Poor Lolly! should I help her?

[beaky]

Got this e-mail recently, from an address ending with a Hong Kong suffix ("hk").

Anyone want to help? If so, send your money and/or bank account info to me and I'll see that Lolly gets it.

Can you believe that people will actually respond to something like this. I say if you give them your private info, then Lolly deserves it!  ;D

I have to say, this is the best phishing attempt I have ever seen. I was actually able to understand it the first time I read it.

I get these all the time from about every country on the planet.

I really get a kick out of all the ones that come from banks all over the world that I've never heard of saying they've upgraded their security and need me to go on-line and fill out new personal information.

I wish there was a FO you could click......

Some of these actually get extremely believable, espeically if you start to talk to them (I suggest you NEVER do this without getting some extra information and being very careful) they really try and persuade you and will do just about anything to get the money.

There's a whole group of people who use these scams to cause stress and distract them from real victims, they sometimes get some really funny stuff. They also spend time shutting down the scammers bank and phone accounts when they can

Having spent many years carefully studying Human behaviour, ie; gullibility/stupidity, etc, I am firmly convinced that there are zillions of dimwits falling for these scams every minute of the day......!

Long may they continue to enrich my understanding of the lack of Human brain power.... ...!

F.... 8-)...!

...Thanks for that TSC....I'm still laughing at that......."You lucky lucky b******!". Indeed!.......commoner



 I must say though I have had one or two myself including an Indian prince and African royals...surely you must all have had at least one?

Apparently, and I quote from a Times article......

Oh ive had some fun with these guys! Following advice from 419eater, i used to have a spare email address, and ended up with literally hundreds of these requests for help, and the money i shoud have gained would have made me the richest man on earth.

Ive had photos of them, all sorts of fake passports, documents, and weird and wonderful things. If you have the time and a good imagination, the stories you can spin to the scammers and what you can get them to do is quite astonishing.

I had one beliving i was 'Seymour Butts' of the Badgers Arse Industrial Toilet Tissue Company, worth millions, and eager to complete the 'deal' The correspondance went on for some time....

Heres somthing i sent the 'scammer' when he wanted proof who i was. How dare he question me!!!!!! Obviously he didnt know what Gene Wilder looked like





Great fun

Saw a story on something like this on Dateline and the guy from Dateline went over to England,I believe,to confront them undercover. When he exposed his cover one guy ran and another one just asked for a beer. Too funny.
