I've started this blog to give a heads up on all the Email Scams that I come across from just my personal emails. I will be posting each one as a post so its whole format of the scam can be seen and hopefully be avoided. Hopefully the more people that can be informed, less chance of someone being victimized. And maybe slow them down a little. Please feel free to share and follow. As I update almost daily.

Yes I had this one yesterday as well. Rang Rev Mark Taylor, very strong carribean accent, assured me it was all ok! Very poor English in the follow up e mail, not exactly as one would expect. I am tempted to follow it up with an unused bank account that does not contain any funds and see where it leads!
ReplyDeleteI had one of these! Although I'm not sure what they stand to gain with just name, address, age, sex and phone number!!
ReplyDeleteI know this post is a little old but will try to help.
ReplyDeletewhat they're looking for is to make another ID with accurate info. you may think name,address,Phone#,age,sex.requests may not represent a threat to your persona,but just think for a second, that if you give them just that info well then your giving them your ID, with just your name and age they're able to request your Social Security Number, and there are web-sites for that purpose and they only charge $1 to $3 dollars per request or get a monthly subscription for like $30 bucks a month and you to do as many as you can.
Its horrible yes but the Internet laws and regulations differ by a BIG CHUNK in foreign countries, South America,India,Egypt,Middle East, just to name a few are places were they give a rats ass if its really you.
Ever wonder why some of the best hackers in youtube are from foreign countries? Best advice is that you request more info about them and ask them to sent you a letter from their company but give them a made up name and a relatives address that way neither you or relatives would be compromise. and for God sake don't have your browser save any of your passwords and set your browser to remember NO HISTORY of your browsing, believe me this will save you a headache!!!!
