They didn't address it to your legal name.

I assume it was a "contest" that you didn't enter.

They ask you to keep it quiet.

These are all warning signs, Zelda. Trash it.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

 

[trailblazer6]

Yes by all means Trash it now. Don't give them any personal info or bank account number.

Welcome to 419Eater

Some rather interesting stories there

That site is hilarious!! I was going to post it if someone hadn't already done so. In one of my favorite stories, the scam-baiter actually talks the spammer into getting his name tatooed onto his arm... and sending him a picture!

Quasi, some people just plain ain't too smart !!!

 

[scapegoat]

Grrrrrr... just typed for 30 minutes, a couple of scam stories to share, and it made me have to re-login and it all was lost. This is getting frustrating. Why would ANY settings, whether it's on my end or a conflict with the server log me out while I'm typing the whole time?

 

[TexasRain104]

lol reply with the name detective xxxxx and the number for the fbi

Dont...Even if its a scam, you dont want to become the suspect!

Report it to the authorites. They may be working a case and you have the missing link!

 

[zoiDman]

If you send me $19.95 I can show you how to never to get this type of scam again.

A Hot Tip for this forum or any site when you enter in a large amount of info.

Before you click "Submit", Highlight the text you just typed and then right click on it and say "Copy". That way if you get logged off or if the server kacks, you can go back to the entry form and click "paste".

Or you can do what I do. Write your post in a new e-Mail from Outlook and when it is done, copy and paste it into the new post box.

was from the Director of the FBI, not F.B.I. Finally I got ticked off and forwarded an e-mail to the F.B.I.'s computer crimes division. Then about a month ago I read in the paper where the real F.B.I. is a little ticked themselves and are going after the scammer. Other than that I get all the scam prize winning spam from all over the world. I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have won so many contests! My dad once got a phone call scam. They wanted money to send him his winnings, he told them to take the fee out of the winnings and send him the rest. Dad was very animated on our side of the phone!

One of the reasons I prefer Firefox... it keeps all the forms filled out so you just hit the "Back" button or ALT-left arrow.

I've heard a lot of people have trouble being signed out continuously after linking ECF to their Facebook account.
I'm not aware of any fix for it.

 

[Victor Frankenstein]

Every now and then I'll play with those guys. Here are the last two I messed with.

Hot damn! I’m RICH! RICH I TELL YOU!

[JerryRM]

I kept getting one and I kept trashing it. Finally they sent me one that said that "because I haven't cooperated with them they have informed the FBI and I am being investigated". I had a good laugh at that one.

That was the last time I heard from those clowns.

 

[nicotime]

Jerry...I know your just trying to keep your "official" title....but you really should stop sending people that stuff.;-)

Nicotime, I almost sent them a response, saying that I was a big-time criminal and the FBI didn't scare me....etc., but I felt that if I sent them an answer, I would probably be put on a "suckers list", and get flooded with scam e-mail.

How about this guy and his scam?
May 28 - An appearance on the TV reality show "Judge Judy" has brought a Spokane man more than just 15 minutes of syndicated fame.

Joshua J. Mulvey, 26, now faces new criminal charges in an Internet fraud scheme after a Snohomish County man who saw the episode recognized Mulvey as the same person who conned him out of $2,500 last year, police say.

Mulvey appeared Thursday in Spokane County Superior Court, where the new theft charges were added to the 10 counts he was charged with in February after investigators unraveled what they described as an elaborate con game that preyed on people responding to bogus Craigslist postings advertising cars for sale.

Mulvey appeared on the courtroom drama within the last two years with his ex-girlfriend, who he was suing for repayment on a car he said he sold to help her financially. But the show's host, former family court judge Judith Sheindlin, was unsympathetic. She concluded Mulvey had fraudulently sold the car and ruled in the ex's favor.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we try to deceive," Sheindlin said. "Goodbye Mr. Mulvey; from this court you get nothing. You're a con man."

The criminal case against Mulvey broke last fall when Washington State Patrol Detective-Sergeant E.J. Swainson, who used to work in Spokane, recognized the reported Craigslist scheme as likely being the work of Mulvey, whom he investigated a few years ago in a theft case tied to street racing.

Swainson told a Snohomish County investigator about Mulvey's "Judge Judy" appearance, who instructed the alleged victim, Kyle Delfel, to watch the episode.

In the TV show, which is available on the Internet, Mulvey identified himself as a 24-year-old full-time student at Spokane Falls Community College who lived with his father. Delfel told police he was "100 percent" sure Mulvey was the man who conned him.

"Delfel mentioned the subject's tone of voice, speech patterns and speed of speech were all exactly similar to the subject he'd spoken with on the phone," according to court documents. "He was particularly struck by Mulvey's explanation on 'Judge Judy' of how he obtained a motor, stating Mulvey spoke in the exact same manner on the phone with him (Delfel.)"

Mulvey has been in jail since his arrest in February at a Coeur d'Alene motel. He's already charged with more than 10 felonies, including identity theft, malicious mischief and theft.

Mulvey, the son of longtime Spokane County sheriff's Deputy Ronald Mulvey, served time in prison for a 2004 investigation in which, detectives said, a group used Internet fraud to obtain stolen car parts to make its vehicles fast for street racing. He has 18 felony convictions.

Investigators in that case described Mulvey as a "genius" who had the talent to work for government intelligence agencies but used his smarts to con sellers into shipping him cars and parts without paying first.

His bail was set Thursday at $25,000 on two counts of second-degree theft and third-degree theft. That's in addition to $50,000 for the new charges.

Mulvey was attacked in the jail in late April and suffered a fractured bone in his face and briefly lost consciousness, jail deputies said. Convicted killer Matthew T. Shope, 19, has been charged with first-degree assault.
