I got a letter recently here in Germany (looked real at first glance) from the "British Office" of ElGordo lottery. Supposedly I had won € 10023138,12.

I don't know about you guys but I always get these types of emails. Most of them come from Nigeria. You would think that by now, everyone would know about these kinds of emails so these less desirables would move onto some new kind of scam.
I always reply asking to give me their home or business address so we can complete the transaction in person. To my surprise, they never reply.

The latest ones I get are "Someone has been using your Credit Card and we need to check if it's really you", type of stuff.
Then with the Banks and Building Societies being taken over by one another, there is the "Your account with ABC is now being managed by XYZ. Please re-register using your old account details and passwords to access your new account", scam.

Has nothing to do with scam but....
Yesterday i saw a TV program where a 14 years old kid from Germany had stolen thousands of Paypal and ebay account passwords (from those people who use one password for everything i.e. forums, ebay, paypal, etc.) through a simple automated computer program.
So, change your ebay and paypal (or other online payment systems) password if you use the same password in other places like foros, youtube, etc.

I hope that was a joke. By replying, you signalise that your account is active and that way you have a good chance to get more mails. Which doesnt meant that if you dont respond, you would get rid of them of course

I did something which i usually never do. I opened a spam mail (i never see them, due to filters). Well, apparently there is a young mom in russia needing my help to bring a new stove to her (to survive the winter or course^^) ... or, how practical, simply buy her one. The best thing is, she has a website and uploaded a picture

It was a joke. I have however made up another email address and used a fake name. I then send these people the same email they sent me but I change whatever names they use in the email.

I get this one a lot too. It's always from a young woman in Russia and it always has a link to her photo. Which is always of an attractive woman.

I checked out the Russian girl wanting a stove story on Snopes.com. They reperted that this was such a sucessful scam that the guy who set it up ebded up one of the largest retailers of freestanding wood stoves in Siberia...all posted to him for free.
Scam the scammer can be a game to play when you are bored. I have the head of Nat west bank at the moment trying to deposit 6 million dollars into my account. He was very excited by my fake passport and hasnt twigged that my home address is interpol!!!!

The father of a friend of mine is some kind of federal agent working against these kind of actions and he said once it's suprising how much money these people make. I guess there will always be enough senior citizens or people who don't get out much that are easy to scam.
In Germany we have problems with mail box companies offering internet I.Q., real age and love tests with prices over €50 hidden in the terms and conditions. They'll then get collection agencies on you to try to scare you into paying. When a court rules their business illegal they change their name and start over.
The world is full of evil people...

THere are plenty of people brand new to the internet everyday that are the true targets of these scams. "God fearing" people. The one I got today I like, "even though you did not help me last time, my new partner (is it YOU tom?) and I want to share a small percentage with you anyway. 1.2 million.
