Beware email scams
From: Laurenceau Martial <laurenceau_m@yahoo.fr> This scammer was Trying to sell a 2008 Range Rover for 18.500 Euros, it’s only 30-40,000 Euros below book price. So I thought I would keep him on the hook a little longer, after a few more emails he then wanted me to send the money via trans-autoconsignation@hotmail.com who in return would then deliver my bargin price Range Rover.
I then put his email address into Google and guess what he’s also selling a jet ski on an Italian website or was.
What can I say he gets the Car Supermarket Spain – Dumbo Award.
Please keep them comming, Name and shame. And please be aware!!!

Here I have another one:
Hello ___________
Thanks for your prompt reply to my request;
it seems to me that you are a very sincere person i want to use this
means to inform you that I will buy your Vehicle at your given price.
But I have a business proposal for you.
I am a captain with the United Nations troop in Iraq, on war against
terrorism. Based on the United States legislative and executive
decision, for withdrawing troops from Iraq. Our mission is to help
beef up terrorist targeted states, mostly the United States and the
European Union on war against terrorism.
On the other hand I want to inform you that I have in my possession
the sum of (15.9million U.S.D) Which I got from crude oil deal here in
Iraq. I deposited this money with a Red Cross agent informing them
that we are making contact for the real owner of the money. It is
under my power to approve who so ever that comes forth for this money.
I want to invest the money in your country as soon as I am deployed
for a good business, anyway you will advice me on that since I am not
a business person. I can not move this money to United States because
I will be in your country for about 3years, so I need someone I could
trust. If you accept i will transfer the money to you.
And you will be the beneficiary because I am a uniformed person and I
cannot be parading such an amount so I need to present someone as the
beneficiary. I am an American and an intelligence officer so to say, I
have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money through a
diplomatic courier service .I just need your acceptance and trust, and
then all is done. Please if you are interested in this transaction I
will give to you the complete details you need for us to carry out
this transaction successfully, I decided to find someone that is real
and not imaginary and that is why I went for a secured site where I
can be sure that the person is real. I believe I can trust you.
Where we are now we can only communicate through our military
communication facilities which is much secured so nobody can monitor
our conversation, then I can explain in details to you,at the moment i
can only reach you through email, because our calls might be
monitored, i just have to be sure of whom I am dealing with.
I will give to you 30% of the sum and 70% is for me. I hope am been
fair on this deal, get back to me with your full information such as:
Your Full Name————————–
Your Full Address————————
Your Direct Cell phone Number———————-
If you are interested please send me your personal details for further
information when I am out of our military network am writing from a
fresh email account so if you are not interested do not reply to this
e-mail and please delete this message, if no response after 3days I
will then search for someone else. I wait for your contact details so
we can go on.

Capt. Joseph Gregg Evans
