ONLINE SHOPPING SCAMS / FRAUDS WEBSITES

At 29th of August besthdelectronics.com was registered on godaddy.com and went online as a shopping website.
In reality it was nothing more than a scam/fraud website with only one purpose, steal your credit card and identity information and most probably resell them for peanuts.
This website was not and is not alone or the only one. Another one the kgadgets.co.uk also registered the same date was very similar to the previous in terms of design and had the exact same purpose. This also went offline a few days after I discovered it.

There are a few things in common on scam / fraudulent shopping online web-pages.

  1. T have too good to be true prices. That is the bait. Visitors think they are mis-prices or just excellent deals and go for it regardless.
  2. They have no online reputation. Zero or minimal Google results. A shopping site that just started has of course zero reputation but usually somehow throughother means, even if just online.
  3. So far they had no contact details at all. No telephone number, no vat registration, no post address, no owners name, no email, not even P.O. box.
  4. They had an online contact form, you could fill and ask questions but they NEVER replied.
  5. Because usually they copy other websites, they have inconsistencies. For example they may state they are 10 years in business, but then you look their webpage copyright and it is for different number of years.
  6. These particular ones after you made a purchase, they rushed to ask for credit card details BEFORE providing postage information. I mean ok, some provide free postage, but they tell you they do so.
  7. Once you made a transaction through their system, your order would be canceled! Of course since they do not sell anything, they don't want to raise suspicion on themselves.

I am pretty sure they have read this blog and have seen my remarks that reveal their fraudulent nature. And this probably means that next time, they will probably make sure to cover most if not all the points above, for example by using some kind of fake telephone number, or some sort of fake VAT registration number, or some fake address, or some fake or real email.

The bottom line is this: BE CAREFUL OF ONLINE SHOPPING SCAMS / FRAUDS. There are a lot out there. If by any chance you had shared your details with some suspicious website, I would suggest to cancel your card at once!

and God bless as my Nigerian "friends" say.

Our client BRIGADIER AMER ALI NAYEF, a businessman and also who was with the Iraqi forces, made a fixed deposit, of Twenty Two million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch, a number of notices was sent to him, before the war which began in 2003 and also after the war but, no response came from him. We later found out that Brigadier Amer Ali Nayef was shot dead along with his son, Khalid Amer also in the force as they left the family home for work in the south of the city.
After more inquiry it was also discovered that the late Brigadier, did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. What bothers me most is according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 6 years the funds will be reverted to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds, Against this scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these funds and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the deposit, there is no risk involved in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legitimate method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.

RESUME SCAM, CV SCAM

DO NOT PROVIDE RESIDENCE ADDRESSES WHEN SUBMITTING CVs TO ONLINE WEBSITES.
ANYONE CAN FIND THEM AND COMMIT IDENTITY FRAUD, BLACKMAIL YOU OR SCAM YOU IN OTHER WAYS.

ALSO USE A UNIQUE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THE CVs YOU SUBMIT.
this way you can track unauthorized email usage and avoid scammers harassing you.

CV Scam, Resume Scam

I had a rather unpleasant experience recently.
I received an spam-scam email in an email address I do not normally receive spam or scam emails. Although I was intrigued as to where could someone find this email address, I responded to it in the hope to uncover more info on the origin of the scam and the scammer.
In the end I did and this info is in this blog. But the scammer proved to be quite resourceful. He found my name and email address in an online resume I posted in some job searching agencies. I didn't find a job but I a scammer did find me.

His email was one of the usual scams and was asking my details. Name, residence address, telephone number etc. However what I didn't know was that the scammer had already that info from my resume. In any case I uploaded the details he provided me here and he was smart enough to google his fake self and find this info.
Initially he asked kindly to remove the info and when I didn't comply he sent me an email with my details which he already had from my CV.
HOLLY SHIT! I mean really!
The lucky thing was that this was a very old address of mine and since then I had changed quite a few houses.
He also threatened to send drugs to my house to which I responded inviting him to come and get high together.

I must admit this mofaka was good.

