i thought his wife died last year...
I received a email informing me that Mr and Mrs Large has donated $500,000 to me a few days ago. I became suspicious when they requested my Bank information. They claimed they were representatives from Community Bank NA and they needed my Bank account number and routing number to make the transfer. I told them I would meet with them in person. I refused to disclose my personal information online for fear of Identity Theft. I have not heard from these Scammers again.

Greetings To You,
We am in receipt of your mail and I must say that you should count yourself extremely lucky to have emerged as one of our winners in our donation sweepstakes. As you already know your Email (__________@hotmail.com) was randomly selected along with others from over 125,000 website on the internet. This is a life time opportunity and 100% legitimate. We quite understand your skepticism and with the look of things you are very skeptical about the donation of this funds Violet my wife and I have decided to make sure this is put on the internet for the world to see. My wife has cancer and as you could see from the webpage, am not getting any younger and you can imagine having no kids at this age. You see after taken care of the needs of our immediate family members, we decided to donate the remaining of the $11.2 Million Dollars to other individuals around the world in need, the local fire department, the Red Cross, Haiti, hospitals in Truro where Violet underwent her cancer treatment, and some other organizations in Asia and Europe that fightcancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes and the bulk of the funds deposited with SANTANDER BANK, the payout bank of this charity donation. We have kept just 2% of the entire lottery sum to our self for the raining day.
To facilitate the disbursement process of the funds which have been donated solely to you, please send us your the below information:

Country:
Tel No:
Home Address:

We are hoping that you will be able to use the money wisely and judiciously over there in your country. We will employ you to do what you can to alleviate the level of poverty in your region and also try to enhance the standard of living of as many people as you can because that is the only objective of donating this money to you in the first place.
I like to re-assure you of the legitimacy of this Services as we will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. We will advise as you as the 'Sole Beneficiary' to be calm not to loose this great opportunity which millions of people are trying to entangled but the chances just couldn't come for them because a lot of people are out there to discourage them as they don't know how it works, and have never seen such before.
Thank you for accepting our offer, we are indeed grateful.
God Bless You

Ireceived a letter in my email but, they didnt ask for any of my id but to set up an account with Lloyds of london. seriously if its a scam hw would they get a reputable bank like that involved. scam or noth, im calling lloyds today to find out and if its indeed fake, lloyds can be held accountable for it and I will sue for a million, in the email it does state that violet has died and that allen is not long for this life much longer. I asked personal questions about their neighborhood as I used to live where they live now and they knew the answers. I'll let you know how things turn out. not all of the emails are scams and the email they sent it to is not listed anywhere online as I used to work on an anti spam task force for the FBI.
Deletei got the same email
DeleteI have also received this email. Sadly, my usual guardedness regarding people wanting to give me several million dollars failed me. I haven't given them any banking details. i did give them my home address and a photo of my student card.
DeleteIn regards to this, what steps can or should I take in regards to handing out this information?
what's funny is that the dead giveaway that it's a scam is that Allen is the one supposedly writing this and he is like 90 years old and doesn't even own a microwave, but writes so eloquently and is able to send out mass emails to random addresses... how does he get the addresses?.. and in the email it confirms that you are a recipient of all this money, but at the bottom he wishes you "Good Luck" like you may just be a contestant...LMAO what a joke! the Nigerians doing all these scams are idiots! but the people that fall for them are far worse!! if it seems too good to be true, it almost ALWAYS IS!! do research people... all it takes is to take a few key words or names from the email and type them into google and if the word SCAM comes up in the predictive search, then you could probably just stop there and hit DELETE on that email...lmao!
Deletemy $.02
I got this email as well a few days again. I was one of those "idiots" that fell for it. Luckily, I only sent my name and address. Nothing too personal. They did try getting me to set up an account with some INVESTEC Private Bank. Haven't given them anything personal either. Any other advice I can get?
DeleteI just recived the same. Had hopes (like anyone would ) But I read they gave away a lot more then they won ..
DeleteI think I will keep looking for a job !!
Here is the latest email. What horrible people. Very different from the real Allen and god rest her soul, Violet Large.
DeleteThe sum of $500,000.00 USD have been donated to you from Allen Violet Large. Contact the donator with Code number (QZ6R44) via personal email (allenvioletlargecharityhome@careceo.com) for more details.

