Nigerian scam has become Dutch scam!

I have just received one of these endless scams, this
time not from a "prince something" somewhere in
Africa, but from a seemingly Dutch person, allegedly
representing the Economic Society of Netherlands
Chamber of Trade and Commerce, and sent from
the British provider .tiscali.co.uk.

I am amazed to see how these persons are absolutely
shameless in their continuous scam, and even more
that they now seemingly act also from Europe. I would
assume, though, that any Dutch society of the said
nature would have an email-address located in Holland,
on their own server, and not a public server in GB.

Comments?

Is this the one that has a web site and the billion dollar lottery? The
email tells you you have won several million and they want you to not
collect but enter thier billion dollar round, you also absolutely cannot
tell anyone but you have to send them your information. The have a web site
and nice pictures of people who are supposed to be the lottery employees.
It's either Dutch or it could be Belgian.

I got one today, telling me I have won 600,000 Euros
in the Spanish "El Gordo" Lottery - and asking for my
personal details etc. in order to claim the prize!

....I WISH!!

David.

Yes, it is quite amazing that anyone falls for these scams, but a few
weeks ago there was a report in our newspaper about the huge amounts of
money that people are still losing because greed wins out over common
sense. Canadians have lost tens of millions of dollars to these
scamsters, and some have even been killed when they show up in Africa to
clain their "windfall".

And as long as people fall for the scams, there will be jerks out there
who take advantage of the poor sods, if not in Africa or Holland then
somewhere else.

PT Barnum was right, I'm afraid. There is a sucker born every minute.

Well, there is one rule for this...

Never, Never, NEVER send Bank Account or
Savings Account numbers in reply to requests
for personal details!

Give an Address, if you must 'find out' what they
want, but NOTHING else!

David.

Those things are forbidden in many western countries!!
It is possible to modify the real address from a mail: the from is
false and often you must go into the detail of the message to see
where it comes! Some viruses make the same.

You have to use a filter to send those messages to the basket! I use
MOZILLA as browser and and stop now more then 50% of those things.

No, they are called "Werken bij de Lotto". They also tried their
luck with me about one year ago ;-)

Oh my. The worst thing about this is...more spam!

By definition, Mette, a spam/scam artist *is* shameless. Somehow our
societies have produced people without conscience; in many cases they are
incapable of feeling any normal human emotions whatsoever. I read some
time
ago of a study of delinquent teenagers, who were asked to identify the
emotions displayed by drawings of people with differing facial
expressions.
Many of them were not able to differentiate between expressions anger and
happiness. A smile could be as threatening to them as a grimace.

They *are* shameless, I know. You should see what I sometimes
receive ;-) Sometimes my curiosity bids me to read these posts,
and I can do that easily without "opening" it by clicking on "properties"
in the menu of my mail program.

Before she retired from teaching, my wife became disillusioned by the
prevalence of "good kids" in her classes -- even her academic classes --
who
had become accomplished liars. Even when she caught them in obvious lies,
trying to explain why they hadn't completed an assignment or why they had
not been in class, they would try to cover themselves with further lies,
all
without compunction.* It's hardly surprising: What kind of role models do
they see in society? Presidents and prime ministers routinely lie about
personal and public matters, and break laws with apparent impunity.
Parents
are often absent in both physical and emotional senses; we currently have
a
case of an 11-year-old car thief here in Vancouver who is being watched 24
hours a day by shifts of people who have been hired to do just that, watch
him to keep him from stealing cars! Something is wrong with a society that
can't control an 11-year-old. Such a society will produce every sort of
imaginable criminal in abundance, including scam artists.

Bob (a *scan* artist!) :^)

* These kids are partly the reason Susan took an early retirement. She
couldn't stand being a cop in the classroom any more. It's too bad,
because
she was a great teacher.

Mette, I collect and keep all the scam mails I receive, just for fun.
I have 576 at the moment - want to trade? :-)

65 are from Madam Mariam Mobutu Sese-Seko who
in July 2003 escaped from Zaire (Congo) with her two sons Timothy and
Basher?
In november 2002 she escaped with Kongolo and Basher.
In december 2002 it was with Kongolo and Nzanga
In april 2003 it was with Patrick and Dan
In september 2002 it was with Johnson and Basher.

So, she managed to escape with 6 of her sons! (no daughters?). Lucky
her!
