Email Spam...

[ThomasGrant]

Any of the names in any of these emails can be googled.
You will find that nearly all the ones you try.
Are all related to email scams.

Many of these emails go out.
They follow a familiar pattern.

Some one died.
Or some one wants assistance transferring money.

None of em ever mention your name.
None of em are ever addressed directly to you.

If you do get one addressed to you.
And it does have your name in it.
Then I would begin to worry.
Someone has accessed your information.
I would change my email address.
Change or get new credit cards.
Change all passwords.
Block all unwanted calls.
And last resort.
Call the police.

Now, if they wanted to add credibility, they should have used:

[VLS]

By the way, this scam more likely runs in two parts: the first part is the $370 and then when the "winner" ask why he didn't receive his money, they'll say there's a mistake or something and then remind him of this:

"if you do not receive your winning prize of $800,000.00 we shall be responsible for the loss and this shall invite a penalty of $3,000 which will be made PAYABLE ONLY  to you (The Winner)."

but of course, you know the $3,000 also come with a processing fee...

They are lowering the payments to have a better chance to catch some more people-

It was customary in the past to see 4 figures.

Of course, the alleged reward for the payments keeps on being in the millions!.

Some people...

Subject: FOR YOUR ATTENTION


My name is DAVID ELLIS of United Kingdom, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.  It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never reallycared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.

Though I am very rich,I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance, I will live my life differently and a better person.

Considering my present predicament, I have willed most of my estate and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few closed friends. It has now done on me that there is more to life after all so, I have decided to give a portion of my estate to charity organizations, as a token of my contribution to mankind.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia.  Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once liquidated one of my accounts and delegated family members and close associates to distribute the money to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, I later
discovered through my auditors that there was fraud in the distribution of money to the Charities (selfishness). Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

As soon as I receive your positive response I will let you know the name of the finance institution  where the last of my money is deposited, which is Fourteen Million, Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars Only and I will let you know more details of this project.

Finally, I am soliciting for your assistance to help in transferring the aforementioned sum into your designated bank account and to distribute 80% of this sum to the Charity organizations of my choice, which will be made known to you as soon as the transfer has been completed.

I have set aside 20% for your time.

Please send your reply to  dellis990@gmail.com
God be with you.
DAVID ELLIS
