Old Scam in new clothing - ordnance11 - 08-13-2013 Quote:WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFERMALAYSIAN PAY-OUT CENTERI looking at my junk mail and this showed up. Turns up to be the new version of an old scam. This one: http://antifraudintl.org/archive/index.php/t-78313.html So instead of Nigerian scam, it's now the Malaysian scam? Edit by Bob: I rewrapped the scam email so it won't force a horizontal scroll. __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No! Never turn Yes, it's into the fire we fly And the devil will burn! - Scarlett Pimpernell - Dartz - 08-13-2013 I got one of those claiming to be from a US military Sergeant once who found some Iraqi Gold and wanted to launder it. There're some weird varients out there if you're willing to wait or them to come to you. ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig? - khagler - 08-13-2013 Given that email address, I think it's the Mongolian scam now. - Terrace - 08-13-2013 There's an entire internet subculture of people who bait these scam artists, in an effort to waste the scammer's time and distract them from those who'd actually fall for the scams. - Bob Schroeck - 08-13-2013 My favorite of the that subculture is the one who dragged the scammer into an H.P. Lovecraft story and scared the everlasting crap out of him. Let me see if I can find it... Oh easily! Googling on "nigerian scam cthulhu" turns up many copies. For some reason it seems to be popular. http://sicherheitskultur.at/David%20Ehi ... 20Scam.htm]Here's a nice clean copy someone archived. Edit: The archive I originally linked to lacked the "punchline". This one has it. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. |