The moral of the story is: DO NOT PROVIDE ADDRESSES WHEN SUBMITTING ONLINE CVs WHICH ARE VISIBLE TO ANYONE

some educating serious funy stuff

Perhaps this is why lots of peoples email accounts are getting hacked sending spam messages to their contact lists for bogus sites, products and offers...

My Dearest,

Thank you very much for your mail.I am very glad to read through your mail today and i am admired with you. Let me write you my biography.I was born in Sierra Leone in West Africa.I am a single girl of 26 years and i do not have kids. But i am presently living in Dakar-Senegal which is neighboring country to my country due to the civil war and crisis in my Country Sierra Leone.

I am presently residing here in Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country some years ago. My late father was a politician and the managing director of a Gold & Mine Ind in Sierra Leone before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my father in cold blood.It was only me that is alive now and i managed to make my way to near by country Senegal where i am living now as a refugee through United Nation Security Agency.

I would like to know more about you.Your likes and dislikes,your hobbies and what you are doing presently. I really want to have a good relationship with you,Once again, A relationship of deep feeling that will construct a mutual understanding. I will tell you more about myself in my next mail. Attached here is my pictures and i will like to see yours,

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Yours in Love

Miss Rose,

My Darling,

Many thanks for your delighted mail. I am very glad to read through your mail this morning, really. how was your night? hope fine in your side. Mine is a little bit cold over here in Dakar-Senegal.Like i told you in my last mail, in this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only on mondays and fridays of the weeks.Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon.

I don't have any relatives now whom i can go to all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war, the only person i have now is ( Rev.Henry Biko) who is the pastor of the (Church) here in the camp he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am living in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels, one for men the other for women.The Pastor's Tel number is ( +221-776-263-778) if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me, he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilledge to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the traggic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.

Please listen to this (it's a secret,even the Revrend don't know about it),i have my late father's statement of account and his death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in one of the leading Financial House in which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $7,000,000.00(Seven Million US Dollars).So i will like you to help me retrieved and transfer the money to your account and from it you will send some money for me to get my travelling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you.I kept this secret to people in the camp here so in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it.

Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you now.I like honest and understanding people,truthful and a man of vision,truth and hardworking .Have a nice day and think about me.Awaiting to hear from you soonest.Attached is my picture i will like to see yours. Please as soon as you receive this mail try to call me +221-776-263-778, i will be happy if you send me your picture and call me so that i can hear your sweet voice.

Yours Ever,
Rose Timbo.

Dearest Friend,

I am Mrs. Susan Amson from Netherlands, I am 58 years old, I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I can't work or do any stressful thing, according to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child,

My Husband (Roberto Amson) died in a fatal motor accident before his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $2.6 million dollars with a Security Company in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long with attract a demurrage fees as the security fees paid by me has expired or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated.

So instead of getting it confiscated I rather have someone whom i can trust to receive the funds and utilize it according to my wishes.

And the best part of it is, the security company told me in the letter that they can have the consignment funds released to my approved person that was authorized by me or transferred to his bank account and if outside Kuala Lumpur Malaysia then transferred to his or her bank account.

Presently, I am using my laptop in the hospital at Frankfurt Germany where I have been undergoing treatment for my sickness. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only more 2 months to live.

It is my last wish to see atleaset 60% of this money is invested/donated to any organisation/buisness of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, e.g. the poor homes, the motherless babies home where I came from, the deaf homes, and churches etc.

All I seek for is a God fearing person like you ,who will carry out my last wishes and before I emailed you today i prayed and the holy spirit gave me the confidence to send you this email. I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the Security Company in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

Please send me the Below information;

NAME:
ADDRESS:
AGE:
OPCCPATION:
TELEPHONE NO:

All I need from you is a confidential assurance that the funds when received by you will be used for the said purpose, Nowadays there are so much scams going on in the internet and it is difficult to trust but I don’t know why the Holy spirit still approved me to email you about this out of few email addresses i have from the internet, yours was the only one that my mind convinced me to contact.

Waiting for your reply.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Susan Amson
