I am sure a lot of you have received at least once or twice, one of those money transfer scams emails, where somebody(who usually is a royalty of an african country) is asking you to help him/her, transfer millions of dollars, and in return you get a big percentage of that money. of course after giving your contact information to them, you will be asked to send couple of hundred dollars to them, for verity of reasons. most people get the scams at that point, but unfortunately some people do send out the money, in hops of making big money, only to find out that the person is never going to reply back and the whole thing wasn’t anything but a clever scam to make some money off of you, and sell your information to advertisers for bombarding you with advertising emails. i hope you have never been a victim of this famous money transferring scam.

I have been getting a lot of those big money transfer scams lately, and what strikes me is the fact that they are getting smarter and more believable. now they are using all kinds of different stories to make the whole thing believable to you, they go as far as providing you a link to a major news organization site, where part of the story that they are telling you is being told there as a major news, and they sometimes do a good job at backing up their fake stories.

Since lately, i have been getting many different version of these scams, i decided to dedicate a category Money Making Scams to this and any other online money making scams that i know of, and every time i receive one of these money transfer scams, post them there. and maybe post some of the most outrageous “making money by helping an out of coutry person transfer big amounts of money scam emails ” in the main page of blogstash. i am doing this mainly for two reason:

1. Hoping that this will be a warning and an aye opener for those who might fall for these scams and end up losing money.

2. To share some laughable moments. every time i read one of these money making scams email, i cant stop laughing, because some of them are quit stupid for the way they put the story together and try to make it believable. if you pay close attention, you can even catch them lying or dismissing a statement they made in the same email. i am sure some people will fall for these scams. but for me it serves as the “joke of the day”, and i just cant believe people fall for these scams.

Any way here is the first ” make money helping someone to transfer huge sums of cash “  scam. enjoy!

 

” Subject: I am seeking your kind assistance‏

Dear Friend, My name is Major Craig Lawrence. I am an American soldier, serving in the military with the army 3rd infantry division. With a very desperate need for assistance, I have decided to contact you.  
 I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of
(US$15,000,000.000) Fifteen Million United States Dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share
will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, this is no stolen money, and there is no danger
involved.
                             
                    SOURCE OF MONEY:
 
Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam old palaces
in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by staff Sgt Kenneth Buff and I that some part of
this money be shared among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money
first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risk
we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb
last week.
 
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me,
so with the help of a British contact working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the
package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. he does not know the real contents of the
package, and believes that it belongs to a British /American medical doctor who died in a raid here in Iraq,
and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his Family in United States.  
 
I have now found a much secured way of getting the package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up,
and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me. I want you to tell me how
much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make
to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and
please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldiers here in Iraq.
 
I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb
attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach
out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately. You may want to go through this web
