Another Scam
 

"Dear,

Congratulations from me and members of staff of the FedEx office,Ari
soi 8 branch,Bangkok Thailand,you are the lucky person selected to
receive an undelivered ATMCASH atm card that has been abandoned in our
vault for 2 years.

The atm card was prepaid online on the ATMCASH website in your country
and posted via FedEx from your country to Thailand 2 years ago but has
remained unclaimed by the sender and recipient for the past 2 years
and we have been unable to contact the sender and receiver of the
card,the atm card is prepaid with USD $100,000 (One hundred thousand
United States Dollars).

We are giving out the atm card because it has overstayed in our vault
and the sender did not provide a return address so the validity period
for the sender or receiver to claim the card has expired,so now we
have no option but to send the card back to your country,and according
to Thai law,the card must be sent back to someone in your country and
we the staff of the FedEx office can not partake or share in the money
from the unclaimed atm card and it is highly illegal and punishable by
law for us to assign a relation or friend in your country to receive
the card,that is why the card is going to an entirely neutral person
that was why we selected you through a random online ballot to claim
the card.

If you are interested in claiming the card,you will have to give us
your home or postal address and you will also have to pay a Thai
government tax of $792 USD (Seven Hundred and Ninety-Two United States
Dollars).

Once we receive your address and you pay the tax to the Thai
government,the Thai gvernment will permit us to post the card to you
within 24 hours and it will be delivered to you within 72 hours,with
the ATMCASH atm card,you can withdraw the money from any ATM machine
in your location.

To get more information on ATMCASH and how it works,visit the ATMCASH
website on : www .atmcash. com

Anticipating your reply.

As soon as I pay the "tax" they will "post" the card to me....why wouldn't they just send it by FedEx?

The sad thing is a lot of people will pay the money. Inspite of all the publicity of these scams some people can not be saved from their own stupidity.

there was a local documentary about people ripped off by scams and some still believed they were going to get varst sums of money from the Nigerians inspite of a documentary, staring them, talking about the scams.

Lisa is a busy woman. She is also the Manager of Western Union according to a google search of her name. :)

"....why wouldn't they just send it by FedEx?"


probably too expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who sends them money is too stupid to have money and deserves having it taken from thrm. Sounds harsh, but these "victims" are greedy and stupid, and that's a bad combo!!

Take a hundred grand out of an ATM?

Delete - Move on......

It's not just stupid people that get taken in.

A buddies mom who is 85 and has altsheimers "donated" $100 to send orphans to the circus. He has power of attorney and when her CC statement came in there was the charge. He called them up and had to fax a copy of the power of attorney to them before they would refund the money. She no longer has a CC.

An Aussie guy transferred $250,000 to an over seas "investment" company... That company turned out to be bogus and his money is gone.
He claims he did some research on-line about this company and then sent them the money.

I'm trying to understand why any body would even contemplate investing in any company international or otherwise before making 100% sure they're legit.

I think the underlying problem here is "greed".

I have been looking to replace my shop jeep, and have replied to a bunch of ads for Grand Cherokee's that were posted locally on Craigslist. This was in my in box this morning.


Hello,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee , I am selling this vehicle because I am in the military and my unit will be sent back to Afghanistan. I don't want it to get old in my garage. The price is low because I need to sell it before July 16th. The vehicle is in pristine condition, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Roxane adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced and never smoked in. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $1,900. I bought it when I was serving in Fort Belvoir, VA (the truck is still there) and in case it gets sold I will take care of delivery. Let me know if you are interested, email back.

Transmission: Automatic
Interior color: Tan
Mileage: 72,436
Engine: 4.7L 8

Thank you !

Worded a little differently, but has all the makings of the typical scam. I sent an e mail back that I was a cash , in person buyer ,and where, and when could we meet. I bet I don't get another contact. seems like their grammar has improved some though.

You may have to put on the red lights.
