Get to mail me back soon with your address. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------








This is to inform you that the transaction between You and your client Walter Gregory via PayPal and it has been reported to us, Which a legal action will be taken over you,because we are told that you refuse to comply with the procedure for the success of the transfer which has been approved as normal transfer and yet PayPal has not received the necessary information they needed from you while the transfer has exceeded the normal hours to complete the transfer,and you have to make the Refund of the money via Western Union Money Transfer immediately. You are given 48 hours after this alert.



Nevertheless, we want you to go and make the transfer of the money now,and mind you do not send the necessary details and the Western Union Scan receipt to your client but we want you to send the information directly to us at : fbi-cybercrime@cyberservices. com because the transfer issue has been forwarded to us.



We are the security agent assigned for the payment of the amount (€2,000.00 EUR) to your PayPal account, because you have to make the transfer of the money first to confirm the remittance of your money into your PayPal account,and without you making the Transfer of the money, PayPal will not credit your money into your account and you will be charged for fraud after the 48hours of which you had received this message and we also serve as agent to you because once we receive the transfer information from you, your account must be accredited within the next minute.




So you have to get back to us with the transfer details and also send to us the confirmation of the Western Union Money Transfer receipt of payment to us so we can get the prove from you and if PayPal did not transfer the money to your account


we can get them charged for dispute transfer system.





Thanks and we look forward to hear from you soon.

New scammer on Greek advertisement sites.

It has been some time since this blog actually published any new Scammer's details. But recently, after posting an online ad, someone contacted me wanting to buy my item.


His/Her current scammer email name is
Walter Gregory.
waltergregory@live.com
This one sends SMS using skype with the username Golden35, which can potentially change.
He is using the supposedly Transport Company: "Asped Express", which I do not know if it is real or not, but in order to be used from a scammer most probably it is not.

This person is also using the following telephone numbers:
+447031985044 or +447031974155 or +447031985044

He or she, is also using the common FAKE PAYPAL email payments, but this one "deposits" more money than asked for the item and then requesting to send via Western Union the overpayment to a given address.

The fake paypal emails come from:

p.aypalservice@accountant.com

and his/her address asking for the money is:




Name: Peggy Farrell
ADDRESS : 101 Chesterfield Road
City : London
POSTAL CODE : W1J 5JL
COUNTRY : United Kingdom.
I post this address rather reluctantly cause I am not sure if this is indeed the scammer's details. If this one has any kind of connections-ties with the particular Western Union branch, or has some other arrangements, he or she could provide a fake name and address and be able to change it at will.

Alternatively this person "Peggy Farrell" might be a mule. Which means that acts as a middle man between me and the real scammer who might be outside Europe. Usually in Nigeria. The reason I say that is because by chatting with various scammers over the years, one of them (I am not sure, but I may have posted it in the past) offered me this exact job. To receive money from people he scammed and then send that money to him.

Απατεώνας στο car.gr

Ο απατεώνας στην συγγεκριμένη περίπτωση, επικοινώνησε μαζί μου μέσω του car.gr και ζητούσε να του πουλήσω το αντικείμενο και να πληρώσει με paypal. Η πληρωμή που έκανε ήταν σαφώς ψέυτικη και κανα δυο χιλιάδες ευρώ πάνω από όσα ζητούσα τα οποία μου ζήτησε να του τα στείλω πίσω μέσω Western Union και μετά θα παραλάμβανα τα χρήματα στο λογαριασμό μου. Κλασσική απάτη, αν και δεν θυμάμαι να την είχα συναντήσει τις προηγούμενες φορές.

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

Hello there,
Thank you for the fast reply.
I am willing to proceed with the transaction now and pay you £430

via paypal right now as paypal is safe, fast and easy to send and
receive money online.

If you don't have a paypal account just login to www.paypal.com and

account home page, use it to request money directly from my paypal
account which is lindhalbert01@yahoo.com once I receive your money
request from paypal, I will submit payment to you via paypal asap.

Thanks
Mrs. Linda Halbert.

THIRD EMAIL after asking her to send the money to my account, rather than me requesting from him.

Hi there,
Kindly process the money request from paypal, because I do not want
any situation whereby you tell me maybe I sent payment to a wrong
account as this has happened in the past and when I contacted paypal,
they advise me to always request for payment invoice from seller then
I will use the link on the money request to submit payment to seller's
account directly. I can not proceed with the payment if I do not
receive paypal money request directly from your paypal account to mine
which is lindhalbert01@yahoo.com
Many thanks

Mrs. Linda Halbert.
