I've heard about this a while ago, they've sent me that junk email 5 times, I don't even open those emails now, they can send me 100 of those nothing will happen and make me fill a word.

It makes me wonder how a newbie can use the net? So much scams going around, virus, hackers, spams, sites that illegally download software into your computers, enough to worry about.

LOL..I got that too..

I forgot to bump my old thread here about such emails..

Thanks for posting this info..

This is one topic that doesn't hurt to have more than one thread of! There are 2 other threads on this topic (including one by me). Don't kid yourself, these con men wouldn't be doing this unless they were actually getting results from this scam, which is pretty sad. Protect yourself, fellow ebayers!

I always think, "who would possibly put their information into an e-mail and send it away?" Then last night my mother-in-law called and said she got a call from her credit card company because ebay e-mailed her asking for her credit card number and she sent it to them ... ;)

I actually filled out the info, but only after I found out it was a scam. It started a little like this: (edited for DP board content)

UserID: GoFu@kYour$elf
Password: Fu@kingA$$hole$

Then proceeded to fll out the next pop-ups with the same type of info.

I got this one. It's pretty nast for people that don't have common sense. Putting your SS# and your PIN number should be the tip off.

about as a result of a contract executed on behalf of my Ministry,
the (Federal Ministry of Works and Housing). This contract was officially
assigned to be awarded and executed by two

foreign contractors at the tune of US$80,500,000.00, but in the course of
our negotiation, we bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian

leaving the remaining US$17M to our (members of the CRP ) benefits unknown
to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has

securing his payment from my Ministry.

It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and approval
to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian contractor as

investment depending on your advice.On actualization of the transaction,
the funds will be shared thus:

1. 30% of the money go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds.
2. 10% for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may
be incurred in the course of the transaction for insurance, phone bills,documentation
etc.
3. 60% for me and my partners,which we intend to commence an importation
business with you.

All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out
or the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen days
of commencement after receipt of the following information;

1.Your name and address,
2.Company's name and address if any,
3.Your telephone and fax numbers.

When we receive the above information from you by e-mail, we shall apply

our Importation Business.
