The Scammers are hitting this Website

Post by bits44 »

I received this private message today, looks like the scammers are trying to use this website to solicit business, be careful:

Dear Sir,
I am one of the sons of the late minister for mines and agriculture of the Republic of sudan in dafur the southern part of the country my name is Robert Sung. My father had just died by arab millitia attack at the age of 69 about last two weeks.

I want to let you know that My father had deposited a sum of $8m(eight million US dollars) with my name in Asia and I want to know if you can use the money to purchase me some hotels(Properties) and keep
the remaining fund in your position for atleast 5yrs before handing over to me, this is because I can not leave my country now because there is a big crisis in our country and in our large family.

If you can get other viable investments to cover the remaing money it is ok.
Your commission is 15% and it is guarranteed and 5% of the fund will cover all expenses incurred during the transaction
I need your full address to give to my lawyer to prepare a power of attorney to be given to you.


Yours faithfully,
robert Sung

NOTE: RIGHT NOW I AM IN A NEIGBOURING COUNTRY GHANA TO RECIEVE ANY PRIVATE AND URGENT REPLY CONCERNING THIS.
THIS IS MY PRIVATE EMAIL godwillington@yahoo.com

Bits44,

what's the nickname that the spammer uses?

to prevent major spamming you can only send 1 PM each 15 seconds. But to avoid in the future I will increase this to 60 seconds, this doesn't mean that it will never happen again.

Be careful: don't reply nor e-mail if you receive a PM or an e-mail like this!