I received this email yesterday. It was a very generous offer, too generous. I actually emailed the sender to ask more questions. Whoever it was replied back with this long email trying to make it sound soooo sincere. But my husband looked more into it. I even emailed the reporter asking her questions. People are just sick. The shrewd considers his steps closely. So if something sounds to good to be true it more than likely is.
I too just recieved this email scam, don't give any details to these scammers. Notice how thier email address keeps on changing.

Just receive 4 of these. Will they ever stop?
Hmmm really a elderly couple that probably don't even have a computer are advertising like this? That should have been the first red flag to everyone that received this e-mail!
ReplyDeleteIt has been widely publicized that the couple do not own a computer or the internet. When word of this scam reached them, they were shocked and angered. Yes, it should have been a red flag but scammers are targeting the something for nothing crowd.
ReplyDeleteAnybody who has been ripped off by this or any other Internet scam should report it to ic3.gov or your local authorities. Save the full headers of the email so that the IP address can be traced. This is not just one person sending these out.
ReplyDeleteI've been trading e-mails with the scammers. It's pretty fun for a rainy day afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHi Yeh once you know its a scam you can have a lot of fun with them and waist a whole day pissing in there pockets Love the game
DeleteBest thing to do is simply delete the email.
ReplyDeleteAccording to all the "you're a winner" letters that have hit my inboxes, I should be the richest man who ever lived, except for King Solomon.
Me too, received an email from Allan and Violet Large! And I wonder that how lucky I am to receive USD 50,0000 from them. I'm afraid that its a trap and we have to be more careful.
ReplyDeleteI received the email to and figured it was a scam. Wow how typical and disappointing to know that foreigners or who ever they are would do this. Yes they are impersonating people that look to be wonderful and congratulations to the couple, but to the assholes that are doing this you are not only hurting them. You are hurting families that are struggling out there and dashing dreams that people like the Large's do still exist in this world. Shame on you for trying to scam people and defacing this couples name.
ReplyDeleteYep. Got the same exact e-mail today. The old man and wife are legit but the the money was allgivenj away to family and charity. the e-mail is a phish to get personal and bank information.
ReplyDeleteI received an email from some other person stating that it was from Allen Large and to reply back to an email that was supposed to be Allen Large's. It had the link to check and see if it was real so I went to it. Usually when they send you a link (especially the get rich quick work from home scams) and you go to it, it will show you the information that is supposed to be real but when you click on anything else it just keeps going to the same thing so you know it's not real, but when I clicked on something else it really went to something else. Still skeptical about it all I figured I would play along and email the claimed to be Allen Large's email back. The response was just obdurate and preposterous... the scammer used the cancer pity scheme. Well me being outspoken and spontaneous decided to reply back with my first name (since it's part of my email address) some fake info and my own meticulous sad sob story and how happy I was to be given the opportunity to get the money and what I would do with it. Their response was some bogus account info at a national bank (that does exist) and that I needed to create an online bank account with them and then the money could be transferred over to any account I wanted. All the time and effort that is put into these scams is truly amazing, just think of how the world could be if that same time and effort was used for something relevant like truly helping the ones in need.
ReplyDeleteI can't fit it all in one post so just keep scrolling down so see it all

I was reading all your stuff about this scam, & out of all these people on this page, your emails are the closest to the ones I received. However, I haven't been asked for any personal info besides my name. No ID info it my birthdate or bank account numbers. They also said they are giving me a million dollars. Ask I have to do is contact there bank & set up a new account and it's mine to "help myself & my community". I even told then I'm unemployed so of it's a scam they won't try anything from me. I'm not falling it, so don't get me wrong... But I'm playing along to see where it goes. I just am blown away by people who do this & even more I am sad that some people fall for it & lose... I did notice though that they are sending legitimate links to verify the story, they are not being pushy about my personal info, & they have even upgraded to letting me know that "it's hard for them to reply to my emails often since they don't have a computer themselves", so they are catching on to us catching on & changing accordingly.. Hmmmm

If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Don't wait for anybody else to act.

