Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Wednesday, May 10, 2006

This scammer has clearly taken heed of what I have been saying about scammers lacking imagination. Instead of the usual drivel about winning lotteries or dead men's' bank accounts, this scammer claims that he is running a conference for those organisations and individuals interested in aiding those affected by war.

The problem is that the email is badly written, the sender's email address is based in Russia and the scammer wants my passport number.

A clear set of danger signals.

Never, ever, ever send your passport number, birth details or any other personal details to a stranger who approaches you in this manner.

This is a scam designed to steal your id.

Dearš Colleagues,
