    This is an example of someone who clearly needs help with his writing skills, yet appears to have an extraordinary belief that the world is full of fools (which perhaps it is?). hmm

    How many do you believe get sucked into these emailed schemes?

          However, for anyone who is feeling rather desperate, it seems to be a lure. And there are desperate people out there.

          For scammers to persist in such high volume must be an indication that they are getting some results somewhere, or it would just die away.

          I think that's sad news.

        I was telling my friend about Hubpages the other day and without looking they told me it was a scam.  In a way its good they have that attitude but it really does make things difficult for legit businesses.

      Educate folks would be most effective. Keep a data bank of the letters and names, and a site where folks can look to see if what they recieved is similar, or same. Might Help, not sure

      Demand a way to Filter email by Country. Say if you have no ties to Nigeria, then have your service provider do a wild card block of all email from there for your IP addr?

      maybe have an Embasy Site, US Embasy where you can send it to, so they can post a formal complaint to the Goverment of the Country?

      Just ideas...

    I get about 20 of these a day, no joke. I hate them. WITH A PASSION. I get so much junk mail now, I am truly fed up with all the stuff I have to sift through. It used to be, "oh, trying to sell me Viagra, are you?" Delete.

    Now, they are starting to get 'clever' with subjects like:

    'Please look this over' or 'here's the memo'. They (lol I call them 'they') are also starting to use common American names for the senders' names. So.... now I have to stop and think "Do I know this person?" Smiths, Jones, Johns, Marys, etc...sometimes it freaks me out because the scammers' 'names' are almost identical to common American names in my address book.

      Is a very good question to ask. So many people are desperate out there they tend to overlook the obvious. A few years ago I worked for a company sending out Western Union. I was trained to look for suspicious activity. I did refuse a few because they appeared to be suspicious. One in particular I remember the customer brought in the email for reference, I explained to her after she showed me the email that we should contact Western Union's fraud division before proceeding. Long story short it was a scam they did put a tracer on it and I was actually rewarded by Western Union. I know every one sending Western Union, and any similar form of wire transfer must be trained and tested yearly. One of the most important things they miss in the training however is just because the amount is below the dollar amount to trigger more paperwork and Id's and such they can still refuse to send it. Those doing the scams know what the amounts are and hope no alarms are sounded in the trained professional. It still happens. People should be aware when something sounds to good or looks to good ask questions research or like most of the people just delete them.

      on the text, actually they can't be tracked if they're using what we call pre-paid phones (you buy a "load" to be able to text and call) as these are not registered with the phone company. I already reported the number to the phone company. They just recorded it but they basically told me the same thing sad. Next time I receive one, I'll post it smile.

    Neither Pam nor I would fall for anything like this, but after her Mom passed, her greedy stepdad most certainly did.  It was one of those where they send you a check for, say, $4900, you deposit that, and then you send them back your own check for $4,000.  We repeatedly tried to warn him off, but what do stupid wicked stepchildren know?  He took the scammer's check to his bank, his bankers agreed that it looked fine to them (shows you how dumb bankers are, too, I guess), and he went for it hook, line, and sinker.

    Naturally the bank didn't eat the loss just because they'd given him bad advice to counter his wicked stepchild's good advice.  They stuck it to 'im.  Of course.

    In the meantime, he was bragging mightily to us about how his share would be somewhere between $2 and $3 million.  Shortly after that, he went on a trip for a couple of weeks.  When he got back, we called and asked him "innocently" if his expected windfall had come through.  As expected, he said that it had...but it didn't take him long to get off the phone, and at this point we haven't heard from the blackhearted idiot in years.

    How blackhearted?  Well, just as an example, when we were staying in his home the week after Pam's Mom died, Pam was understandably stressed to the max.  Both Pam and her Mom had been on Valium.  The guy flushed his wife's few remaining meds down the toilet so Pam couldn't have 'em.  Good ol' scam couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    Wow Thank you SunShineSnow.. Will you do a hub along the lines of this? It is an eduation thing clearly; but I take your point
    that many are blind to the obvious scam. Appreciate your input here. smile

    1. SunShineSnow profile image60
      SunShineSnowposted 15 years agoin reply to this

      Will begin more research to try to get a hub up. This is a topic that puts a fire under me. I research every little thing because of the training. So many scams one could never list them all. Another example for your readers here. A few weeks ago I got an email from my business bank. At first it didn't even register the email was in my personal email account not the business. The email said my account had been suspended until I updated my information and they provided a link. Never click links in emails from a bank!!! No bank will ever send you a link, they always tell you that you have a message in your account to sign in to view message. Always log into your bank from the bank website not an email.
      I printed the email and took it to the bank one letter was missing from the email address. I then forwarded the email to the banks fraud division. Yes it was fraud and people will click on the link. If more people send the email to their banks fraud it can be traced back. And hopefully save the next guy from losing thousands.

    I replied to this email just to mess with them. I said I would be glad to help, and they sent me their Western Union information. I waited until the next day and sent them an email stating that I sent it. They emailed back and said they went to there Western Union store and it wasn't there. I wrote back and said there was a mix up and I got taking care of so they should be all set. This went on for a week. Finally the guy starts cussing me out in an email saying it's a 4 hour ride by bus to go to the nearest Western Union store and he's gone 6 times and haven't received any money yet.

    I laughed so hard I couldn't stand it.

    The icing on the cake was emailing him back with a fake transaction number I found on the net. He made one more trip before giving up!!!!

      I have to disagree.  No one deserves to get scammed.  The recession has been hard on people and people will try anything.  I think we really need to band together to help educate people.

      Falling for these scams cost Americans over 100 million dollars last year.

      These people make these scams sound so good to people who just want a break in their life.  The people getting scammed in most cases are good people just like you and I

    Caveat Emptor and "If it sounds too good to be true, it is" was pounded into my head as a kid.  I mean, come on, who sends stuff like this through email for God's sake.  I feel for someone who gets taken in once by these sorts of things, but if they fall for it more than once, I have no sympathy at all.  Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

    Besides most people who answer these things have to believe you really can get something for nothing and you really can't.  Chalk it up as a life experience and be smarter next time.
