Search and Find

Rhetorical question: What kind of financial processing company, with their own web domain, suddenly uses gmail as the primary contact info on a "compliance sheet" that requires so much personal info? (see attached)

I am researching a company called M.E.C. Financial Services. It's a shady little company(duh) but need to show facts to my boss before his brother (lives in Ecuador, speaks little English) gets him involved in a classic scam.

:sigh:

vBucks rewards to people that come up with more than an addy, number, etc. I don't need easy to find info, I need what someone sneaky and insane (SHETUCK!) can find on the web.

Please if this proposal is acceptable by you, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your ... Marituals Status ...
I keep replying, hell, I even give them my little sisters info in case mine isn't enough yet I haven't received my check yet, I got a good feeling about this one though, it even has a news link!
So, how did you respond to "marituals status?" That may be what's holding up the check.

This one's got a new fravor to it...

At least he's not affiliated with the Bank of Africa (B.O.A) branch in Ouagadougou...

Not only do I "live in a

western world", but I'm a sucker for "obscured business proposals".

It's be easy money, though, if the wise authorities in Hong Kong hadn't enacted "atric-corruption" measures.

We won't be foi

led though. Not this time. Not like we were in Burkina Faso.

Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.

Good Day,
I am Mr. Ming Yang, Director of Operations of the Hang Seng Bank
Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch, Hong Kong. My purpose of contacting you is
because you live in a

western world.

I have an obscured business suggestion for you.I am here-by seeking
your service in helping me receive a large amount of money and in
giving a clear research

and feasibility studies on areas I could invest on.Your services will
be paid for, and you will be a partner, if your recommendation is
accepted.


As a bank employee, I can not operate any personal investment till I
am retired and with the atric-corruption Bill passed in Hong Kong,it
is risky for a

fixed income earner to own any huge amount of money in Hong Kong or
any foreign country. It is then advisable to invest in any foreign
land secretly and

patiently wait retirement.

For security purpose, due to telecom interception in Hong Kong, I
shall not accept or acknowledge any phone call. Only fax
messages/emails would be treated

in relation to this proposal but not without this code;[CODE NO:
AM-001]. Should you be further interested, I would prefer you to reach
me soon and finally

after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

Contact me through this email for further
confidentialcorespondence:[email protected]


Kind Regards


Mr. Ming Yang

Anybody else hear this on NPR? It's the funniest sh*t... EVER!!!

Freaking brilliant (to my Troll Therapist mind, anyway)!

It's an account of these guys reversed the field on a couple of 419 scammers. They go the guy to join a fictional church and go on a mission to Chad to start a branch.

This American Life

Act One. Hanging In Chad.

Three guys who go by the names Professor So and So, Jojobean and YeaWhatever spend part of each day running elaborate cons on Internet scammers. They consider themselves enforcers of justice, even after they send a man 1400 miles from home, to the least safe place they can bait him: the border of Darfur. The three self-made enforcers tell Ira their story. For more on what they did, along with photos, maps and phone recordings, go here. (29 and 1/2 minutes)

Here's the podcast (you need to cue up to about minute five to get to the "Hanging In Chad" segment): http://podcast.thisamericanlife.org/podcast/363.mp3

The emails from the Nigerian guy are pure gold!

:rofl:

This is the Western Union telegram they asked him to send (in Arabic):

1151109319.jpg


Translation:

This is a fake. I am a criminal. Please arrest me. I am a scammer. This is completely fake. I hate Mohammed. I love Israel. Allah sucks big goat penis and Mecca is a hell hole. I love George Bush. He is the best president ever. I think he should invade Chad and remove this ugly country off the map. Mohammed is a demonic pedophile. I hate Muslims. I hate Chad. I hate this country and its people. I have sex with goats. I hope the United States takes over the whole world and makes everyone Americans. Please arrest me lest I scam someone else. I will steal everything. I am about to rob this place.
