Hardly a day goes by when I haven't either won the Scottish National Lottery, inhereted 20 million from my long lost cousin in Canada or been offered a couple of million in payment for helping my good friend Hassim el Jahood smuggle the Shahs diamond stash out of Lebanon.
FROM MRS YEETY BAYARMAA


Greetings Dearest Beloved,


I know that this letter may be a very big surprise to you, I came across your email contact from my personal search and I instructed the doctor here in this hospital to help me email you and i believe that you will be honest to fulfill my final wish before i will die.


I am Mrs. Yeety Bayarmaa, I am 66 years old, From Mongoila, and I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast. From all indication my condition is really deteriorating, and my doctors have courageously advised me that I may not live beyond 3 month;

this is because the cancer has reached a critical stage.


I was married to late Dr Bayramaa Altangerel, gold & diamond exportation) in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where we live all our Lives for Thirty-two years before he died in the year2004. But is quite unfortunately, He died after a Cardiac Arteries Operation that lasted only for four days.


Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I deposited all the sum of $5.8million dollars with a Bank in Ouagadougou- Burkina Faso, where we spend our life together in Burkina Faso.


Presently, this money is still in their custody, and the management just wrote me as the Legitimate beneficiary to come forward to receive the money after keeping it for so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I cannot come over as a result of my illness, or they get it confiscated.


Presently, I’m with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment. I have since lost my ability to do anything myself and my doctors have told me that I have only 3 month to live.


Now that i am about to end the race like this, without any family members and no child. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested, but you will assure me that you will take 50% of the money and give 50% to the orphanages home in your country for my heart to rest.


I want your good humanitarian, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows around. I must let you know that this was a very hard decision, but I had to take a bold step towards this issue because I have no further option. I hope you will help see my last wishes come true.


As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority which will prove that you are the new beneficiary of my funds, and the documents concerning the deposit. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hope to hear from you soonest. I am waiting your response.


Yours Sick Sister in Christ,

Mrs. Yetty Bayarmaa.

Another phishing scam that's a little harder to spot is my getting emails from people that I know. Today I got one from Vaughn Fletcher but they're usually under the 'Brad van Barelo' or 'Bill Forsyth' but I've had three recently under the 'Vaughn Fletcher' title.
Todays phishmail, supposedly from Vaughn (but obviously not) has "Great" in the subject window and the following link in the message:
http://gogreenmobileshreddingblog.com/continentdictionarychristopherwiilson
caution::DON'T OPEN THE LINK even though I have changed it just in case.
These phishing emails are getting more plentiful, my cousin gets them from "Mark Firkin" but with the wrong email address so you could fall into a trap of thinking the email's a genuine item from a friend. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU OPEN.

By coincidence this one arrived as I was writing my previous post...

If you're dumb enough to be caught out by any of these scams you're probably not wise enough to be in control what little fortune you already have!

[Sorelegs11]

Don't tell me no one else has won the Spanish Lottery as a result of some nice bloke buying heaps of tickets in everyone elses name 
I was fortunate enough to win 862 000 euro some time back and all I had to do to get my new found fortune was to send 400ruro to the nice man at the bank for a international tax clearance cert.
After googling I could not believe what I had found.
Pages and pages of morons who had sent the 400 clams to these crooks and all whining about being so dumb
Being a fun loving bloke I decided to call the nice man at the bank and find out about my loot.
After explaining to him that int tax certs were a thing of the past, I checked this out with the local postie, my new found friend happily explained how lucky I was as I only had to pay an int bank transfer fee of 350 and I was in!
I explained how my lowly ex mrs had taken me for everything and if he paid the 350 I would give him 5000 as I gift for helping me out.
After a knock back I slowly raised the offer to 50 000 and he said he would think about it.
Hoping the offer might be enough tio stitch up the boss
A day or two later I received a call from the boss who told me in a very stern way that it was BAD to try and corrupt his employees
And you guessed it, the low bastards didn;t send me my winnings.
Just goes to show that you can'trust anyone

Slightly different scam,

Australian Federal Police think they have uncovered a sophisticated counterfeiting ring operating in Australia. The perpetrators are suspected Irish Nationals that have tried this same scam in several other countries unsuccessfully. "We believe they have targeted Australia as we are far enough away from Europe to not know about this scam" stated the head of the Australian Anti-Counterfeit Task Force. The gangs Modus Operandi is to Go to Banks, Business's and other Institutions that handle large amounts of Australian currencies, In particular coinage. They collect large amounts of 50 cent coins and then expertly machine off all the corners on the coins. When this is done they pass off the coins to unsuspecting victims as 20 cent pieces.


Sorry, so sorry.

If people are gullible enough to get caught out but ANY of these get rich quick schemes then they've only got themselves to blame.
In my mind the biggest "SCAM" of all is that Juliar is only thinking of our best interest's instead of her own re election.
She has already achieved her personal objective and doesn't give a shit if she is re elected this time around, which she never has, but don't start me.
Her yearly income has increased by a third since she stabbed K'Rudd up the arse and surprise surprise, she'll recieve that every year until she shuffles off this mortal coil.
As much as I dislike Gough, Bob and even Kev, they deserve a pension more than than that Scrubber.
The only thing she has going for her is that her MAN likes Speedway.

  Never mind thing might improve when the budgie smuggler wearing monk is elected.

  Never mind thing might improve when the budgie smuggler wearing monk is elected. 

Or not. I've got two cartons on Australians not being stupid enough to elect him and another carton on him causing a recsssion within six months of his (possible) election.
I really, really want win those first to cartons, but could not be happier to hand over the third....

Anyhow, my friends, I have both an important bridge in sydney that I wish to sell at a bargain price and a reliable Maico. I am seeking buyers for these valuable commodities and am offering you a rare opportunity for only $100,000 for the Maico and $1,000,000 for the bridge.

[Tim754]

Nathan I think you got the prices on the "wink wink insider" deals back to front.  Then again only 1 million for a reliable Big M...that still sound very cheap and suss.....

Be careful of what you wish for.

When you add up the pro's and CON's (future CON's if we are talking labor) ,You would think the most current revalations relating to the good old NSW labor party (past and present), the current ICAC investigations and adding to that the Craig Thompson affair would be enough to discourage people from voting for the labor party.
