The Latest Scam

[Steve Plucker]

Whatever you do...if they ask "is so and so there" or if they say "are you so and so"...DO NOT SAY "YES"!.

I contacted Microsoft for help with a computer program. But it wasn’t Microsoft. I became suspicious when the phone call was passed on several times. Foolishly I gave them access to my computer and was told I needed 2 programs costing $1,800. I took the computer to my computer shop to be told all was well. I received an angry call when I declined to buy followed by a demand for $1,800 for products I received. Then demands from a debt collection agency for same. Then a request for compromise: they would settle for $1,000. This continued for some time so I put their business name into scamwatch. This all ended abruptly when they offered to end their demand it I withdrew my complaint. What was good for the goose is good for the gander.

I did get scammed for a large amount when I purchased a tractor from the internet. The bill came through ebay, well so I thought. All looked authentic. An invoice with a serial number on an ebay letterhead. I couldn’t get the money off fast enough for fear of missing this bargain. Transmitted through Western Union. It looks more than likely the cash went to Nigeria. I knew immediately that an endeavour to recover it was pointless.

I receive a phone call at least once each week advising my internet will be terminated unless I respond by pressing “0”. This is a goodcall for it keeps in my mind the venerability of being scammed. Particularly myself because I take people at face value. Too long dealing with farmers.

I hear that. Took me years not to trust what people say.

You guys are paranoid, you just have to use common sense when approached by people like this. If I was as paranoid as you guys I would have missed out on the fortune I am to split with a Nigerian prince. Yes it cost me several hundred dollars to help get his funds released but when they transfer my half of the money I will never have to work again.

That same Nigerian Prince called me also. I declined him. After reading your account I regret having done so. Maybe you could provide me a contact address so as I may remake contact with his Royal Highness.

He may have a brother who also needs help getting the royal trust funds released. It's really simple for such a huge return. You just send money by western union to the account number they will give you and then you sit back and WAIT for the millions to start rolling in. I'm having trouble contacting him at the moment because of the poor communications equipment in Nigeria. I've been super excited for the last three years WAITING on my funds to arrive. You just have to read between the lines and use your head or you miss out on life's opportunities.
