be places on his neck so he could be recognized... he was to send a picture of himself with the tattoo before a meeting was set-up... the fool fell for it and now has the big ugly tattoo on his neck!

No doubt the guy had all together too much time on his hands but a great kibbitz anyway!