If you have received this email then you are one of the lucky recipients and all you have to do is get back with us so that we can send your details to then payout bank.This is not a joke, I and my wife have been interviewed both from US and Canada media being that we have spent our time in donating all most this money to people suffering more than us, we are old, money can't keep us alive but the happiness as we are happyly married and have lived till this time,there is no question about that.

Good luck,
Allen and Violet Large
“What you’ve never had, you never miss,” Violet told The Chronicle Herald in November.
ReplyDeleteThe couple quietly donated to hospitals in Truro and Halifax where Violet, who had been diagnosed with cancer a few months before the win, underwent treatment. They also gave to family members, churches, cemeteries, fire departments, the Victorian Order of Nurses, the home and school association, Red Cross, SPCA, War Amps and many other organizations.
The couple wouldn’t say how much they donated to each group, but they kept giving until there was nothing left but a small percentage — about two per cent — to keep their home running...money is now donated...
Yes, we know all of that already. The money was long gone soon after they won it.

Two emails in spam. The thread is still active. These are the names used. Stated that I needed to use a code & call western union. I hope people are not falling for this...
I got the same emails today. Too good to be true! Violet Large passed away. These sickos (psychos) need some serious help!
ReplyDeleteAll the way home I drove in the car thinking I was going to check this out on SNOPES and find out it was real and some guardian angel had come to come rescue. I'm in alot of trouble and I sure could have used some of this and would have shared alot of it with other family member who are having problems. Shame on these people for taking advantage of people's hearts!
ReplyDeleteYou have to watch out for SNOPES too. They have spun some yarns there too. This is an advance fee scam. If you got involved they would come up with excuses why you should pay shipping fees and "keeping" fees. The Nigerians love to call it keeping fees for some reason. Yeah, shame on them for trying to cheat those who want free and easy money.
ReplyDeleteLast night, I also received the message. I replied and today I received the second message saying this was not a scam and that they understood my skepticism. They asked for a valid I.D. or my passport number. I already filed a complaint with the FBI fraud division. I encouraged everyone to do the same. It only took a couple of minutes.
ReplyDeleteI got it to and reported to the FBI internet scam section.
ReplyDeletegot one today too from deborah kelly. The real wonderful woman passed from cancer. Shame on these people
ReplyDeleteToday is Nov.25, I to have just received the same email, only they say they want to give me 950,ooo.oo. This is the third scam that I have received in one week asking for my info.Can't it be posted across facebook as a scam? People really need to be warned.
ReplyDeletedid any of you receive the bank forms???

My wife has cancer and as you could see from the webpage, am not getting any younger and you can imagine having no kids at this age.

We have kept just 2% of the entire lottery sum to our self for the raining day.

We will advise as you as the prospective lucky winners to be calm not to loose this great opportunity which millions of people are trying to entangled but the chances just couldn’t come for them because a lot of people are out there to discourage them as they don't know how it works, and have never seen such before.
Thank you for accepting our offer, we are indeed grateful.
God Bless You

I, too, received a similar letter from Allen Large. I thought it was genuine & replied twice. Then I checked him out on google & found it was a scam. What a pity. I'm sorry to hear his wife died. What bastards these Nigerian scammers are. They should be prosecuted for fraud. Anne M, France
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. Violet Large is indeed dead. May she rest in peace. You know it won't be long before the Nigerian scammers try to profit from her death just like they do other deaths and tragic events.

