USC Department of Public Safety [[email protected]]
CA 2007-007
The University of Southern California Department of Public Safety is providing this notice of a criminal incident that occurred in our community in order to provide information that may help in avoiding a similar crime or provide information to solve this crime
CHECK SCAMS
DATE & TIME OF OCCURRENCE: February 8, 2007
LOCATION: Within the USC Community
REPORTED OFFENSE: In recent weeks at least 4 USC community members have been victimized by e-mail check scams. In each incident the suspect targeted victims who were selling something via the internet. The suspect mailed a check for the item. However, the amount of the check was several hundred dollars more than the purchase price. The suspect made excuses for the excess amount, and asked the victim to wire back all or part of the money. The victim deposited the check into their bank account and immediately wired back the overpayment to the suspect. In each incident the victim was later notified by the bank that the check was fraudulent. The victim had to repay the bank the original amount of the check.
SUSPECT DESCRIPTION (provided by complainant): In each case the suspects were from outside the continental United States. In at least once incident they claimed to be from Nigeria.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THESE CRIMES, CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AT 740-4321 OR LAPD SOUTHWEST AREA AT (213) 485-6571.
PREVENT YOURSELF FROM BEING A VICTIM
1. Accept deals only with local buyers; avoid all contact with persons outside the United States.
2. If someone attempts to pay you additional money and asks for you to return the excess amount notify the US Secret Service Financial Crimes immediately at 202-406-5572.
3. Never give your banking or any other personal information to anyone over
the internet. It is much safer to wait a few days for payment rather than risk your bank account being compromised.
4. If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. It probably isn't legitimate.
The National Consumers League (NCL) reported that Fake Check Scams, in which victims receive a realistic-looking phony check and don't discover it's no good until after depositing it and wiring money back to the crook, have been on the rise since NCL created a category for the scam in its fraud database in 2003; in 2006, Fake Check Scams ranked No. 4 and No. 5 in the Fraud Center's Internet and Telemarketing scam reports, respectively.

Tell Motali that you'd love to help, but you can't because you're wicked father has tied you to a dead goat in the back yard and you sustain your life by drinking your own urine. (oh, Explain that you still have internet access through your palm pilot.)

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
This one has to be legit; since the SOB is a barrister (i.e. lawyer). He has to be a lawyer since he wants to keep 60% for himself while giving me (the potential rightful heir) only 35%. In addition, there are actual news articles.

Attn: Rogers,
I am Barrister.Olawole Richards ,solicitor and notary public, the personal attorney to Mr.Mark Rogers,Who is a national of your country. On the 27th of january 2003, my client, his wife and their only son were involved in a bomb blast here in my country.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the blast, since then i have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security company where my client lodged these huge deposits. Particularly, the security company where the deceased had an account valued at about (US$7.5million) U.S dollars. Consequently, the security company issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you share the same surname so that the proceeds of the account valued at US$7.5million can be paid to you for both of us to share the funds; 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup the claim, in lieu of the above, I also want to inform you of the need to make preparations to go to london,U.k where the security company maintains an offshore remittance claims center where clientele from Europe and America receive all deposits made in their favour. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please indicate your readiness to assist me, so that all the information's about this funds will be passed to you immediately.You should send to me your full names,Contact address, your private telephone for oral conversation .You can get in touch with me through my private e-mail address ([email protected]) for further discussion as we progress .

CORONA DEL MAR ? An 80-year-old Newport Beach man who received an e-mail from a stranger saying that he'd won the lottery lost $749,741 in a scam, police said.
Wilton Hebert of Corona told police Tuesday that he had wired money into an international bank account some time in July.
Reached at home, Hebert said he didn't want to talk about the case.
Lt. Steve Koudelka of the Newport Beach Police Department said the scam, where a fraudulent e-mail is sent to countless e-mail addresses, was run from Spain.
"He kept sending 'em more money and more money," Koudelka said.
