Been receiving scam private messages from this unregistered user email: fatema_al_sabah@yahoo.com, she claims that she is dying from cancer and has a large sum of money to give away.

Beware fellow ablewisers.

I just received and email from the gentleman below. He wants to invest 8.5 million in a company here in the U.S. and needs my help with the financial transactions. Yeah Right!! As if I could get a bank acct. for that much money. LOL. His message starts out God Bless, this is such an insult. So beware, the crooks are trying every avenue to get your money.

I received the same email . . . . said she was in Kuwait and money was somewhere else, and she didn't want other family to get to it . . . . This seems to be a variation on the Nigerian scam emails that circulate . . . As with the old addage . . . . if it is too good to be true . . . it probably is . . .

I too have been receiving similar emails. Plus I received a check for $4995. It stated it was from a Mystery Shopper Program. At first I believed the letter, since I just signed up to be a Mystery Shopper. I called the number on the letter and they told me to cash the check and call them back so we could review my assignments.

I obtained the cash, called them back, started doing my assignments when I started to have this bad feeling. I kept asking myself why are a couple shops $50 shops, the form to fill out doesn't really request specific data and why are the other two shops to wire large sums of money?

I was a foul and wired the money related to one assignment, but then I decided that I wasn't going to hurry and call them to report the info so the person on the other end could collect the money. Instead I decided to drive home and research this online. Of course the Mystery Shopper Company, plus the Issuing Bank's website had the "Fraud Alert" posted.

I did obtain all the funds back and was able to put the funds back into my checking account. But when I talked with Western Union about this issue, they told me that 1,000s of people have fallen for this scam and they lost over $4,000.

Just please beware. What made me start thinking/wondering about it, was why did I apply online and obtain the assignment via mail, then was instructed to fax back the survey paperwork. It just didn't sound right. I should have been inputting info online, then possibly faxing in hard copies if anything.

Just please be aware and careful.

Thanks Janine

Hi Janine, sorry for the whole stressful situation you have just gone through with the fraud company etc. However, the reason for this reply has totally nothing to do with that. I simply wanted to say that my daughter is named Janine too, and we also call her J9!!

Hi

Yes,I have received such emails on a number of occasions.
Also beware of those that ask you to accept money to put into your account until they come to the country.

All scams, or at best, misleading advertising. I get hundreds of these as I have dozens of emails, and a couple hundred web sites, so I am major target as I list my emails on my site. Just send them to spam folder and ignore them is best advice.

Good luck to all, Mike