ReplyDeletealmost couldn't find the end of this well. i got one of these scam emails from Allan Large too lot of people did.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of MANY scam letters I receive, at least once a day!! And last week some scumbag from the "Scam Country" managed to get ahold of my credit card number because I couldn't afford Anti-virus coverage for 3 weeks, which included protecting my credit card info!! So I was woken up by my bank asking me if I had bought over $1,300 worth of tires in Nigeria? Yeah, I just made that trip yesterday!! I have never made a transaction over $100, nevermind $1,000!! They made two previous transactions, the first for $1.00, the second for $14.99, just to "test the waters" and then they went in for the kill!! I am so sick of this crap!!!!!!!!!! I get so many I could never count all that I get in a year, it has to be over 500!! I tried to forward them to my local TV Stations or the BBB (Better Business Bureau), and the local newspaper, but no one seemed to care. So I will try to report this to the FBI Fraud Division, but I'm not sure if that will help at all either?!!
ReplyDeleteNow I just delete them the second I get them, but this one I just felt like looking into further. It makes me sick that these cowards are doing this in the name of two very generous and sweet people!! I hate bullies and cowards, oh and liars, and you scumbags are the worst of all three!! They aren't your classic bullies that will push the kids down on the playground, but they are the ones that help the kids up while picking their pocket, which makes them scummy bullies!! They hide behind good honest people to destroy lives, and they don't give a damn who they hurt!! If you scumbags are reading this I want you to know I am a firm believer in "What goes around, comes around." And you pieces of crap will get what's coming to you eventually, just remember that!! And for everyone else, if it seems too good to be true, IT IS!!!!
God Bless!!

Well their still at it a few days ago, I received the great news. I have been given the opportunity to manage 1 million dollars, for the Large's lengthy letter I received, also sent me a few additional photo's of the large's at home which gave it more realistic look to it. Of course I found out that Mrs. Large has passed away several months ago,, and in one of the emails they sent me they advised, that he Mr. large AND HIS WIFE,, had just contacted their attorney to make the funds available to the bank for payout. Wow what lousey scammers,,,I hope you burn in Hell for using these people's good name put a dollar in your pocket..
ReplyDeleteyes i RECEIVED this garbage today, again for the upteenth time, no one gives away money for free,scam & spam. Delete the account, I don 't have a bank account or credit card anyway,so who gives a CRAP!!! Yes, someone should report this to the FBI ANTI-FRAUD DIVISION, BUT THEY ARE TO BUSY LOOKING FOR TERRORISTS(SIC) THEY SHOULD LOOK IN D.C.& WALL ST. FOR THE MASSIVE BANK ROBBERY THE GOV DID TO ITS OWN CITIZENS.

I also received this email. Man, using the name of God to rip people off. I can only say that your fate is in the hands of the real God and I wish YOU luck.
ReplyDeleteI received this letter too this week. It is sad that people would do this. I also found a scam on craigslist. they get infor about the owner of the house and take their name. When e-mail them aboutt he house he said that he and his wife are missionaries and are in west Africa. They want someone in the house that will love it as they loved the house. the rent is 600.00. the deposit is 550.00 once you make the deposit they will send the key and contract over night. all ultilies are inclulded. I pulled the house up and found that the suppose owner no longer own the house and that it was on the market with a real estate company. I gave them the infomation and forward the e-mails from the suppose owners. Never heard back from the Mr. so watch if it is from out of state and it is to good to be true then it is. butt wholes . excuse my french :) blessing and spread the word.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is one day it might actually be a real winning notice and we will dismiss it. I've entered my email on some legit contest but now I receive so many scammer ones that I delete without even open it up....LOL
ReplyDeleteDont let any of these CROOKS stop you from entering legit contests..just use common sense! think about it, if you really won ANY amount of money, you will NOT EVER be contacted through only your random email to win a prize!! And CERTAINLY not a ridiculous figure like millions of dollars!! An ex-coworker of mine won $25,000 all legit. First, they contacted her thru registered mail(remember a legit company with REAL winnings to give has software such as Lexis-Nexis to locate anyone) So then she had to go to an official Corporation-a legit business where she was encouraged to bring her own attorney to look over the winnings statement/agreement and bring 2 forms of ID for the notary to notarize the documents etc. Then after two meetings w/her atty and the company's atty, they all signed off on the winnings, and made her fill out an IRS form for taxes. See-now doesnt all that make sense? THAT'S HOW YOU WIN SOMETHING LEGIT!! USE YOUR COMMON SENSE!! It just baffles me how many ppl have no common sense!! If you think a random person on the internet chose your random email of say: abc123@hotmail.com and wants to give you millions, then PLEASE contact me, i have ALOT of pesky gold hanging around that i want to give away to you(for a small fee of course!)lol
DeleteThe sad thing is one day it might actually be a real winning notice and we will dismiss it
ReplyDeleteLOL. No "winning notices" would ever be sent by email. Why? Email owners can never be verified. They are never legal means of contact. Any drawings you entered if they are real would ask for your phone number and physical address. But watch out, long before the internet these letters were sent out by regular mail also.
I GOT SAME LETTER FROM ALAN LARGE and since Samuel from Scotland yard told me it was scam~~~ I have been answering him and telling him I am very old and have no money ~~~ I told him to send me the money in a check!!! nothing in over 6 months. Just got another one today, and over 64 from my address book got same thing~~~~ From just this one scam site and my friends, Alan Large has given away $50 million and he only won $11 million

