Watch out for Scams!
Last updated February 16, 2007
New to me: The "Please help me" Phone Scam:
Overcharging Credit Card Scam
This scam seems to have some or all of the following
characteristics:
-
Originates from a free email service (yahoo, hotmail,
etc)
-
Stilted English (like the African "transfer millions of
dollars" scam)
-
Originator has a respectable title, like Dr., Rev., etc.
-
Looking to book accommodation for engineers, doctors or
pastors / missionaries
-
I wish to make downpayment with my Visa Card
Note that a free email service will often put a little ad at
the bottom of the email. Click here for an email that
illustrates this.
If you are feeling frisky and want to play these people and
scam them back, give them the phone number of your local RCMP detachment. Maybe
they will call. Or direct them to the contact info on

Dear Rick,
Thanks for your reply and assistance so far .I am glad to tell you
that we have concluded payment with the delegates.
However we are going to send you the Credit Card Information that
will cover the cost of our accomodation,and the necessary arrangment
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,but because of security reasons and
confidentiality,we have decided that only one person will have to
handle the credit card information.
So once you are in receipt of it,you are required to charge the
credit card,confirm the amount of {$9500 CAD) in your account then
deduct the cost of your services $5500 CAD and send $4000 CAD via
Money Gram International Transfer, to the car hiring agent whose
information will be forwarded to you once this is confirmed.
So confirm this and provide me w! ! ith your
1) YOUR FULL NAME
2) ADDRESS
3) PHONE NUMBERS for office records.
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.

Jimmy Stoll.
HAHAHAHA The integrity of our agency is
involved. What integrity does this piece of plankton have? I respond
to Jimmy:
Glad to hear that things are working out, Jimmy. It's nice to
have this kind of firm reservation as tourism seems to be low in
this region this year.
I will be glad to take your credit card information and send you the
extra money. I am very aware of the integrity of your agency and am
treating this transaction with all the respect I can muster.

Notice that he's starting to set the
hook (so he thinks) by informing me that he is going to send credit
card details. You know that he's going to ask for more $$$ and offer
to give me expenses. |

Time for a little fun. Check out the
deal that I'm offering him:
The total cost for the 6 people will be $1400
(14 nights, 3 rooms!),
which includes accommodation, hot cooked gourmet breakfast and
champagne and chocolates in the rooms upon arrival. The supplies of
champagne and chocolates will be replenished every 3 days. We are
having our annual summer sale at that time so you are in luck.
In addition, we are offering optional BBQ suppers for a small fee of
$2.00 per person, including rib steak, potatoes and homecooked
vegetables. I am sure that your delegates will want to take
advantage of that.
Please tell me your prepayment arrangements and then visit our

Subject: VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE
Thanks for the quotation, Please we are going to make
prepayment for the rooms immediately and I have called my
inspection agent because now am in Hong Kong for business engagement
so he will be coming to your office from London to inspect the rooms
and give you the actual time the clients will be arriving also give
you their flight details so that you can arrenge for their transfers
before my clients will arrive so you will include extra 2,000
Euro and charge it from my card along with the reservation amount
then you will help me to send the money to my inspection agent for
his travelling expenses to your office, also remenber to charge from
my card the extra charges involve in charging and transferring the
money to my agent, so when you charge the payment I will
send to you his details so that you will wire the money to him
through western union money transfer so that he can come over
immediately for inspection and to deliver the necessary informations
to you, please advise so that I will go ahead to send my credit card
for the payment.

Dear Peter;
Sounds like everything is in order. Please visit my website and
submit your credit card information there. The URL that you should
use is:
http://www.bbexpo.com/rooms_available.asp
Here's the link again for the 3rd time.
Could we interest you in our very special summer special, where we
are offering helicopter tours of Niagara Falls followed by a tour of
Okanagan wineries, and an evening at the casino in Old Montreal? The
cost for that would be an additional $49 per guest. It might give
them a good feel for our part of the country.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Cordially yours,
Rick Hawkes

I bcc'd this to a few other accounts,
like abuse@yahoo.com and
abuse@hotmail.com I haven't
heard from him since. Maybe he clicked the link, or maybe Yahoo shut
him down. Good riddance. |
