FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

The check-kiting scammers are now trying to use known company names and posting what seems like legitimate jobs. This message from a scammy scumbag showed up in my email this morning, and I post it here to alert folks so they don't follow up on this slimebag's tactics:
====WARNING! FRAUD! PHISIHING ALERT!!===============
I "blahblahblahblah'ed" out some facts
======================================================
Would you like to work online from home and get paid weekly ? July, 2006.
COCA-COLA needs a book-keeper in the your area, the company want's to know if you would like to work online from home and getting paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present job?.
HA! A likely scenario! Coca Cola sends out an email where the company contact doesn't know how to spell "bookkeeper" and "wants". HA!
The company produces various kinds of item's which are been supplied to clients in the United States weekly.
More clues that this isn't from a company... "item's" instead of "items". And Coke is in the business of producing soft drinks, not "item's (sic) which are been (sic) supplied to clients..."
These clients make payments for the supplies every week in form of Money Orders, Cheques and Wire Transfer, which are not readily cashable outside the United States. The Company need's someone in your area to work as a representative or book-keeper to assist the company in processing the payments from our clients and will be paid 20%. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS IN THE STATES, GET IT CASHED IN YOUR BANK THEN GET INFORMED ON THE AMOUNT TO DEDUCT AND FORWARD THE BALANCE TO THE COMPANY DOWN HERE THROUGH THE COMPANY ACCOUNT NUMBER OR MONEY TRANSFER.
HA! And HA! I say! This is a typical scam, where they "overpay" you and you forward money to other people. Anytime you see this kind of thing as a "job", RUN the other way and tell the authorities!
The clients payments will be issued out in your name.
Our European Agent Mr Teddy will immediately commence the process of your application if you are interested to the offer as soon as you contact him.

Gee. I wonder why they don't want "Theriffs" (sic) or cops or politicians involved. Don't you wonder? Golly. I'm just dying with curiosity!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