It's horrible that the Nigerian scammers are STILL trying to come up with new ideas, some that include REAL news stories like this couple who really did win the lottery, to try and bilk people out of their life savings.
look like it is coming from a VA.gov address (scary) AND ... ooops allenviolarge@yahoo.com.hk so this one is in Hong Kong
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed scary. Obviously they forged the headers which is nothing new for these scammers but do not assume that because they use a Yahoo.hk email address thatitoriginates from Hong Kong. You can establish Yahoo accounts to make it look like you are somewhere else simply by lying about the country you live in when you sign up.
Yes the economy is bad all over the world and we have definitely noted an increase in the amount of these scam letters being sent out. It is also very sad that these scammers are still writing as Violet Large because she has died.
ReplyDeleteThe email address they sent it from is NOT their personal reply-to email, but the email address of a Anna M. Rubio, ARubio@rivcocha.org
ReplyDeleteThis means they forged the header to make it look like it came from somewhere else... to make it look official. Nigerian 419 scammers do this. You will get an email from the person who is dying and they tell you to write to their banker or lawyer. The dying person, banker, lawyer are all the same scammer.
If I got an email that looked like this, I would forward a copy of the scam letter to arubio@rivcocha.org to let her know that scammers are sending out these letters trying to make it look like they were sent out by her. This is the Riverside Health department.

I received the infamous "Allen Large" email yesterday (4/25/2012)telling me how I had been selected to be given $500,000 USD, and they even went so far as to swear to the legitimacy of the information and attach photos of Violet and Allen Large, as if someone couldn't just pull those off the internet. I know I did it without any trouble. I think it is incredulous that these low lifes not only prey on people with their emails, but are using the good names of innocent and very philanthropic people like the Larges. How pathetic is that. Trouble is these people are never caught and they just move on to the next scam.
ReplyDeleteJust received...they are now giving away 1M. Pasted below...

