Members flatcat Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 One thing I've noticed about scammers is that they're really not good spellers - "temporally suspend your account", for example. Also, their grammar is dodgy - "...with who you are dealing with". Marketing departments are incredibly anal about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GrooveMonkey Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 I almost fell for this one. It's an overpayment scam and they tried to book rooms at my Bed & Breakfast. Check out the following: ********************************** Hello, Thanks for your reply and assistance so far. We have agreed on the price and the rooms are good for us. As for the payment, we are paying the whole sum.Again I am glad and happy to tell you that we have concluded payment with the delegates. However, a Certified Bank Check of 7,000USD was earlier made out, for a room reservations whose services were not up to the standard of what your home is offering to us now. Which was meant for the ACCOMODATION, PROVISION FOR HIRING CAR,and other necessary arrangement. I have now been instructed to send you the check, which will cover the cost of accommodation and all the necessary arrangement for the delegates. Moreover, we also made an arrangement with a pre paid car hiring firm who will supply the delegates with cars they will use during their stay .So you are required to deduct the cost of your services $3111.40 and send the balance of $3,888.6 to the car hiring agent whose information will be forwarded to you as soon as possible. So confirm this and provide me with your (1) YOUR FULL NAME (2)ADDRESS (3) PHONE NUMBERS, for payment to be delivered to you via courier on or before wednesday next week. Please remember that the integrity of our agency is involved, so this business requires prompt response. I also hope the stay of the delegates will be made comfortable. Sincere Regards Peter Smith ************************************** Nice try douche nozzle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
