Introduction

I get a lot of scam emails. Most are obvious. The spelling is rotten, the grammar is worse, they often use God and relgion and titles such as Dr and Professor and Reverend. But they are getting more clever. I thought it would be worth posting scam emails I have received, lotto winning, I want to book your accommodation, please help me move fifteen billion dollars out of my war-torn country. That sort of thing.

Here are some general rules:
If it looks too good to be true, it most likely is.
If you didn't apply for something, why would you get it?
If they offer to pay more than they need too and you have to return the cost, don't touch it.
If they want your personal details, address, bank details, be very wary.
If they want to pay for something only by bank draft, be very wary.

PLEASE NOTE:-

Scammers often use the names and addresses and sometimes phone numbers of real persons and businesses. The appearance of any genuine names of businesses and persons, or phone numbers, on this site does not mean they are implicated in any scam or wrong-doing, it’s just another example of identity theft being used to con hard working folk out of their cash.