Wait a sec... why the hell did all of you get emails with correct grammar? I fell like I was scammed out of my personal dignity by sending this email.
ReplyDelete"Dear Sir/Madam,
This is my fifth times of writting you this email since last year till
date but
no response from you.Hope you get this one, as this is a personal
email directed
to you. My wife and I won a Jackpot Lotteryof $11.3 million in July and have
voluntarily decided to donate the sum of $500,000.00 USD to you as part
of our own charity project to improve the lot of 10 lucky individuals all over
the world. If you have received this email then you are one of the lucky
recipients and all you have to do is get back with us so that we can send
your details to the payout bank.Please note that you have to contact
my private
email for more informations (email removed)"
I got the same one today and its really getting on my last nerves. Your fifth and final notice. take the notice and .....
DeleteThat was terrible grammar. I wish that you wouldn't have redacted the email address so that we can all see who sent this. Letters like these are not sent, or written by a single scammer. I'm not so sure this con artist is Nigerian. If it were, "payout bank" would be written like PAYOUT BANK
ReplyDeleteBut they did use the word "informations" which is the way a Nigerian scammer would write this.
ReplyDeleteI received this scam today!! Nice!!
ReplyDeleteI received an email but not like these. It was from a monget stephany acting on behalf of the couple. Asking to confirm my email.
ReplyDeleteI recieved the scam email yesterday when is the goverment going to do something about this thank god im not eldery or niave about this kind of thing to many people are taken advantage of what is our world coming to????????
ReplyDeletewhat do you think the "government" is going to about this? These scams are an international problem and did not start with the internet. Nigerian scams started back in the 1920's and were sent by snail mail. So the world has arrived a long time ago unfortunately. That's why this blog is here. Knowledge is your best defense. You could report this email to the email host where it was sent. Provide them with the full headers so that they can see the IP address and authentication keys. Most elderly people are not on the internet, neither is Allen Large. Violet has passed away.
ReplyDeleteCrime victims have reported these scams to the FBI but to date, not a penny has been recovered from Nigerian scammers.
"i thought his wife died last year..."
ReplyDelete@anonymous, Violet Large did die last year. She died on July 16, 2011
http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announcement-244524-violet-large.html
Ok so here is my biggest problem I can't figure out How did they know my name. The email was Addressed with my acctual name did anyone else have this happen to them. I do beleive this is still a scam I just have no idea how they got that information at all.
ReplyDelete@anonymous, of course this is still a scam. All it means is that your scammer did a bit of research. It means that somewhere on the internet, you have your full name published along with your email address. That part would bother me because a criminal has this information. I would google the email address. Then google it with your name. You may even have your privacy settings on a social network like Facebook set so that you are searchable by your email address. I would locate that source of information and delete it. But just remember that the scammer doesn't know if your email account is active or if it still belongs to you, unless you reply.
ReplyDeleteI received the scam email today...

~now I'm no genius but who wouldn't do research after getting this information. I should just send the link too this site to them and maybe they might come up with something new or stop altogether.
Signed, A man with little faith left in humanity
I got the exact same email that most of you have gotten and acted excited in the email and said I would be more than happy to give you my routing number and account information but losing my internet the next day,is there anyway you could call me and I will give it to you.Got another email back saying sure,we would be more than happy.Little did they know that the number I gave them was to the Texas State Troopers Office lol.I bet they are shitting in their pants.Damn Scammers
ReplyDelete@ man with little faith left in humanity. When contacted (yes these scammers come here harvest our email address and send us these letters directly) we reply by thanking them and informing them that they are on our blog. That hasn't stopped any of these crooks. They just stop writing to us. The problem is so widespread that not even law enforcement can get them all.
ReplyDelete@ anonymous, "I gave them was to the Texas State Troopers Office lol.I bet they are shitting in their pants" I bet they aren't. These scammers don't call anybody. It's all done over the internet. They simply asked for a phone number to see what kind of mark they have. At best the scammers do think that you believe them and will fork over your money to them.
ReplyDeleteI just received this email today, was awfully funny that someone just gonna give me this money, gotta love the foreign scammers, GET A JOB!!!
ReplyDeleteI received this email today:

Although we won this lottery funds last year july 2010 this money has been in my possession and we have helped some charity organizations from our winnings.
After taken care of the needs of our immediate family members and friends, we both decided on donating the remaining of the $11million to other individuals around the world in need, the local fire department, the red cross, haiti, hospitals in truro where violet underwent her cancer treatment, and some other organizations in asia and europe that fight cancer, alzheimer's and diabetes and the bulk of the funds deposited with our financial firm of this charity donation. we have kept just 2% of the entire lottery sum to our self.

I will advise as you as the prospective lucky winners to be calm not to loose this great opportunity which millions of people are trying to entangled but the chances just couldn’t come for them because a lot of people are out there to discourage them as they don't know how it works, and have never seen such before

Can't believe I was actually gonna sit there and waste my time seeing if this was real. Its sad because I have two child and my youngest has one kidney! Pure wrong!
ReplyDeleteAnd where do you go to report this?!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!! I knew something was up with this. They're still up to it, just received one myself. The FIRST red flag was a 70 something person sending an email haha that's like a 2 year old driving an 18 wheeler.. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! thanks for the internet and places like this to point people in the right direction. Also if you won money in a sweepstakes or someone was to "donate" money they would NOT need your CC # checking account or ANY form of payment or financial numbers from you. If its too good to be true most likely it is.

To facilitate the disbursement process of the funds ($2,000,000.00 USD) which have been donated solely to you, You are to send us your full names for payment and contact address (we asked for this brief information just to know who we are donating this money to and because of the Identity thief going around the internet which i have been a victim we do not want to ask you for your ID as we do not want to leave an impression in your mind that we want to steal your identity). we are hoping that you will be able to use the money wisely and judiciously over there in your country. we will employ you to do what you can to alleviate the level of poverty in your region and also try to enhance the standard of living of as many people as you can because that is the only objective of donating this money to you in the first place.

I too have received this email last night. All I said bak was hi n I got the second half of my email. It's pretty much the same xcept they told me 2 million n all I had to do was go online to the bank they posted on there n set up an online bank acct n then the funds would b available n then I could transfer it into my local bank acct. I knew it was too good to b true so I calld a couple #'s they left on my email n couldn't even talk to the guy "Greg Burger" cuz he spoke a foreign language n so I then tried contacting the bank to c if it was a scam n couldn't get ne thing so I decided to check out the fb page that was also attached n my email n found out it was a scam so I Googled the name n this is wat I found. N according to them she's still alive.

its making its way around again slightly different version of the ones above however most of the same information . I received it today and they ask me to provide the details to FedEx in Mississauga Ontario. I am to provide my full name, address, and cell number and pay $260 for FedEx to release the bank draft for $500,000.00. If it sounds too good to be true--IT IS most likely a scam.... Then yup i searched and saw scam. Well of course it is really why would "Google Management" as they put it give anyone my email address especially a yahoo email address.
ReplyDeleteLet me ask you guys a question. We see a lot of commenters asking this blog "what can this scammer do? I ONLY gave him my name and my address" why would you give a total stranger ANY information about you? If somebody approached you on the street corner, asking you for your name, address, bank account numbers..who would give that information? okay then. An email is not considered in any court of law as a legal means of communication. Why then do you people reply to these stranger's emails and hand over enough information to steal your identity?????
ReplyDeleteI think, people should ask them the EMAILER for THEIR INFO, Phone Numbers, KNOWN Banks and Numbers and Verification. So that everything could be verified. As for me, Steal my identity! I have NOTHING more to LOSE! As for the address, I have 4 small children to PROTECT. that is my priority.
Deleteanonymous, not sure I understand your logic. you say you have 4 kids to protect and they are your priority but in the same sentence you don't think that stealing your identity would be a threat to their safety as well as your own. Having "nothing more to lose" is no way to see things. You can lose your life and so can your children at the hands of these criminals. Yes, these are criminals who send out these letters. They are crime gangs and almost all are involved with even more serious activity like the major drug cartels. Think about that.
DeleteI got this one today:
ReplyDelete"Our approved $500,000 us dollar donation to you. contact us via our personal email for more details ( vioelarge928@rogers.com )."
I googled the address is was sent from (Joachim, Judy Judy.Joachim@fortbend.k12.tx.us) and turns out its a science teacher in Texas... these people are evil. But yet they want me to email their personal one? ha.
I got an email saying they wanted to give me 2 million dollars, i didn't send any information etc but one day that will be for real!
ReplyDeleteOne thing i did get out of this, and that was the story, i didn't know about it and now i do and it was so nice of those people, they gave away most of the money, even if it was just 20% it would have been VERY nice, such wonderful people!
I received the email.
ReplyDeleteHow to report this asshole ?
He recibido correos enviados supuestamente por Allen Large y del Investec Private Bank...
ReplyDeleteI got the Investec version 3 days ago. I called the supposed account manager,who is listed as an actual employee of Investec.Next,I called the Investec bank in Manchester UK. They flat out told me that it was a scam.It looks so believable,I have had lotto scam emails before,this one looks really legit,so beware. Basically,you get baited into creating an acct. so that they can deposit the 2 million.
ReplyDeleteIn order to open an acct,you have to deposit some of your own real dollars.Once they have your money in the acct,instead of depositing the 2 million,they take your opening deposit. How sad.
got mine today beware noting si free
